Yes. Still here - Thu. Oct. 24, 2024
It's Michael.
We may just about have the pain medication right. Hospice was here yesterday and we've upped a couple meds. Laurel is doing great today, pain-wise, but the trade off is extreme drowsiness. She has tried many times to do the update for today but keeps dozing off.
She continues to sleep through the night. Talk about a blessing. When I think about the alternative, dealing with her painful symptoms 24 hours a day rather than just during waking hours, my gratitude is renewed. Truly the Lord is not testing her beyond her ability to endure. It may be close...! but she's persevering.
I couldn't be more proud of her or more grateful for all of you. She enjoys hearing your words. I know it's not easy for some of you to post, so a special thank you goes out to you.
More tomorrow.
I'm so glad to hear the pain meds are helping, and that you are getting real sleep at night. When I hear you have been trying to keep up walking around the house as long as you can, or that you are giving some input to these entries, I'm amazed at how strong and brave you are. Your story inspires me to do my best even when I'm having problems. You are a real hero!
