Anita is
home again in Prescott. Her son, Brian,
will be there all week. Lauren will come this weekend and be able to stay for
the following week. They are all hoping that Diana will be able to arrange a
visit as well.
Anita continues to be weak. She sleeps a lot. She is able to
eat by mouth. She also has a feeding [GI] tube to help give her the much needed
extra nutrients she has been lacking.
She has good moments during the day where she is able to sit in a chair
and visit.
Bob stated that while these moments are very precious, MDS is
terminal. Her bone marrow disease is not improving.
Because she has good times during the day, anyone who would
like to come for a short visit is welcome. [Be sure you are well!] The afternoons appear to be
her best time. Bob loves the company and feels your love and support. As you might imagine this is a very difficult
time for the family. Please keep your visits short [20-30 minutes] based on how
well Anita may be doing at the time.
Again, a special thank you to every one who has brought food,
sent cards, made calls. It means everything to the family. Your comments on
this blog have helped Bob feel your love without him having to retell the story
several times a day. He always comments on how much it means to him to hear
from you. Thank you!
Dear Anita and Bob - Just thinking of you at this late hour and sending my warmest wishes and dearest hopes to you both. I love you and hope to drop in this week for a short visit. Cherish this time and lean into your faith,family, and friends and they will never fail you.
ReplyDeleteHello Anita and Bob, Thank you for letting me come by a few days ago. Anita, you looked so good with your new haircut and manicure and I'm sure it made you feel better. I was so glad to see you sitting up in a chair, surrounded by your family. I know you have been back in the hospital this week, but I'm praying that you are doing better now, and are back home again. You both must feel very loved to have your children with you. Enjoy your time together.
ReplyDeleteDear Anita, Sorry I couldn't come in to see you today when I dropped by, but my ear infection kept me away from you. I wanted to visit with you so much, and can hardly wait until next week when we can have a good visit. I hear that you're getting a little feisty lately--I'm so glad. I'm also so happy to hear that you are eating a few bites...how soon will you be ready for another trip to In-n-Out???
