*update*

Spoke with T- her mom is still holding on with them. Originally they thought it would only be a matter of hours but now they say that this process could take 1-2 days.

They are in the process of moving her from the hospital to hospice care so she can be more comfortable. T and her sister are going to the house to get some special things to surround her with things she loves to make her happier. Hospitals are not very happy places to be-

She says they are able to joke around and spend some good time together. Even her mom is maintaining her sense of humor-T is just trying hard to be strong right now for her dad and her mom.

The next couple of days are going to be hard and long for T & K and their family as they go through this- I know they will be on all of our minds. I told her we all send our love- she told me she has been getting supportive messages and they have been helping her.

:( It was good to hear her voice- she is such a wonderful strong and loving person. I know I am blessed beyond belief to have her in my life and I am so thankful to her mom (and dad) for having such a fabulous daughter.

*sigh* She asked me to update LoT- keep those loving and supportive vibes going her way.

Thank you for the update. Prayers, good vibes, and wishes for peace and love are still radiating from this end of the cosmos. And they will continue to do so.

We love you T & K!

Well the one good thing is that T's mom will be made as comfortable as possible in a hospice, that she will be there surrounded by the people that love her and the people and things that she loves. If one had to choose....

Yes I agree. I rejoice that Delores will be around with the things and people she loves in her final hours. The people that work for Hospice are some of the most loving, caring people that I know of. When my Grandpa's battle with cancer was nearing its end they took very good care of him and also gave us comfort and love as well. I am thankful in this for all of them.

Thanks for the update, Neph. I've been thinking about them all day today, and like everyone else my heart sort of does a skip-beat when a new post is added here.

Talked to her half an hour ago. Pretty much what Neph said.

The nice thing about hospice vs. ICU is that they can create a much more comfortable environment; they can surround her with treasured items, no bright lights, and there will be a bed for Disneyphile's dad so he can stay in the room with her. Also hospice has some better drugs available to them which are focused more on preserving the quality of the life remaining, rather than the life itself (eg: can kill the pain better while hopefully allowing her to regain consciousness a bit more to spend some quality time with her family and friends). So they're going to 'party' a bit with her to celebrate her life and brighten up the time she has remaining.

Goonie, thanks for the news. That's awesome, it will be much better than being in ICU. I've been thinking of them all day, and will continue to send the good thoughts.

BDBopper 02-20-2008 05:30 PM

thanks for the update. I don't know her mom at all but based on the woman she has raised that she is quite the wonderful person and her life truly deserves to be honored and celebrated!

I reckon all the treasured items I'd ever need is a laptop and a link to you guys.

You are all such a blessing, I'm so glad to be part of this LoT.

Continued thoughts & prayers to T&K and family.

Neph:

Can you get an address to send some flowers for T's mom?
