Thurs 12 Dec

Nice to have some time to read last night before sleep. Still so many holiday preparations undone, though. Hopefully we can put the tree up on Friday night. I'd really like to have it up to enjoy. Talked to the hospice nurse this morning. Reports are that Grandma hasn't really taken any food or drink of note for a couple of days which isn't promising. I'm going to try to stop out after work. Might be a good idea to visit this weekend if you want to see her, though I won't be ready with any Christmas celebrations. Let me know what feels right for you. Just saw Grandma. She was sleeping, mouth wide open, and I couldn't wake her. Log says they're giving her morphine and Tylenol so that probably accounts for the deepness of the sleep. When I drove into the garage, the phone rang and it was the facility director wanting me to know that she has taken a definite downturn and is likely actively dying. No idea how long this will take, but I would understand if you don't want to see her this way. She isn't likely to be able to interact at all unless she takes an unexpected upturn. I again leave it up to you; we will certainly fetch you if you want to be here.
