Another eventful day

Dera friends,

I must be brief. It has been another very long day with a lot of drama and stress. Janet slept through most of the day. There were no tests, no radiation treatments, no surgeries. She is now on morphine at a level sufficient to manage the pain. It had subdued her and she slept the whole day except for brief intervals in the morning and late afternoon.
We were happy to see her sleep so soundly, but worried about her losing contact with us. She also was getting a seditive at increasing dosages to control anxiety and make her breathing easier.
Fast actions and important decisons were made today, and we were able to get her accepted by the Montgomery County Hospice care program. It is a private not for profit group. She was tarnsefred by ambulance this evening at 6:30 pm to the Casey hospice house in Montgomery county. They only have 10 beds. It is small and nice and very well staffed. I have heard good things about their program. It is hoped that she can be restored to some level of capability and sent home for home hospice care, but this is optimistic.
So she is resting quietly and is surrounded by close family and a few key medical friends.
Please do not call or visit the Casey House. Janet has the help she needs and we shall continue to pray for her.
