Teresa Got Cranky

We came here yesterday with the hopes of them making Shirley more comfortable. Unfortunately, I don't see a lot of that. Shirley has a lot of mucus buildup in her throat and she is not strong enough to cough it out. It makes her sick and it's happening more and more. I don't like it. She is not in a lot of pain. That is under control. But I don't really think the mucus and nausea is under control. And really, that is just my opinion. It's hard watching her go through some of the things she is going through. And hearing them say that these are normal changes her body is going through does not make it any easier.

She has gone 6 days without food and really that's enough for me. It makes me uncontrollably sad. So I am trying to find ways to deal with it because I don't have much of a choice. But please know that I am not happy about it. I want her to be comfortable and peaceful, as we all do.

Maybe with a little more time, that will happen. I don't know. Very frustrating. It's late, going to try to sleep on the sofa. Hope for a better tomorrow. Pray for our Shirley. Pray for our family.

Love,

Teresa
