February 13 Later In the Day

Judy was very restless today.  She struggled to find a position where her back would not cause her pain.  She was given medication to comfort her frequently today.  Her voice is very weak and she struggles to be coherent.  She has thoughts that she would like to express, but they are trapped inside her head.  I spent most of the morning and afternoon at the hospital.  Family members came and went.  When Mary and I left just after 5 pm, she was resting comfortably.  She did not eat today...only a couple sips of water.  During the afternoon, Judy wanted to sit up on the side of her bed.  Mary and I helped her sit up.  These are tough days for all of us, my friends.
