UPDATE!!!!!!! missqueenbee47 (Patricia. She sent me an email......
DeVon,
I took Rick out for a Sub Wed. lunch (afternoon) - he enjoyed the trip. It was the first and only time he has left Hospice in three weeks he has been there.
He has been in pain most of today (Thursday) more than normal - hope it wasn't the food. My brother brought him a plate for supper too.
He has been on morphine for about a week now.
He is so thin. He nods off sometimes but he is still alert - can talk about any subject with full comprehension.
Thank goodness.
Thank everyone for the prayers -
I am thankful for what we do have - his alertness and that he can eat some now!!!
You can't imagine how it makes me feel to know that people all over the world care about him -
and that there are people who have reached God with their prayers.
- only a week ago or so - he was not able to eat at all - and was very discouraged.
Thank you so much!!
He is a very strong person - doesn't complain - except when the pain is very severe -
and he has a good attitude.
DeVon, you know how hard it is to watch your loved one suffer.
Pray I can be strong for him and for myself!!
- Love Patricia

The cuties are here for you, they are a strong prayer group and care about you but you must understand that it is not up to you or us when it is time to go. Knowing that he is surrounded by love makes a difference for sure though. I have felt the love of cuties and it makes a difference.
Hugs, Debra

48168I am so sorry. I know what you are going through. I took care of a very good friend of mine and stayed with her continually. Her worst fears were they should would be in uncontrollable pain and that she would be alone when she died. When the time came she was not in pain and she went peacefully in her sleep. Our prayers were answered and I know yours will be too. Thoughts and prayers are going your way.
