I would give everything I own, just to see you once again....
That's where I believe we are. The last five days have been "winding down" days for all of us but especially for Kenny. Each day he has slept a little bit more. Yesterday he stayed all day in his recliner and slept almost the entire time. He did eat a really good supper and stayed up to watch High Noon with me on the TV. I gave him his meds at 11:30 last night and that is the last time he has really been coherent. This morning, I went in to wake him at 8:00 and we finally made it to the bathroom but that was the extent of it. I managed to get him back in the wheelchair and pushed him to the breakfast table but he was a zombie. He spilled his coffee all over the table but other than that, he was unable to do a thing. When Tasha got here to bathe him, we decided to simply put him back to bed. That is where he remains to this minute. My sister Jude' came down and stayed with him for me to go to the pharmacy and buy some different kind of "diapers" since I will be unable to use his "pullups" if he remains in this condition. I pray that I am up to this challenge; he is difficult to handle outside of the bed when he is as he is now. I think he may not be leaving the bed again. I hope I am mistaken. His and Hyrtha's friend, Venus Hayes from Napa,CA, called this morning to check on Kenny. She normally calls every other day but she felt like she had better call this morning. It seems that he told her yesterday that he thought the end was near. It think that may be happening. He has not urinated since yesterday afternoon. He has drunk nothing since supper when he had a glass of milk, except for the sips of water needed to take his meds. I do not believe he is in any pain. He seems quite peaceful but remains mostly unresponsive to almost all stimuli. I would imagine that he could continue like this for a number of days. Please keep us all in your prayers and especially pray that Kenny will not linger but that his passing will be easy and painless. Thank you all for your faithfulness in keeping in touch with us and for persevering with me through this on-again, off-again blogging that I don't do very well. We are so blessed by your friendship and your love for all of us and by your prayers in our behalf. Thank you all so much.
