Good new! Chariots a-coming and I don't want it to leave me behind....

Last night was a very peaceful night. Kenny slept well until about 6 AM. I got up several times during the night just to make sure he was still breathing. He seemed peaceful and calm. At 6 I changed him and gave him a dose of Methadone and he went back to sleep until about 10 AM at which time he said he was hungry. He only ate four spoonsful of oatmeal and drank a little chocolate milk and wanted no more. He spent the rest of the day in a semi-awake state. He is able to communicate sometimes quite lucidly for about 2 minutes and then it seems as if he just goes off to some other place and/or time. He asked me to get him up once (which I am unable to do anymore because he is so weak; he cannot help himself at all.) I explained to him that I could not lift him and he seemed to not care one way or the other. It may be that by the time I finished explaining, he was off in his other world. He is seeing something that I cannot see because he keeps reaching for it. I asked him what he saw; he said it was something soft and fuzzy. Maybe angels do have wings!

He is not nearly so cold as he has been in the past. I have had the thermostat turned up a bit and have left the doors to the front porch open. There has been a nice breeze in addition to the fact that we seem to be having a few early autumn days here in Murrells Inlet. The pups and I sat out on the porch most of the morning with the monitor so that I could hear him if he needed me but I could enjoy the gorgeous day and nice breeze. It was a nice reward for me since I did not get to go to the mountains as we had planned. Mountains or Marsh...both have been God's gift to me this summer. Not a bad deal at all.

I am not at all sure where we are going in the short term. I do feel very strongly that he is weaker every day and is less and less present. The times of lucidity are few and fleeting. Most of his "awake" time is spent staring at something that we are unable to see. He seems at peace which is a blessing for us all. He appears to be waiting...for Jesus, I think.
