I am sleeping at my parents house now. The hospice nurse says we have a week or so. Mom is sleeping a lot, but when she is awake she is often quite restless. We had a morning of good lucidity today, although it began at 4am, we'll take it whenever we can.
Pop and I were able to help her to the bathroom, which she much prefers over the other options. Well, who doesn't, right? She also had a half a cup of tea this morning, which we consider a fantastic accomplishment.
I have dashed home for a quick shower and clean clothes. I've answered some emails and thought that I would post this brief update. I would update more, but my parents computer is a relic and I haven't even tried.
Thank you, all, for keeping us in your thoughts.
