Good morning,

Things are progressing quickly with my mother-in-law.  Friday my husband
called to say she isn't doing very good and he came and picked me up.  We
got to the hospital and  couldn't believe the change.  Just two days ago she
was fine and talking about everything and everyone.  But when we arrived,
her breathing was laboured.  The oncologist was there and told us they are
going to keep her comfortable and that she may only have days left.
Saturday was no different then Friday, still laboured breathing  and didn't
know if anyone was there.  All her grandchildren and her children(with their
spouses) were there to see her.
Sunday has my husband and I walked in, to our surprise, she was awake and
talking when she could get things out.  The saddest part of the day came,
when my husband bent over to say a prayer and she started to say it with him
and also told him he was a good boy.  I lost it then and so did the rest of
the room.  She also told my husband she was ready to go.  There wasn't a dry
eye in the room.  As I sat holding her hand, my mother-in-law whispered, she
was going to heaven. She stayed that way all day and when we decided to go
home for the night, the nurses gave her something to calm her down and
sleep. We left thinking how strong she was that day and the body as its own
agenda.

thanks for listening,
dianne
