2/26 Update

Hi there Michelle's friends and family. I'm Randi Helm, Michelle's sister in law. She asked me to give you a Mom update. Marge's illness is progressing all too rapidly. She has begun taking the Morphine and is out of it most of the day. The good thing is that it truly helps her to relax and she doesn't appear to be struggling to breathe as much as the weekend.

Tomorrow, 2/27, an ambulance will come in the afternoon and transport her to Angel Grace Hospice. Michelle and Dorothy agree, along with the nurse, that it is time she receive 24 hour hospice care. The nurse was there today and told them that she really thinks that Marge has maybe 3 or 4 more days left. This is a harsh reality but it seems through talking with Michelle, Dorothy and my husband, John, that Marge is really desiring to go be with the Lord more and more.

Please keep praying that she is comfortable and doesn't struggle. She is a sweet generous soul and we want her to know peace.

We'll keep you posted.
Peace
Randi

Lifting you all up in prayer. Michelle sending you a huge hug too. I know this is so hard but know that our Lord is waiting for your mom and he is standing beside you for you to find comfort in him. Take his hand and you will find the strength to face the days ahead.

Ah-Randy...I remember reading your blog a time or two when Michelle referenced it. Please let Michelle know that if she needs anything that is not already being taken care of===just to get in touch with me and I will do it.
Thanks.

Dot, John & Lucy,
I just found out about Aunt Margie. VERY very sad. I pray that God looks over your loving family and gives you all strength to help you through this very difficult time. Give Aunt Margie a kiss for me. Love, Pam
