May 11,2011



9:28 am
Not such a great morning . Stevens still in bed. He had a very restless night. He still remains in oxygen and is having a very difficult time even walking to the bathroom therefore needs my help. The hospice nurse is coming and I'm a nervous wreck sitting here alone. I messaged Stevens sister in hopes she will come over and within a hour she was here. Stevens still remains in bed. 0h GOD, what will this day bring for everyone ? I thought I was prepared for this day but was I so wrong. If there was ever a day that I would feel frightened and confused, this would be it. Please dear Jesus ....stand by me !
11:48 am
The hospice nurse arrived and seen how Stevens status was rapidly deteriorating so we both decoded to increase his morphine dose. Marilyn called all the family and informed them of Stevens decline.
11:53 pm
All of the family came tonight including his children. It's been a long and exhausting day. Steven remains week and in bed. His voice raspy, his color ashen, his respiratory status labored. I so have this gut feeling that he will not make the night. Lord, please open your arms to him. He has suffered enough and has accomplished what he has set out to do....<3
