It's Monday at 11:45 AM and Mom is still sleeping since 9 PM last night. We believe it's because we just plain wore her out yesterday!
On Sunday Mom began the day by watching conference, one of her favorite things to do, but it was extra special because the camera men showed Janet singing in the choir 6 or 7 times, one pretty full faced. That's a record! Mom was very proud of Janet, as she always is, but how fun to see her so many times. It was the only session Jan sang in because she wanted to be at home with Mom.
All her children were around her all day, as well at 2 sisters, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was bright, alert, funny, witty, inspiring and quite beautiful! We could hardly believe she was so awake and for so long, but we all loved spending time with her and everyone got the "alone" time that they wanted.
She really wanted to get up and go for a walk, but we didn't have the ability to do that for her with all the cords she's attached to, so we called Hospice, they brought over a wheelchair this morning, and if Mom is still up to it, we'll take her out for a bit.
It's hard to believe she is feeling so well without having any liquids or food since the IV was taken out last Friday. Her last meal was 2 weeks ago yesterday while in Missouri. What an amazingly tough and courageous Mom.
Stay tuned, we'll keep you updated!

So glad to have updated news of my lovely aunt. She is in our prayers (as are you all). I, too, was glad to see Jan in the choir. I was wondering if she would be able to be there.
With much love, Sue Anne
This blog is so neat! I've been keeping track of you Aunt Betty, Through my Dad, and I'm just amazed at your strength. It's great to see your smile. I love you, and miss you!
