I downloaded AOL at my MIL's so I can be on-line occasionally. I called in to work tonight. Things are not going well and I needed to be here. Emotionally and to help. We are now having trouble controlling the pain tonight so I am the best at not being afraid to medicate her as much as she needs. Also she just is limp so moving her takes both of us. She is very restless so I am awake while Rick sleeps. It is best 2 do shifts. Now with my computer I can keep busy as TV just doesn't interest me much. Too many commercials which just drive me nuts. It is a wonder I haven't thrown something through the screen. It is worse then when I gave up TV 7 years ago.
Anyway, not much to say but wanted to let you know. I can get on the computer at night when I am sure no one will call. I am spoiled by cable. I had forgotten how slow dial up is.

Dear Julie
I am praying for you and Rick to have enough strength to see Betty through her passing. I know it is taking a toll on you all now and God Love her she is in such discomfort! I will pray that her passing is quick now for her sake. May God bless her and help her on her way 'home'.
Sending you my prayers for her comfort and your strength.
You are in my thoughts daily.
Take care
God Bless you all.

I am glad that you have a few minutes to take a short break and do your entry. This can really wear a body down in body and mind. You need a diversion every once in a while. I pray that your's and Ricks backs hold out. I know you have to turn a person every two hours to prevent bed sores. That can take a lot out of you. You have to do this is order not to scare them so that is hard to do since you really need two people to do this. Rolling them on a draw sheet really helps doesn't it. I am glad that you can give her the meds she needs to help keep the pain at bay. Hugs, Helen
I'm so sad for you all. Gosh i wish I could just give you a big hug cause I know how hard it is to go through what you all are going through. sigh. Love you. Prayers and GBU, Shelly

I'm glad you have your computer there, even if it is on dial up. It's MUCH better than TV...I totally agree with you on that.
Keeping your family in my prayers.
