Hey, girl! I haven't gotten a chance to catch up with you. Thank you so much for including my sister on your prayer list. That touches my heart to know that. Thanks for your congrats on the mod gig on the other thread, too. I know it seems like too much for me to take on, what with school and home such priorities, but I think when this situation at home resolves itself as we know it will, it's going to be a good distraction for me in the long run even if the timing of everything combined is potentially stressful right now.

I dropped you a reply in one of our other threads (I can't remember which) that I'd made the soup on Sunday. It turned out great. Was a huge hit with everyone here. My parents are here, too, now, and my aunt and younger sister have been in and out a lot more, so we're feeding a crowd. We spooned a little broth into Bess' mouth and she seemed to like it, but she's not really eating/swallowing any more in just the last day and a half. I wish I'd made the soup a week earlier when she still was. Today she's been nearly totally comatose, and the hospice team says that'll just continue to deepen till she eases through the transition. We're turning her and keeping her comfortable, keeping her airway clear. I sing to her and talk to her and stroke her skin and hope she's aware of that, but it certainly doesn't appear that she is. Anyway, the death vigil has begun, and it's heartbreaking, of course, but I'm glad she's no longer aware of any pain or suffering.

Thank you, as you always are, for being so caring and concerned. Much love to you, Tootsie.
