A little confused

Corrine is waking up a little more confused these days. Last night she asked me if I would go to Madagascar with her. Another time she asked if I would drive. Corrines's in a hurry to get where ever she's going and she's concerned about being late. She tries her best to get up so she can 'get ready.' We assure Corrine she has nothing left to do here but rest... that soon she'll be in heaven. Once convinced, she lays back to sleep once again.

Corrine's vitals are ditto what they've been, but it is clear her condition is changing. When she does awaken, she is not talkative and much of what she says doesn't make sense to us. Much to our surprise, Corrine is still taking her oral medication and we have established a regular interval for her anti-nausea medication. She is drinking very little.

Corrines favorite part of the day was when her grandsons came to visit. She clearly acknowledged them and beckoned them into the room, speaking loud and clear "ring, ring, ring, I want my boys." She also enjoyed a bed bath complete with a good hair scrub.

As for me, what a difference a day makes. After a long nap this afternoon and a good book to read, I am much more calm and confident. I am not on the verge of an angry outburst, and I feel much more comfortable in my skin, I am acceptable just the way I am. Thankfully, God has given me a moment of peace, again.
