A tear filled phone call....

Heather is in Florida with no real signal for her laptop, so Im blogging for her (Andrea). I just got off the phone with her. First and foremost, she wants to thank everyone for all the thoughts and prayers that have been sent out to her, her aunt Gloria and the family.

She called me from the Hospice house. She said the house, the staff, the enviroment are all so beautiful and wonderful. Its sad that such a beautiful place is there for such an awful thing. Her Aunt Gloria is holding on. She is still able to recognize them every now and then and even has tried to make a few 'funnies'. Her breathing is very slow and labored, which leads them to believe that the time is nearing. Now, the time that is left is spent making her comfortable and showing her love and appreciation.

Again, Heather really wants you to know how much she appreciates everyones love and concern, prayers and thoughts.

She also wants to shout out another "Fuck You Cancer" and I second that motion!

Entry was in and out over a couple hours, please bear with the random trail...

God love these hospice folks, they just had their IT guy spend about an hour getting my internet up for me. I really can't say enough good things about them. I swear they all have some angel in them. One just brought me a fresh out of the oven oatmeal cookie. Mmm.

I just talked to the DR as my Uncle needed to get some air. She's definately doing worse than yesterday. Her lungs are filling with secretions she isn't able to handle. They are going to TRY to dry them up, and we'll go from there... For now, we'll take that.

My Uncle Jerry just met with the Dr. While he did I spent some amazing moments with my Aunt. She was medicated about 20 minutes ago. She reached for my hand a couple times and puckered her lips for a kiss. I will NEVER EVER forget these moments. Even though she can't speak, the love is felt both ways.

I'm not sure when I will get back on, but for now just know every prayer is felt and appreciated more than words can say!

Thank you all!
