Hopefully, this is it for a while

Sunday, August 14th, 2005She’s been in a semi-conscious state since returning to the hospice on Tuesday, and essentially unconscious since Thursday. Tonight, the doctors said her breathing entered the final stage before total respitory failure.

She was readmitted to the hospice this afternoon after six days of rapid deterioration despite round-the-clock home care. Diana stayed at her apartment last night and slept [...]
They sent Nonna home
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005[Nonna at her 80th birthday party, 2/24/05]The doctors released Nonna from the hospital today with instructions to make her as comfortable as possible. There is nothing else, medically, they can do to help her. Either she receives a miracle, or she’ll be reunited with her husband Richard and face-to-face with Jesus real soon. Please keep [...]

On Thursday, the doctors prepared the family that if things didn’t turn around in the next 24 hours, she might have as few as 7-14 days left. Friday morning’s blood tests revealed a marked improvement, however, and by yesterday [...]
Perspective, part two
Wednesday, July 6th, 2005After the commotion of the Crusade and Xcel’s June calendar, I took Thursday and Friday off to extend the holiday weekend and hopefully get some rest. But alas, rest was not to be. On Thursday, Judah and I picked up his friend Sammy for two days of all-boy fun (see Perspective, part one, below). Unfortunately [...]
