On Monday night Terrie did not recognize two very good friends but was able to speak with them intermittently. Yesterday the doctor and staff administered stronger medications, as Terrie was in a great deal of pain. As a result, she spent the day sleeping. Over the next day or so, the doctor hopes to reduce the medication just enough so that it will control the pain but will still allow Terrie to stay awake. According to the palliative pain nurse, there may be "a small window" (I think she means a small range) where that would be possible.
Grandma Juanita, Auntie Deon, and Marisa were on their way back yesterday, but had not arrived by the time I had to leave. The facility granted permission for friends and family to stay with Terrie, so her good friend Nancie L. was going to stay with her all night, so she would not be alone.
When I return tonight I'll let you know what else has happened.
Under His mercy,
Marty
