This Great Lady Died Today at 4:02 9/26/09

Just a note to let you know Doris made it through the nite, but around 4:30 a.m. her breathing became more labored and she is sleeping more and talking less when she is aroused for medication. They have up'd the dosage of her meds as she seemed to be in more pain. They worked in shifts for meds, all nite and Tina was even able to get some rest....so it is progressing toward the end, but not just yet! I'll let you all know as soon as I know anything. m

Aunt Doris

I am so sorry to tell you that Aunt Doris is in the hospital bleeding internally from a tear in her heart. She has opted not to have surgery and probably will not make it through the day. She is on morphine and resting comfortably. Regina Hospital in Hastings. Janet and I will be going there shortly and will try to keep you all posted.

Update on Loretta

Loretta is in a nursing home trying to build up some strength to go home.........she was having trouble sleeping and then a doc who's not her regular doc gave her valium to sleep and after 8 days she'd used up her whole month's dose (probably sleeping but not thinking she'd slept and taking more valium. etc/////////) so she became very slurred in speech and they put her in the hospital and found that she did have a UTI........but then they also pursued an mri and found that she also has an anuyurism............one centimeter..........so now she has to see a neurologist to see what to do about that............she still sounds like her speech is a bit slurred and I'm not sure why.....................I told her that we were coming for her birthday celebration and she said "we'd better"! Funny!

Message written by Kathleen, after talking to Michael and Loretta herself. It sounds like she can use some prayers....They will be celebrating her 90th birthday on Oct. 24 in Dublin at Mike's home. All are invited. m
