The Hannah Family

Mom was asleep with her eyes open (after school)

Clean plate club

Almost

The local library is small, but good. They have a quiet room which I headed for today because the main area has tutors talking, kids yelling and phones ringing. The library is one floor, but there’s a drop in the back so it felt like I was on the second story, with a view of the trees, plants and sky. I only lasted 5 minutes before retreating to the noisy side.

There was a man sitting 3 desks from me who snorted every 30 seconds like a pig, fully grunting. I don’t know what is going on with his nose, throat or sinuses, but the quiet room is not where he belongs!

Steadily losing weight (as expected with the disease)

I think of hospice care as 6 months or less, but Mom has been a patient for 2.5 times that because I asked and she qualifies due to the severity and certain outcome of her illness. I’m grateful for the extra help and care. Thank God she isn’t in pain.

Her pants look big because of the Depends, but she weighs much less than the average weight of a 10-year-old boy. (I have an Echo Dot that came with my Odyssey SiriusXM subscription, thus access to unlimited data.)

School

It’s going well but the professors must think I can read in my sleep! I think I can, I think I can...

Happy today!

Fun lunch with Mom

School is canceled again tomorrow, but NC State is open so I had to go tonight. Thank goodness for umbrellas. 

School canceled tomorrow

Hurricane Dorian is intensifying and headed up the Carolina coasts.

Roller coaster

Mom was in a great mood today and said hi.

Yoda Mandy

We love our new beautiful jerk of a dog Chloe, but still miss our last pup of 18 years. My dad-in-law commented all the time about the great care I provide our pets. It's true, but letting go is excruciating. I'm talking about Mandy, but thinking about Dad and crying.
