Finally, we've made it to the last stage of Mom's life. We just moved her into Aurora's Zilber Hospice in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. This beautiful room overlooking a lovely patio, complete with finch feeder will be her final resting spot here on earth. Although the nurses at St. Luke's were wonderful, I'm glad to get away from the beeping, interrupting, stressful atmosphere of the hospital. It's quiet here, just the bubbling of the oxygen humidifier to lull us to sleep. (I'm beginning to love that sound! Might need to check into something that bubbles for my bedroom.) Mom's resting comfortably, and seems in a much better mood today. They gave her a transfusion yesterday, so she got a little "boost" to help her make the transition comfortably. She's a little more talkative today. I got to ask her the "what year did you get married?" question as well as "tell me your father's first name again?"Though I'm sure it won't be long, only the Lord knows when she'll get to go Home. I hope to enjoy these days with her, no matter how much time is left.
