Keeping Watch

Denny has steadily declined over the past few days.  He has had increased pain due to the rapid growth of the tumor.  Hospice has been wonderfully responsive.  However, today, we had to move him to an inpatient hospice center.  The doctors can manage the pain more quickly than I can at home.  I had to call a nurse.  They had to drive to the house. The nurse then had to call the doctor who then issued the order.  All of that was taking too long.  Katherine, the hospice nurse we had today was so efficient.  We had an ambulance at the house and Denny was on his way.

The facility we are in is beautiful and serene.  Denny is very comfortable.  I'm by his side keeping watch.  They say he is near the end of this journey.  God is waiting for him.  Superman is waiting to fly once more.

I love you, Denny.
