FRIDAY

I spent the afternoon at home getting the Domesday report done while Leofwyna headed up to Omaha to look in on Little Sister at the hospital.  We had hoped she'd be feeling better by the weekend so we could start going in and entertaining her during recuperation.  Leofwyna was also going to go to her apartment to take care of utility bills and remove things from the refrigerator that might become 'smelly'.  

Leofwyna's discussion with the doctor today changed everything.  Tests on the fluid taken from Little Sister's lungs showed that the cancer is back.  Her heart is not dealing well with the dialysis and further surgery is not suggested.  Hospital staff indicatesd Little Sister has been unresponsive even with sedation stopped and she's quickly failing.

Leofwyna came back to Lincoln to take me back to Omaha despite the snowstorm that was developing.  We got back in time together to bid Little Sister farewell.  This next week we'll be busy dealing with the closures.

So sorry to hear of the impending loss. My condolences to you both.

Thanks, our sister had been through cancer treatment three times in the past 25 years, the most recent was last summer and although her spirit was strong this was just too much for her system to manage. We're well into the process of calling the relatives today and arranging for a gathering of the family sometime this coming week, probably Thursday or Friday.

My condolances. I hope her passing is as peaceful as possible

She'd been sedated since Sunday and was unresponsive the last couple days so hopefully she was 'deep' enough. She quietly slipped away late yesterday evening. Leofwyna and I are propping each other up here at home today, calling all the cousins.
