Today started like they have the last day or two, Jeri had a good walk and some OT and then she went to her room so she could rest for lunch.
Jeri was rather sad this afternoon; one of the women resident at the facility that Jeri and she had become really good friends. They had gone to dialysis for a few months and had bonded and a few weeks ago her doctor told her that she had too much infection in her system and there wasn't anything they could do for her so she stopped dialysis and stopped eating very much, as we were leaving the facility about two o'clock her daughter came and told Jeri that Joan only had a very short time left, which caused Jeri to shed tears, not for her because Joan knew where she was going and what was waiting for her but it hard to have one of your friends leave this existence.
We, meaning Jeri, Cliff and I left the facility shortly after two o'clock and went to Jeri's heart doctor and had her pace maker checked. After Jeri told him of her symptoms and he tweaked her pacer and that helped her immediately, which was a very good thing and then he said that he was going to give her a medicine that would keep her blood pressure up where it needs to be. She had a very good ride back to SDCH and then we had a very good evening and then I came home.
Thanks to all of you for your prayers and good wishes.

  1. That was an amazing thing to witness. I couldn't believe all the things he was able to do with that machine. Truly a miracle. See you tomorrow. :)
