A more comfortable surrounding!!

This is our first day at Glen and Genette's home. It has been a full day. Annette, the hospice nurse, came about 9:00 and drew blood to have a CBC. She then went and picked up the platelets and came back to the house and administrated them. She will be coming back every day to give platelets plus blood when ever he needs it. He opted to continue platelets because if he doesn't it would be a very painful way "to go." We want him to be as comfortable as possible, in the little time that he has left. He is doing a good job handling the situation. He has had a lot of visitors today. Jerrie, his sister, and her husband were here for the day. Our best friends Nila and Phil Panter were here for a while this afternoon. They are so supportive through all of this. Nicole and Alison, my two daughters, flew out from Arizona. Nicole was just here for the day. Alison will be here a couple of days. Most of Kent's children were here this evening for a dinner, so the girls could meet all of them. Some of the grandchildren were able to come and see their grandpa and say good-bye. It is kind of hard for the kids to see him. He looks so different than when they last saw him. It is hard to know whether it is good for them to see him or to remember how he was. I am staying very busy caring for him. When things get where I am not able to take care of him, he will have a full time hospice nurse. I hope that I am able to take care of his needs and that he will have a peaceful passing. He truly deserves the world. I wish I could help him and give him some of my energy, I think that is what is the hardest for him right now, feeling so weak and feeling like he is not getting enough oxygen. It breaks my heart, but I am also very grateful that his pain isn't out of control, I know we are very blessed because this could be so much worse. I am glad that he is still able to visit with me and his friends and family. I know it is hard on him to visit for too long, but it sure helps lift my spirits when we have loved ones around. Thank you all for your love and support through this time in our lives. We love you all!
