Jean has had fewer
nausea episodes and milder tremors since Saturday, and her voice has regained
enough strength to allow whispering to caregivers and her numerous
visitors. Jean has been enjoying
connecting with family and friends, but it is important for visitors to know
what to expect. If you visit us at the
hospice, she may watch videos with you, or have a conversation; or your
interaction may just be to hold her hand and talk to her while she listens
intently and responds to questions with squeezes; or she may doze off. She may also doze off if you Skype with her
or talk on the phone.
One piece of worrisome
news: she has started coughing when drinking, so for the time being she's only
taking thickened fluids; even her beloved green tea lattés must get this distasteful
treatment
