The disease is definitely taking over her body. She is so weak, hardly eats and sleeps a great deal, but is very uncomfortable, so wakes up often, but isn't in pain. The difference between yesterday and today is huge. This morning started at 4:00 with anxiety and her feeling shaky. She had a fever and her legs were ice cold. The morning involved a lot of confusion about why she felt the way she did. She wanted to know where John was and when he woke up she demanded that he 'hold her.' We massaged her legs, held her hand and tried to help her relax. After giving her another half dose of lorazepam (for anxiety) she relaxed and fell back asleep. This morning around 8:30, she asked Jenn if she was sick. Jenn told her she had cancer and it was very fast moving. She was comparing how she felt (with being so sleepy/drugged) with the fact that she really is sick and she was coming to the understanding that the cancer is making her fell the way she does, and that it's not the drugs we gave her. It was really sad to say the least. Unfortunately, the 'signs of approaching death' are surfacing. I just pray that it's a quick process from here on out!
