Prayer for Bonnie
Please pray for Bonnie as she awoke twice in the night and once just now with "terrible pain", a "7" on a pain scale of 10. We will meet with the Hospice RN for advice and probably increase the frequency of her pain medication. I was able to get some soft food down and give her some medication, but her swallowing ability is weakening.
Please pray that she is able to go to the bathroom and get some relief from the buildup in her bowels, the ascites (fluid retention) is back.
We had a wonderful time with her last night, Dad, Stephen, David, Rebecca and I sat with her for 1 hour as she wanted us to wake her up, so she could be with us. I rubbed her hands and feet, we talked and laughed, and then David played and sang some of his songs and a few others. We closed with the song, "We Love You, Lord" and prayer, Stephen annointed Mom's head with oil.
It was a precious time and I desperately want more this week.
With Christ,
Bethany
