Hi Pete

My BP is dropping as well. Last read was 86/63.
I am now severely nauseous and every other day I am unable to eat. Pain levels have increased and I have had to resort to narcotics during the day. The end is nearing. When I close my eyes, besides the colors from my synesthesia, I am seeing a happy nun. I may be hallucinating from the drugs but she keeps popping up. I think she is my guardian angel.

i dont know where the end is. i sleep 16+ hours a day, the nurses say they can barely hear any air movement. my bp veries my on is about 93-96. i feel always exhauasted. dont care if i eat. dry heave and nausea often. as med time gets near i get air hunger and hot. taking shower or using toilet wipes me out. is this near the end or jus another step. i just dont know i guess i just patiently wait.

Pete, I so admire your courage and your strength. I am also impressed in the strength of your faith. I hope you can wrap that faith around you tightly and, when it is time, it holds you close until you are on the other side. Wishing you peace.

Continuing to pray for you Pete. May the Lord grant you peace and strength and the same for Cary and your children.

Hugs,

Hi.Pete

Praying for you. I am down to days, I haven't been able to tolerate any food since last Thursday. Breathing is very weak. Very nauseous and in pain. Ready to run to my heavenly father . This is likely my last post. Love to you and pray for a peaceful transition for you. You have been an inspiration.
