Journal entry by Lisa Lyon

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Mainly because there have been no changes with Cathy. She is slowly declining but still very confused and not making much sense. It’s hard to update when there aren’t many changes. She’s as comfortable as she can be. I’ve been pretty intrigued that her pain level has gone down. There for a while we were having to sleep in her living room and press the pain pump for her every 10 min to every hour. Now we just let the pump do the work and no complaints. Prayers are working for that bit at least! 

Her sister Cindy and brother in law Randy are now out of town til the end of January. This was a trip in the making for 2 years and a celebration for Randy finally retiring :). Cindy was so conflicted but we are so happy they are having the trip they so much deserve! Brent, the kids and I basically moved in with Cathy so we can give her the care she needs. The kids each have their own room and are adjusting well. Thankfully, they are both very understanding and very good with change. Her parents are coming over during the day to help with watching her as well, so we can still work. So far so good. We are taking it one day at a time.

Thank you to all those that have sent food, prayed and visited her. She may not hold a logical conversation but I truly believe she knows who you are and is happy to see any visitors. If you’ve been reaching out to Cindy, while she enjoys Australia, please either text her mom, Sally or myself, 901-219-1004
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support
