Journal entry by Barbara Silas-Ragsdale

Hi Family!

I am back in Illinois...my mom is doing good.  Her sisters are all there with her.  First time they have all been together in a very long time.  I spoke with her  yesterday and she is so happy!

She is still having seizures...sometimes...but this is expected.  She has a tumor in her brain which impedes electrical conduction as well as the flow of CSF.  But she is happy, comfortable...and in no pain. She chooses what she eats/drinks and when.  She gets to choose her death, just as she chose her life.  

The sisters will be there till next week.  I will come back then...bringing AJ, Ceana, and my husband Steve.  She smiled when I told her Ceana would help me take care of her.. and AJ HAS ALWAYS  been there for her.  He stayed in the hospital with her when she had surgery after breast cancer....he wanted me to get home and rest.

Continue to pray for us. My plan is to stay till the end of October, and then come back every month.
 
Love u guys!!❤❤❤❤
