Journal entry by Jody Condon —
We had some photos taken Easter weekend of our youngest daughter in my wedding dress as well as some of the 3 of us… I am in the process of making a getting ready robe for Josie and her partner and some items for our son and grandson… wanted some photos before I cut into the dress… Allison was amazing to work with… Mom was having a tough day…. But these photos are priceless.
Mom has transitioned back into hospice… she has been struggling with pneumonia in the last few weeks. Her pain has increased quite significantly. She is a tough lady, but this has taken a toll on her emotionally…
She really enjoyed a visit from Brett and Gary last weekend… she gets teary during visits sometimes. But, don’t misunderstand-she enjoys the visits quite a lot! Beth has continued her visits as well as the Willmores… Joe and Zeline and Jessica stopped this week. These visits are absolutely the best and we ALL appreciated them! Easter we had Larry and Sue visit, and I sure appreciate that-Mom wasn’t feeling great… we had some college students for lunch and the afternoon… so it was a super nice day!
Please send good vibes for Mom to manage the discomfort she is experiencing … Shawnya came for a massage yesterday but it seemed to make mom feel less comfortable… we keep trying different things and we will get there …
XO,
Jo
