Carol has had some ups and downs the last few days, but she's hanging in there. The nurses say that her heartbeat and blood pressure are good. The breathing still seems to be an issue, but they gave her oxygen last night and it helped. She's also become a bit nocturnal lately, so her sleeping patterns are a bit off whack. The most important thing right now is that she's not in a lot of pain. A bit uncomfortable at times, but not hurting. She was a bit weak this morning, but some rest may help.
The Breiter family said the hospice staff has been wonderful. There are social workers and nurses that are working with Carol and the family members. Not only is this an important step for Carol's well-being, but it's been a huge assistance to the family, also.
Brian and Carol have both been blessed with such fantastic, large families. From everything Carol has told me about them, along with the kind people I have met on both sides, I couldn't imagine Carol having a better support group. Both the Steckers and the Breiters have bent over backwards to do whatever they can for these two and Dominic. Right now the Steckers have been keeping everyone well fed and the Breiters have been able to give Carol the warmth that she needs.
