Things are Changing

I don't know how start this update without being matter of fact and so I am just going to let it be that...

Ginny is declining.  Hospice care has been increased and I am home.  Ginny has continued to lose weight and is sleeping 18 hours of each 24 hour cycle.

She is still having wonderful moments each day with great conversation but those times are less and less. Her movement is very limited and spends most days at rest in bed or on the couch.

If you are one of her many friends with whom she has had a regular email exchanges, you will have noticed that those responses have not come in these past days.  I will do my best to get in and try to reply to people individually. I will be honest and say that that is not my first priority and so if you would like to continue to keep Ginny updated and communicate, I will read her your messages.  I ask that you email me directly please and I will share your messages.  I will apologize in advance for not responding to each message as she would.  klindbloom@gmail.com.

There has not been a "timeline" discussed, but the teams are all in agreement that we are moving into the last leg of the journey.

Again, I am am so sorry to send this message this way, I just don't know how to do this any other way.

If you are a local friend,  please contact me before visiting.  There are relatively few waking hours and with all the hospice visits and care visits we need to stagger things. 507-438-2502

Love

Update (Ordway)

I apologize for not updating in a couple of weeks.  We have been working at getting back into a routine after the surgery and hospital stays. Ginny continues to struggle with pain and we continue to work with her Palliative team to get things figured out.  The pelvis fracture is indeed a problem and it has certainly slowed her down.

Gin is enjoying her hospice nurse who is visiting once a week at thispoint.  She has 19 pets including four dogs, five cats, rats, guinea pigs, a python and a pig named Frances.  A great fit as far and interests for Ginny.

Will not wait so long to update next.
