This morning I asked about John, and Elmdea replied,
" Hospice is continuing to be a huge blessing! Their ability (and knowledge) with pain meds is helping John be more comfortable.
He’s been able to read a little and is now doing some limited email and FB.
He’s continuing to work with the social worker and the chaplain, who both support and challenge him.
I’m working with an anticipatory grief counselor, which helping me, and therefore John. "
I replied ,
" Hi, Elmdea, and thank you ever so much for updating on our good friend and yourself . So grateful for that news. Please let John know that his PCA family continues to hold him in their thoughts. Blessings. "
John wrote this himself today,, he is a courageous man. Bless.
