I was able to visit Lans again today. Shortly after waking up she pointed the ceiling and shook her head. Seems there was a little accident with her "good" food. Of course there was the usual diahhrea/bodily fluid jokes to follow (because I am juvenille and will do anything to make her smile inside). . .
But I laughed even harder when this picture was sent to my phone from Pam with the caption "OH NO!!! Not again!" View splattering on the wall behind Lans. Tooo funny. I feel bad for the next patient - I am certain they will pray for transfer to another Hospice that looks less painful :)
My sis-in-laws Jamie and Lans. My bros have the BEST taste in women / friends for me.
Melanie was also there. She worked with Lans. I met her at the car wash and was happy to spend a little more time with her today. She is so helpful and seems very willing and capable to stay with Lans and help during the day - Nice that our little RN has some wonderful RN buddies!
And at last, she misses her expression. . . so I helped her smile, like she has helped me ever since I met her. :)
The missing word is "lame" - "sick of having one lame expression on my face. How increadibly frustrating to have such an amazing personality trapped in an uncooperative body. The charm I sent should get to you soon. It's a wishbone charm and it's a good luck charm to help your wishes come true. I hope there is a miracle and her greatest wish comes true!

ReplyDeleteI am a Christian minister, along with my best friend, who is also a minister. We were advised of Ilana's situation this week and have been in prayer night and day, with many tears. Ilana's need has been foremost on our hearts and minds. We speak the blessing and strength of the Lord to each family member and friend, to each one that cares for her physical needs. "Ilana, be covered with the grace and strength of the Lord, spirit, soul and body, in Jesus name. May He do far more for you than you've imagined. May His love and power rest upon your faithful husband and everyone that has been there for you." We are continuing in prayer for each of you. Our God is a God of wonder. There is nothing too hard for Him. Angels attend you, the Father God is very aware of you. All of the prayers for you have been logged in Heaven. He is affectionately watching over you. We pray for heartfelt peace each moment and day. We send you love and are asking for a miracle for YOU. Rev Alena(TX) and Rev Shaundra (OH)
