Not so good night, good day

Susan was restless through the night with short periods of sleep. Shortness of breath and pain being the issues. Small amounts of morphine are now being given through the iv and that really helps with the shortness of breath. But as a result, she slept pretty good through the morning and was given a pass to go home for the late afternoon into the evening. Our children were going to go bowling with Uncle Bob and Aunt Jeanne, and Susan wanted to go and watch them bowl. So she did. Most of us had not bowled in years so it was pretty comical. After that we went to our home in Dalton Gardens, where a big family dinner was planned. We dressed up and had a pretty good feast put on by our daughters. Shared memories of Susan, she shared some too, the best she could. She had a delightful time and we made it special for her. She actually had quite a bit of energy through the evening including a short nap. Back to the hospital by ten and she went right to bed. She got her usual meds for the night and should sleep pretty sound. She is comfortable and managing the pain. Thanks to all the good care at Kootenai Medical Center, that includes RN's Joi, Carol and Cindy. God had been so faithful to bring us caring nurses. Time to go to sleep, good night.
