Mom will receive a pain pump. It can be pressed every 6 minutes. Every hour she can get a new wave of pain medicine. Hopefully, this steady stream of pain relief will grant her much physical peace. Mom will remain in the bed she has now. We were told it might better serve her needs. We are fine with that. The thought of her bed transfer gave us some anxiety. As long as she rests peacefully, we are content.
Just now, I gave her some 'ice chips', tiny cubed crushed ice. She was very grateful and said 'Thank you' over and over again. Jennifer will spend the night.
Thanks to Cousin Belinda and Stage. Thank you Mrs. Flugence for your constant support, near or away. Also, special thanks to Father Arceneaux for coming and praying with us all. Much gratitude to Michele from Hospice for her diligence and compassion.

Hello,
You don't know me but we are cousins. Your grandfather T-Curt and my dad were 1st cousins.
I just read your whole blog and was so moved I had to comment. What a moving and lovely tribute to your beautiful mom. I always thought she had a voice of an angel. I know she and T-Curt are rocking the heavenly choir together. I hope they are singing "The Our Father and Hail Mary" in French up in heaven. I know my dad(Claude Castille) is also in attendance because he loved to hear T-Curt sing. When my dad was ill your grandmother visited him. Her visit was much needed and she was one of the first to visit with us after his passing.
All my love and prayers,
Leslie Castille-Davis
