Christene and I went to visit today, as did Phil and Dorothy. It doesn't look very good for Aunt Dee. They moved her to the comfort room which apparently is the final room in their process. She isn't eating, can't drink or swallow. We tried to at least moisten her lips and tongue but she is in significant discomfort. She can't really speak and to control the pain they have been injecting morphine. The problem with that is she reacts to the morphine and appears to have night mares. Bob, Betty and Gail were there as well. Very tough on Bob. Patrick has his operation Monday at Western hospital so it has been a significant strain on Bob and Betty. Not much we can do now on either front but wait and see and offer our continued love, support and prayers. Love to all, Jonathan, Christene and Alex. (Bob, had removed all of Dorinda's items from storage and had started to unseal them, there is a real treasure trove of art, she had done many drawings of family members, beautiful work)
