Back home again

Leisa's vital signs a good, her blood is all fixed up. She remains a bit confused and has trouble putting some thoughts together. We're having a Hospice consult this week.

The doc thinks further treatment is not necessary. We'll keep her as comfortable as possible and surrounded by family and friends. Please come visit but don't expect to stay more than a few minutes. A few other tips; don't ask her how she's feeling...she feels extremely tired and in some pain. Talk to her as you would if you saw her on the street. She hates the "poor, poor leisa" tone of voice and it scares her. Keep it upbeat. We can also do without suggestions for looking into the latest experimental treatments, herbal remedies, and mystic shamans dealing peyote buttons.

One month, two months...who knows. Leisa has spent her illness wanting to know essentially nothing of her disease or prognosis so let's keep it that way. Thanks.


We would be in such trouble without all of you. Thank you.

Jeff
