Figuring it all out one day at a time
Today has been a pretty frustrating day for a few reasons. Also, there are a few places where you can hear Karen screaming in the background. This is almost a spasm reaction where she will yell or cry out for no reason. There have been some days where she has done this for hours. Again, it is an involuntary thing that sometimes she doesn’t even realize she’s doing it. Thanks for your continued support.
Update. Since I recorded this I resolved our internet issues and solved the energy crisis.
A conversation with Karen’s cousin, Becky Robinson Garmon, about grief and good ways to help and encourage those experiencing it. We had a house full of people so pardon the background noise. Again, this is meant to be raw and unpolished, just like life.

Yesterday I decided to cut my trip short and come home early from Orlando. This is the story of the journey to get home to my wife, Karen. Her oxygen levels have been below normal and safe for the past 2 days and hospice care has been called in. She is still alert and interacting with all of us and still making jokes without using any words. She is comfortable and surrounded by family.
