Linda's condition has changed rather dramatically over the last three days, and it is not for the better. She is confused a good bit of the time. Though she still knows who you are, she is confused about many things. She is also sleeping quite a bit and experiencing fairly frequent headaches.
There are at least three possibilities for this muddled state. It could be her blood sugar, which is running quite high. It was, in fact, 476 after breakfast (we check 2 hours after each meal), though it was "down" to 260 after lunch. Normal blood sugar runs below 100. The second possible explanation for her confusion is pain medicine. The third possibility is the tumor. After speaking with doctor, pharmacist, and hospice nurse, this last possibility seems to be the most likely.
If that is the case, we have entered a new phase. We are praying and hoping that we will, as we have a few times before, be blessed with a rally. During this time, Linda's praise for the Lord has increased, if anything. I do not think she is aware that her cognitive functions are slipping as much as they are. Do not think she is completely oblivious or unaware, but there is no question that she is not where she was even three days ago.
Even so, God is good - all the time. All the time . . .
