I write the blog early this evening because Jan is asleep and will probably remain sleeping for the rest of the day and night.
Several days of "draining", including today, have left her
extremely fatigued and needing to sleep. The nurse reported that Jan's liver is shutting down, and we are almost at the point where no amount of draining will work to manage the excess fluid spilling into the abdomen.
We had a family meeting today and opened our hearts to each other sharing sadness, sorrow, love, hope and tears. We know that the end appears to be near....We don't know the day or the hour, but we are praying for a painless, peaceful transition.
We thank you for the Grace and strength of your prayers.

I have been enriched reading through this blog but not as enriched as my life has been for knowing Jan and working with her at Desert Valley. Her life has enriched all who have known her. I know her unending smile has been missed around here!
Thank you for sharing your experience through this contact. My prayers go to your entire family. You are a strength and a great example to all.
