Day 4 - Mom's still alive

Mom is still alive. She slept last night with the oxygen mask on. She really hates it, so one knows she needed it badly in order to tolerate it.

She is resting comfortably.

I, on the other hand, am sick. I have a horrible cough, with congestion in my lungs and throat.

So, I told the nurse not to stop by (she doesn't need to get sick), and probably will tell the health aide the same thing.

Later

I'm headed back to my position on the sofa, outside Mom's bedroom.
