Jeanette and Marianne are here. Dr. Patella just left. The goal at this point is to keep Peggy heavily sedated; there is no medication that will address her abdominal pain. If she's awake, she's in pain.
Dr. Patella has recommended that a hospice nurse be here 24/7, starting later this afternoon, so if Peg wakes up agitated, confused and in pain there will be someone watching over her and staying on top of the medication, even if it's in the middle of the night.
Peggy so wanted to be there for Zoë's birthday on Thursday. It breaks my heart to write this, but she's leaving us very soon. Dr. Patella says it's much better for Peg and for all of us that she doesn't suffer any longer.
