Nearing the end

This is Brian with another update on Wendi. I'm afraid I have devastating news to report. Her condition has deteriorated faster than any of us thought. She only has a few more days to live, maybe less. She is unconscious, and it is unlikely that she will regain consciousness. Hospice is managing her care right now. She will be spending her remaining time in the hospital; she is not coming home. All we can do at this point is try to keep her as comfortable as we can. She cannot eat or drink on her own, and she is not receiving nutrition through her IV, since that would feed the cancer more than it would feed her body. It's only a matter of time now. This is an absolutely devastating situation; I truly thought she would be coming home to recover from the surgery. I had no idea any of this would happen. If you want to come and see her, it's probably best to do it as soon as you can. She probably won't know you're in the room, since she's unconscious.

I wish I had better news... I really do. I'm still in shock over how quickly everything has happened. My only consolation is that she's sleeping peacefully, and she's not in any pain. All we can do now is wait. I'll post another update when something changes.
