Hey gang... As you know, GG's at Karin's. Hospice nurse assessed, and after a rough night, it looks as though GG may not make it through the weekend.
Mom (Carolyn) came home from work on the news - emotions took over. "I can't concentrate," she said. We're going over to Karin's soon... and will relay to you if visits will be possible. I'm glad she's home.
Here are the text messages that between to the SIBS (GG's seven kids).
Karin Kemp Kitahara
There's been a big change overnight...they told us that when people are in a place of comfort, this might happen. Her hospice RN came to see her this morning, she felt like the time is now for people to be with her as it will most likely be this weekend. Wanted to let the sibs know first.

Thank you.

Speechless
We are trying to change tickets.
Praying for her to be filled with peace
What sweetness to know mom feel comforted and loved.
It sure is. Thank you Karin for this gift to her.
Amanda (Biola grad) the Hospice admitting nurse told us yesterday that this often happens when close to the end and goes home to where the patient is loved and at home, the process hastens. Mom fit that--been so sweet to have her here at Karin's. She's had sweet Christian nurses that are so caring.
