Hospital?

Lydia is not doing well. She was too weak to take chemo this past Wednesday and seems to grow weaker by the day. Mentally, as Charlie's sister put it, "Lydia is not there anymore, Lydia is gone." She no longer speaks, refuses to eat or drink most of the time, and is unable to move without help. Tomorrow (Sunday) we are going to call the doctor to see if we need to hospitalize her. We want to keep her home, but we are just not able to get her to eat or drink enough to keep her hydrated and fed. She weighs no more than 100 pounds now. She does not, however, appear to be in any pain. Thank You for this, God.

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain thee. Psalm 55:22
