Friday - January 20

Not much sleep last night as we heard the news that Dad was very ill with reports from the nursing home.    Ron, Bob and I were told that he may not survive the night.    This morning, we met for breakfast at Baricci's and I had a good chat with the doctor.    The end is near and they are keeping him as comfortable as possible.    Judi, our advocate spent the day at the hospital and had packed a bag to stay overnight!    What a dear.    They are getting lots of snow, so we certainly didn't want her out on the roads.

We all sat on the boat discussing travel plans and Judi called and we kids got to say "Hi" to Dad.    He said "Hi" and then his usual humming.    I was very happy to hear his voice.    No eating today.    We are praying for peace and continued comfort.   So ironic that the boys and I are together down here in Marathon.

We had lunch at The Stuffed Pig and then Ron, Vicki, Bob and Linda left for Lake Worth and are spending the night at Philip and Annette's.

Jane and Joe came on board and we took the boat out - needed fuel and Mark donned all his scuba gear and went underwater to clean Catrina's bottom.

Joe and Jane

I know Dad is in good hands with the care of the nurses/aides and Judi right beside him.   
 God bless them all.

Bye for now....

Pat: Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Spoke with Michael about this at Drew's ball game earlier today so knew of your Dad's illness. He is in good hands I am sure and especially with Judi at his side I know you are grateful for Judi's help and compassion. She is certainly a dear, dear person. Love, Judy
