Feb. 24th Update on Al
Hello my dear friends. I have been very busy. I have had too many days without help so it is slowing me and my energy down. I am more tired. Al is continuing to get worse. His fever is trying to stay high even through Tylenol.

Feb. 24th Update on Al
Hello my dear friends. I have been very busy. I have had too many days without help so it is slowing me and my energy down. I am more tired. Al is continuing to get worse. His fever is trying to stay high even through Tylenol.
Last night he scared the crap out of me. I tried to turn him over on his side. What I saw is what scared me. His half side of his face was white dots. I mean dots all over, every pore was filled. His ear was covered in white dots and down inside his ear.
He was able to talk just enough to let me know his throat hurt and his other ear was beginning to hurt. I looked inside his mouth and his tongue was a full dose of white polka dots.
It was late evening but I called Hospice anyways. Not wanting to come out, they were not sure what it was, but they did advise me of something to give him until they arrived this morning.
So all night I was up with Al fighting his fever and trying to keep him comfortable. He finally drifted off to sleep around 3am, then so did I, but was woken up at 7 by a text. I got up, realizing that my day was not going to be a good one to start and also I knew the shower gal would be here in one hour.
I decided to take a shower to help wake up. I am too old to go for a whole day with only four hours. The nurse did come this morning and I learned that Al is really fighting a fever now because the MSA is just running rampant inside Al. It is so bad that it is seeping out his pores.
What I was seeing last night was the illness itself. I felt at that moment I was going to be ill, and I could only imagine how my poor brother must be suffering. My day drug by and it went pretty slow. I never did take a nap but I hope to go to bed earlier tonight.
This evening Al was watching a movie of Laurel and Hardy.
I decided to take a couple of photos of Rhino, our cat and I did one sketch tonight. I thought I would share with you also what I did.
Please continue to pray for Al and me. I had a panic attack today but thanks to a dear friend online I was able to keep it at bay. I think I am just plain exhausted and I crave sleep. Hugs to you all and thanks for being patient with me for my lack of writing quite as often.

Stop
Oh that I may stop in my tracks
Not looking back
No looking forward
Not saying a word
Just breathe deep
No eyes that weep
I will look all around
From heavens to grounds
I will give thanks for today
Get on my knees and pray
For I have had a chance
To live love and dance
And hopefully I will
Live another day still
And remember to say
Thank-you for one more day.

Strangers In The Night
Strangers
We met as strangers
I was sitting at the bar
He walked in and tipped his hat
We left together
He made love to me all night long
In the morning I awoke and he was gone
Was I dreaming, I rubbed my eyes
Or was this a stranger in the night.
