Floyd & Susan Visit Marilyn
Susan and I were out visiting Marilyn last Thursday and again today. Last Thursday we ran into her sister Dee. Dee had gotten to town right in behind Margo and Claire on their visit. My mother, Helen, went with us today too. Chris has steadily been up to see her and Doyle and Violet stopped by yesterday. WOW…Marilyn has had a lot of visitors in the last 10 days. It has been great to see her and to see she has so many people that love her and still help brighten her days by visiting her.
Marilyn has been pretty tired both times we have been up to see her. Today we were only able to awaken her for a few minutes. The nurse told us she had been sleeping most of the day and it was related to simple fatigue. She hadn’t been sedated with pain pills; she was simply very tired today.
We will be visiting her again Tuesday before we catch our flight back to San Diego. I will be back August 21st through August 31st to help my mother (Helen) while she recovers from her knee replacement surgery scheduled for August 20th. I will be stopping in to visit with Marilyn and will keep everyone posted through the blog.
Thanks for everyone’s visits, prayers and support. It is great knowing so many people care. We know Marilyn feels the love.
