A little bit of everything:

This weekend we had a little bit of everything: sunshine, rain, snow, General Conference, family members visiting, flowers delivered, food delivered. All in all, a pretty good weekend. I didn't like waking up to snow cover this morning but it is all melted now. We are suppose to get back into the 50s this week, we shall see. The flowers are beautiful . . . thanks Helen and Layne, very thoughtful and they did brighten mom's day. Drake and Lijuan came up to see mom and then Lijuan best friend from China called and said she'd be in Los Angeles so Drake booked Lijuan a flight from SLC to LA so he had to drive her back to SLC. Lijuan is so excited to see her friend - they will fly on to NYC and Drake will connect up with them this coming weekend in Las Vegas. Drake drove back up to Rexburg and brought Samantha with him. Cameron (Robin's youngest son) drove over from Boise to see g'ma. They were able to visit for about an hour. Mom was in and out of consciousness all weekend long. She knows that everyone came to see her but she slept a lot. We had conference on TV so she could listen but she slept a lot. We are still giving her oral meds - she chokes on them and chokes on the water but we're not yet ready to switch over to liquid medications. Once we switch, the liquid meds will keep mom asleep 24/7 and we will not have anymore lucid times. We don't want to switch too soon. We are still getting the pain medication down her with water. Hospice will help us decide when we need to make the switch. The hospice nurse is now coming in Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Her aids are still coming MWF to help with bathing, sheet changing, etc. Hospice has been great to work with and have provided great help and counceling.
