The contractor is working on getting the electrician scheduled by early next week. That'll be a big day. The electrician will install all the appliances, light fixtures, outlets, and switches. What remains after that (crown molding, final cabinet pieces, paint, and installation of window treatments) can happen while I'm setting up my new work space and actually using it. I just might be in before the end of the month!

I need to give you another update on mom. She hasn't eaten since Sunday and has only taken in one or two sips of water. The decision was made today to no longer get her up for meals.
When mom stopped eating, she also stopped taking her meds that were crushed and hidden in food. She's now only on Ativan and Roxanol (morphine). Both are liquids dropped under her tongue.
At this rate, we've been told mom could continue 3-4 weeks since she's currently a healthy weight. Seeing her dropping pounds daily, losing color, and becoming more and more frail will kill my dad. Pray the end comes sooner.

So glad to see the kitchen coming along, but so sad that you all have to watch your mother fade. I'm sure they'll keep her comfortable, though. From the sounds of it, it is almost past time for her to go. It will be a blessing. Difficult, to be sure--but a blessing. Will be hardest on your dad. *love and hugs*
