Mary stopped interacting with us early this morning. That was an indication that the hepatic encephalopathy had finally penetrated her brain and she had lost her cognitive functions. The doctors adjusted her pain medications from lydicain with fentanyl boosters to morphine which has given her much comfort and relaxation.
We have had a very nice day with almost all the family members assembled here at Stanford. The spiritual counselor stopped in and we arranged a very nice bedside ceremony providing blessing and guidance for Mary as she passes from this life.
I assembled this incomplete montage of pictures of Mary as we prepared for the surgery a year ago. If you would like to slow them down, click on any image and it will take you to the photo website where you can browse at your leisure.
