Marita slept peacefully through the night with a break at two. She had pain meds today only at ten and one, yet she continued to rest comfortably through the day and evening. However she also has become less responsive to our attempts at engagement. Her heart continues strong but her body is signalling that the end is near.

Dan came over late last night when it appeared that things might be changing. He was set to be here all day today. It is good to have him here overnight.

Jim once again came in from Warrenton to help out all day. There wasn't much to do as Marita barely budged even during Sherry's examining. Sherry provided more guidance on what to expect as conditions progress.

Chaya came after Sherry left and sat with us until dinnertime.

Vanessa and the children were here for dinner and stayed until Russ arrived from NJ.

Russ brought some food and drink for tomorrow but we started on part of it before going to bed.
