Mare had a difficult night. Maybe that was because i was her night angel again. But she woke up early am to complain of difficulty breathing again. When this happens, she is very calm and matter of fact. I think that helps me in helping her because she remains so composed about the whole thing. I had to give her medicine 3 times in about 3 hours. This is unusual and she slept well into the late am. Tabitha and Madison came back to check on their Mare and Kathy was back up to love on her sister and me. That allowed me to get out and play a little tennis. Kathy and Gina have both been very diligent in spending time with their sister. They have spent the night several times to help us out with coverage.



Later in the afternoon, Lisa from across the street came over and mare wanted to get out of bed and get her hair washed. Apparently, she has a hot date tomorrow and wanted to look good for it. Kathy Larsen came by just in time so the two Kathy's, Lisa and I gently got mare out of bed and into her chair for the first time in 2 weeks. We used her battery and inverter for the first time. Mare was mobile! However, It was difficult for mare and was quite painful. She has moved so little in two weeks that any big move is going to cost her. Once into the chair, she very much enjoyed the hair washing and especially the brushing from Lisa and hitting just the right spot with the brush :) Brian fed mare her Popsicle tonight.


I am mares lone night angel again. May she have a peaceful and restful sleep.
