Ever make a decision on faith one day and then question it the next and then be so grateful you just went on in faith? That's where we're at. Cicily went to sleep happy last night. But at midnight she woke up crying and grasping for anything to help her. Her eyes wouldn't focus, she wouldn't respond to us talking to her, and she was obviously not "with it".
So Chris went to get her usual lately, tylenol pm and ibuprofen. Then I realized, that hospice gave us morphine and lorazepam (for anxiety/seizures) to give under her tongue whenever she needed. This behavior was new and seemed perfect for immediate morphine and lorazepam.
It worked and she slept well until 4 am when she woke up the same way. Morphine/lorazepam to the rescue again. Then she slept until 12:30 in the afternoon.
I love this picture even though it's a little sad. Cis usually only sleeps flat on her back with her arms to her sides, or on her tummy. She's been sleeping in our bed since Tuesday night as we all sleep better that way (thank goodness for King beds!) and I love how she sleeps on her side and reaches out her arms for her Mommy. This morning she literally had her arm wrapped all around my neck.

I've been in the hospital since Monday afternoon. lorazepam has been my hero several times this week. -B
I love that she's reaching for you and telling you she loves you. She is a sweet sweet girl that spreads happiness.
