Mom stayed unresponsive throughout the night but this morning when I was putting water on her lips her eyes opened up. She stayed that way for about an hour, not being able to speak but you could read her eyes.  She even winked at dad.  Taylor, one of our wonderful nurses, came today and checked in and helped us get mom freshened up.  She's back to being unresponsive but very serene. 

Dad and I have been on a "hunt" since last night, trying to find mom's wedding ring.  She removes her jewelry before she goes to sleep and hides it in a variety of different places.  We searched high and low ...  finally, about an hour ago we decided to go through her purse once more ... I opened up a tiny compartment in her wallet and there it was.  Mystery solved.  We would have been heartbroken if it had been lost.

John just left to go back to Seattle and it was very hard for him to say good-bye to mom.  They had a very special and close relationship and mom was always so very proud of him.  We are all grateful he was able to come down, and that mom knew he was here. 

Dad, Me & John
Right before he left.......

I want to thank Deacon Mike Early and his wife, Pat who came over and prayed over mom and with us last night.  I'm sure mom heard every word and was at peace and I know we were all comforted beyond words.
