Betty's condition continued to deteriorate today. Her kidneys are shutting down and her breathing is extremely labored.
It is Betty's wish to have no life support. We all gathered tonight at 10:00 at Jewish Hospital to say goodbye. Devona started a hymn and we spent about a half hour singing to her. Raymond joined in. Karoline's son, Karson, brought a stuffed animal to sleep with Grandma Boley tonight. He put a special bow in its hair.
Raymond and I came home about 1:00 AM. We will return to her bedside in the morning. Sharon, Dennis and Jill stayed at her bedside tonight. The hospital provided extra rooms for family members so we could take turns napping.
I can't tell you what a comfort it is for us to have had these months together to prepare. We are very sad, but also very grateful that she will be spared any further pain.
I will post as information is available.
The Boley Family
