The Vorlon wife has an uncle, in his 80’s that appears to be near the end of his life. This weekend his brother flew up from Florida to visit him and the brother and his female friend stayed with us. The two brothers are quite different. The one that is ill never married and was quiet and rather reclusive. The brother from Florida has the gift of gab. He is much more outgoing and easily engages everyone he meets in conversation.
We spent most of today at the nursing home where they are giving him Hospice car. He doesn’t appear to be suffering. Although he’s not in a coma, he appears to be sleeping and is uncommunicative. He has a living will and has stipulated not extraordinary measure be taken. The doctors had wanted to install a feeding tube, he not eating, but his living will has that crossed off.
Now it’s just a matter of time.
