My Mother went to Denver to see my Aunt Abbie (her older sister) last weekend. She said that while Abbie cannot talk well, or swallow easy, her mind is still sharp, when it comes to short term items, or things from the way past. Unfortunately, the problems with swallowing are very serious. Aunt Abbie also cannot walk, although she will tell you that she did walk some that day, with her walker. Um, I am not sure she still has a walker. Here are some pictures I found, and since I got a working scanner now, I wanted to share them. The top picture is my favorite one. It shows her spirit in full swing. The second is a dinner in Denver with my cousin Katie, her husband and two boys. My Mother was there as well, just not in this picture. The last is of my Mother and Aunt Abbie at the Denver airport in the mid-1990's.

Karen I'm sorry to hear your aunt is not doing well. I can certainly identify with what you are going through, I'm going through same thing myself. It's not easy when someone you love so much, health is failing and you know it won't get any better. I'm glad you are able to talk about it, it certainly does help.
I appreciate all of the kind comments both on this and the last post. All I can hope for is that the Hospice nurses will make sure she is in good spirits and not in that much pain.
Hi Karen, Mom seems to be feeling better since hospice care. She still struggles, but seems happier. I also love that top picture of Mom! Thank you for sharing them.
KT, I love that picture as well. I am glad to hear Aunt Abbie is doing better with the hospice care. I don't see a profile, so I still don't have your email address.
