My Aunt Bridget called me this evening, mostly to catch up, but also to give me an update on Mom’s condition. Kate and Bridget have been amazing and have made this process so much better for Andy and I. Mom is in good hands, and I sleep better knowing that Kate will be there in the morning with Coffee, and Bridget in the evening before she goes to bed. Its a debt I doubt I’ll ever be able to repay, so I’ll chalk it up for the grace that it is.
Jaundice is definitely setting in and Mom is wiped out. She’s sleeping a lot more and is sometimes having difficulty staying awake. At this point, I’m asking for no more visits. If there are any questions please call me directly (408) 218-9329. The visits are really taking a toll and have begun to effect her quality of life.
I know this is a difficult thing for me to ask of all of you. Your love and support of Mom and the family have been overwhelming. Please know that your kind thoughts, visits and prayers have been appreciated beyond words, but I’m now requesting that people stay away and let her go home.
We’ll continue to keep the blog updated with news as it develops. Please keep the prayers coming. We’re going to need it in the coming weeks.

I just wanted to say your mother Eileen wass huge inspiration to me. I meet her this past summer when I was an intern for Hospice. During my three month internship Eileen turned into my mentor and I can't thank her enough for that. When I returned home in May I felt really lost and terrified about my future. Eileen gave me advice and she made me realize I will be a successful person. Your mother has such a big heart and I am lucky to have met her.
love,
Heather
