Sunday, April 13th Update

6 pm: I talked with Mitch today. He called to let me know that the nursing staff thought it might be Woodle's last day. His blood pressure was very low and he was fairly still. Mitch is heading back down tomorrow as soon as he can to be with the family and lend his medical knowledge. BA is there along with Woodle's Mom, I am not sure of others. Hospice has been involved since last Monday. Mitch says they are able to offer hands on care for him with about 5-6 staff plus the care he gets from the nursing staff. This is a program that offers so much relief for families and care givers.

8:30 pm: I talked to Woodle's mom just now. She said she got the call at 5-6 am that they needed to come up to the Hospital. BA and she were there to hold his hands, but being true to himself, Woodle pushed them off. Still being stubborn. I told Margaret that I had a dream about Woodle early this morning that he was more his self, happy and feeling much better. We both think it is part of his transposition from this world. Let's pray for his comfort and peace. She also said his BP is 50/24 which is very low, but that his pulse is 100 and temp is 98.2. The nurse told he has a strong heart, so that could keep him going. She also said he has not moved since about noon. Please send your love, prayers and peace to his family, esp those able to be with Woodle as he passes from the physical world. If she remembers, she said she would call me. I will get a blog posted ASAP.

Feel free to call me if you wish. I will be traveling to Dallas Monday, returning Tuesday, but will have my cell. 830-238-7667 hm, 830-377-2747 cell, 830-238-4631wk.

Thank you to everyone that has lent support, made your way to Houston and offered up your prayers.
Allison
