Jacqueline and her brothers and her father's girlfriend, Wendy, talked with the doctors today. They advised that Gene be taken off the ventilator. This is consistent with his Advance Directive and the family's wishes.
Jacqueline's headed over to the hospital to be with her father while they take him off the ventilator. She'll be the only family member present with him when he passes.
Keep her in your hearts and thoughts.
David, I'm so glad she's coming home to you and Matilda to love her.
David, I'm so glad she's coming home to you and Matilda to love her.
I will ply her with hugs and creature comforts.
All my love to JZ, and all of you, too.
Universe, please back off of JZ now, that's quite enough.
In small but good news: I saw the first butterfly of spring today!
It is a good portent.
Matilda is currently doing her science homework.
In an effort to use the pandemic as a teachable moment her teacher has assigned her a whole slew of information about viruses and discussing whether they are a life form or not.
A little *too* timely if you ask me.
So much love and strength to all of you, David.
I'm glad that JZ can be with him, but so very sorry that this is happening at all. Love to you all.
