Still fighting

Jeff is still fighting. Early this morning his breathing pattern changed dramatically. He is barely hanging on but his strong heart is still beating. My family surrounded me and my kids today with unimaginable love. Jeff's family also came to be with him. We sat around him and laughed and told all kinds of stories. We touched him and rubbed is arms and legs and even snuggled him. His room is full of life and love, not gloom and doom. It's how he would want it. Peace and calmness are with us all. The nurse told me this morning that it would probably be today. However, those of you that know Jeff the best would also know that: #1 He doesn't like to be told what to do and #2 He is always late and being on time never mattered to him. So there. God is still obviously in charge. Thank goodness. He is comfortable and asleep. His face is completely relaxed. He is so beautiful and I am blessed to be here with him. Leta
