This evening (Thursday, 8/14) I came home to a voice message from South Austin
Hospital informing me that Dorothy Reesor died earlier today. I have not been
able to reach the Reesors at home yet by telephone. If anyone wants to huddle
for plans to support our friends through this time, give me a call at
512-295-5410. I'll be up a while yet tonight and will be home tomorrow
evening. I'll try to check messages throughout the day.
"Whether we live or die, we are in the hands of our Creator." May God give
comfort and guidance to the family over the next several days and weeks.

>> Helen,
>> Thanks for your message. Some background- about three years ago we

>> living facility one mile from our house. The move was because of a
>> progressive dementia which required a monitered living situation.
>> Last summer she transferred within the same facility to the memory
>> care ward.
>> Dorothy did not recover well post op; she developed pneumonia and has
>> not regained 'cognition'. Yesterday morning we made the decision to
>> stop TPN and to stop all medications including antibiotics) except
>> pain and antianxiety medications. Hospice of Austin is faciliating
>> her care, we hope to be able to move her to the Christopher Center
>> (home-like hospice facility) by tomorrow.
>>
>> My parents are on their way here, they should arrive tomorrow evening.
>> We would appreciate it if you could spread the news to the church.
>> Please pray for a swift end to her pain.
>>
>> our thanks,
>> Darlene and Nevitt (and Sarah and Ethan)
