We stayed at the show a while, but did leave a little early and went to visit mom-in-law. She's in a very nice hospice house now - her room is actually a suite, with a separate room for my father-in-law so he can get some sleep - with amazing around the clock nursing staff. They finally got her pain under control, but she's started having seizures. The GREAT thing about yesterday? A colleague of my mom-in-law went to some mucky-mucks at the University of Washington, and talked them into giving mom-in-law her PhD (she had been working on her thesis) - having that velvet cowl placed around her neck and hearing "doctor" before her name brought the biggest smile to her face. She had been working so hard for that.
My stepson opted not to come with us, because he wants to remember grandma "the way she was" - this was a very good choice..... she didn't look good at all...
