UPDATE
July 2, 2008

I spoke with the nurses when I got up this morning. Jack had a restful night and had wanted a glass of buttermilk, one of his favorite Southern drinks. He drank about ¾ of a cup. He stopped eating yesterday so per the doctor will likely not last long now.

His Dr. said he had never seen anything quite like this before. Last evening when Dr. Kettyle checked on him, Jack told him that he woke him up (Jack’s voice is barely audible now) but thanked him for checking on him. Jack told him he had no pain and that he was comfortable.

Yesterday, Myra, Jack’s sister, and I were talking to him as we stood by his bed. He looked up and feebly said, “Double Trouble” and then laughed.

He is comfortable. He has had many people visiting and bidding him goodbye. He is content – his and our cups runneth over thanks be to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Love,
Carolyn and family
