My wife appeared to have reached the end as of the day before yesterday, and yesterday offered limited hope. But she has rallied and in fact she ate her Thanksgiving dinner, including turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, and gravy as well as a bun. Just nibbled what we hand fed her but she had something of an appetite! It's a temporary reprieve, of course, but it was still good to see. I snuck away to dump trash (missed trash day and so had to schlepp it to the homestead) and thought I'd take this moment to update you all.
My new laptop has had the cursor disappear, and also it's charger doesn't work. I'm going to take the one from my old computer and see if it works. Maybe. If so I can update you all with a big more frequency. If not I'll have to wait for cyber Monday to end to go for a new charger. Oh, and someone has to figure out how to get the cursor back (it was something I did, I'm sure.)
At any rate Cathy has that faraway look in her eye, like she is no longer seeing this world. It's heartbreaking to see her pass like this, but she's at least peaceful and we have her out of pain.
We are about to have a snowstorm and so I won't be back for a few days so this will probably be my last entry for a short bit. Please bear with me; I'll be back in the saddle in due course.
Thank you all for the prayers and concern. I am hanging in there but some days it's easier than others. Day before yesterday was a real bear.
God be with you all!
Tim

So glad to hear Cathy enjoyed a bit of Thanksgiving dinner and is peaceful, that little rally must have been a precious moment for you both. Thank you for the update, Tim, and take all the time you need with the snowstorm coming.
When I read your post, I wanted to save the good news in a gentle way, so I copied the text into Alight Motion on my PC, added a soft fade-in background with warm candlelight glow, slow zoom on the words about her appetite returning, and a peaceful piano track that fades out quietly. Took just 6 minutes, exported 4K with no watermark, and now it is a short memory clip I can rewatch whenever I pray for you both. for more information Click Here.

Tim, so thankful for this update , seeing Cathy enjoy even a few bites of Thanksgiving dinner is a huge gift. Holding you both close in prayer for peace, strength, and more of these little rallies.
On a practical note: when you get the new laptop sorted, I have been using Audo AI to clean up voice memos and quick updates I record for family , it removes all the room echo and background noise in literally 10 seconds, and the voice comes out crystal clear. Makes sharing these moments feel a little more together even when we are apart.
