Home Sweet Home

 Diane spent the night with mom last night and I arrived at the hospital just before 6:00 am.  Mom was very weak and not able to respond much. I had a good talk with the nurse and right after Beth and Aunt Jinnie arrived the doctor walked in. We asked him if mom could be taken home  and were relieved when he told us that was very possible. After discussing everything we made the decision to bring mom home from the hospital. I left for home as Dr. Hoerr was due to come. Beth reported they had removed the NG tube and we were now allowed to let mom have something to eat. This is the first time since Sunday she has had anything by mouth. Beth started with small pieces of ice chips. Ruth arrived to relieve Beth. Ruth sent the picture below with the words, "she ATE IT ALL!"

Mom was looking MUCH better.

Once we decided things started happening quickly. The medical equipment was ordered and delivered shortly after 4:00 pm.  Mom will be transported tomorrow morning. Ruth is spending the night tonight, I'll go up early and follow them back to the house. Rachel had to meet the man delivering the equipment as the truck showed up right about the time Dr. Hoerr arrived to ultrasound Whiskey and Indy and draw blood on Lola for her Coggins test.  Both mares were confirmed in foal. Whiskey is due Aug 15th, 2022 and Indy is due Aug 18th, 2022. Both mares were bred to Evan. Whiskey's owner was sent a text announcing the pregnancy with the picture below: 

They will pick her up Saturday morning. By the time Dr. Hoerr finished Rachel had mom's house and the equipment all ready for her. Ruth reported that mom has some visitors and sent the picture below:

Reporting she is still awake.  Amazing how the thought of going home helps. Nolan sent the link below. These are his friends. They lost their 5 year old daughter and don't have the money for the funeral and burial. I know times are hard but if anyone can spare even just a few dollars to help this family it would be greatly appreciated. IF interested in helping click HERE. Below is a little more about Annie their 5 year old daughter. Annie went to be with Jesus on Sunday September 26, 2021 at 8am surrounded by her loving family. Her family asked her if she was ready to meet Jesus and run, dance, sing, and jump to which she opened her eyes and gave a big nod yes. She is whole, healed, and free now.

Annie was a fighter from the moment she entered this world. She was born with a congenital heart defect and underwent multiple open heart surgeries before receiving her new heart in 2019. She thrived with her new heart. But earlier this year, Annie was diagnosed with post transplant lymphoproliferative disorder and the cancer was in her lymph nodes and kidneys. She fought and started chemo and it started to look hopeful. But complications kept arising until there was nothing more that could be done. Annie was comfortable in her last days surrounded by so many people that loved her.

If you knew Annie, you know it was her way or the highway. She had sass and sweetness all in one little body. She loved Frozen, her kitties Olive and Lucy, being a big sister to Amelia and Makenna, her one million stuffed animals, her family, painting her nails, playing outside, beads, painting, and so much more.

Please consider donating to help cover all the expenses associated with funeral/transportation/burial costs. Also costs for living expenses to help Cara, Matt, and their two girls through this difficult time as Cara and Matt are not working right now. Costs are increased due to Cara and Matt buying three plots and Annie being over state lines in Missouri and transporting her back to Illinois. The funeral and burial cannot take place until the funds are raised. Thank you for your prayers and condolences. The Lane family appreciates all the support and can't thank you enough.
