our new normal...

Over the last few days things have declined for Ian. He has not eaten in 4 days, drinking some, and sleeping a lot. We have had multiple conversations with Gilchrist. We feel we are at the beginning of the end. Our goal as it always has been is to keep him comfortable, which he seems to be. Becca will be sticking with her routine until we feel she needs to be home. As for Brian and me, we are planning on taking work one day at a time. We have known for years this time would come, however., it is more difficult than we thought it would be. I will update when I can. Thank you all for being a part of our village.
