Another Marty update

Sad news: The visiting nurse was just out at Judy's house again. In addition to the pneumonia, Marty has congestive heart failure. After consulting with the doctor, all have agreed to suspend curative care and focus on keeping Marty comfortable, which primarily involves increasing his dosages of cough medicine and/or morphine as needed.

Ronnie, several years ago I was in the hospital room as we waited for my sister to pass. Keeping her comfortable, surrounding her with love. That's what it sounds like is being done for Marty. Love and comfort.
