Time is running out. Tim has been very sick, lost a lot of weight and his condition is rapidly deteriorating. He's very weak and sleeps a lot of the time. He gets frequent visits from the hospice nurse, and she has reviewed all the options, but there isn't anything more to be done. While we truly appreciate all your good thoughts and prayers, the hospice team recommends that we limit visitors. Tim has so much enjoyed seeing all his old friends and colleagues, but at this point visitors pretty much wear him out. Even short visits. So, please keep us in your prayers and hearts. We're fortunate to have a wonderful circle of friends who have been there for us whenever we need anything.
