		<description><![CDATA[
My mother died tonight around 11:40.  My brother and sister and a close family friend were with her at the time.  She was comfortable in bed at home.
As I knew this was coming, I should have written a proper tribute to her before now, but I have not.  Now, I do not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#039;t written anything since my mother and family got home from England.  That was ten days ago.
I can&#039;t cover everything that has happened since then.  My mother is still at home, in a hospital bed with 24/7 home health workers helping out.  She is heavily sedated on morphine, Fentanyl, and lorazepam. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#039;t written in a few days, but it was not because there was nothing happening.  My mother&#039;s lower GI obstruction sorted itself out on Wednesday, so she spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday basically pooping.  She was released from the hospital Saturday morning and went to tea with the rest of the family [...]]]></description>

The word from the CT is that my mother&#039;s cancer has spread to her kidneys and liver.  It may have spread elsewhere and this may be a large part of [...]]]></description>

They found their way to their rented apartment (flat) in London and settled in for the first day to get over the jetlag and find food, etc.

		<description><![CDATA[CMU Professor Randy Pausch has died.  You&#039;ve probably heard by now.
We all owe a debt of thanks to Professor Pausch, not for sharing his final year, although that itself was a gift.  We owe him because he was able to get some funding for pancreatic cancer research and was able to raise awareness [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We got word this week that my mother&#039;s pancreatic cancer is now considered end stage.  They have tried to two best chemotherapies for this type of cancer and they are not proving effective.  They have no reason to believe the third best would be any more effective.  Her marker numbers are climbing, [...]]]></description>
