By Patti Dansereau — Feb 1, 2015 3:44pm Thursday night began our time of firsts that will obviously continue for the next year. Thursday night was our first night without Bernadette’s presence gracing our lives. Our first night not hearing her little voice say, “Good night. I love you too.” Friday morning was our first morningContinue reading “Now begins the time of firsts”

Crossing the Threshold
By Patti Dansereau — Jan 29, 2015 6:44pm It is with incredibly deep sadness that we share with you that Bernadette was taken home to be with all her siblings and her heavenly family this afternoon at 3:35pm, surrounded by her earthly family. Her passing was quick but peaceful. We just wanted to thank youContinue reading “Crossing the Threshold”
Making herself heard
By Patti Dansereau — Jan 29, 2015 11:15am I’m happy to report that Bernadette continues to rest comfortably but certainly not quietly! She’s developed this little grunt every time she breathes out and when it’s quiet you can hear it all the way from the top of the stairs. She doesn’t appear to be in any pain withContinue reading “Making herself heard”
Extra prayer
By Patti Dansereau — Jan 28, 2015 1:54pm I don’t normally post in the middle of the day like this but I’ve heard that many people check the blog a couple times a day, so I’m putting this out and asking you prayer warriors to pray extra today if you can. Bernadette’s breathing is laboured and seemsContinue reading “Extra prayer”
Quiet day
By Patti Dansereau — Jan 28, 2015 1:31am Happy to report that today was relatively quiet. During the night Bernadette gave Sothear a bit of a rough time when she needed to be changed, but other than that they had a good night. Then this morning Dr. Weicker came for a visit and said he wasContinue reading “Quiet day”
Too funny!
By Patti Dansereau — Jan 27, 2015 12:42am Today Bernadette probably had one of her roughest days yet, in a way, or maybe it was the roughest on us or both. She had a half decent night with Joseph and was waiting for me when I got up this morning. She threw up once butContinue reading “Too funny!”
A Day at the Spa!
By Patti Dansereau — Jan 26, 2015 12:24am If it weren’t for the seriousness of the situation, I’d say that Bernadette had a great day getting a full body massage – all day. She’s discovered the soothing comfort of having her feet, legs, back, hands, arms, tummy, and other areas only a mother would massage rubbedContinue reading “A Day at the Spa!”
Dressing change drama of a different kind and one problem solved!!!!!
By Patti Dansereau — Jan 25, 2015 1:36am Yah, I have some happy news to report. Just did a dressing change and Bernadette’s blistery rash is totally cleared up. Praise God! We were suppose to do the dressing change on Thursday but she was having such a rough day that Mary Jane said we’d waitContinue reading “Dressing change drama of a different kind and one problem solved!!!!!”
We have a potential doctor on our hands!
By Patti Dansereau — Jan 23, 2015 8:57pm Let’s start with some uplifting news. 🙂 I heard that many people gathered at St. Joseph’s this afternoon to pray for Bernadette and our family. We can’t thank everyone enough for all your love and prayers. With her having another rough day, just knowing at the same time peopleContinue reading “We have a potential doctor on our hands!”
