Update from Sarah, 26 Oct

Dad (Jonah) and I arrived this morning to relieve King and See-Ing. Grandma did not have a good night; she'd begun moaning at 3:00 AM and hadn't stopped. Fifth aunt called and spoke to Grandma briefly. Grandma did not talk back, but I think she knew who was speaking to her, because her hand moved briefly while Dad held the phone to her ear. Our nurse today is Jennifer. She gave us some insight into what it feels like for Grandma to try to breathe right now. Jennifer's daughter has asthma, and not only does it make it hard to breathe, but the sensation can also cause great anxiety. Grandma is having a breathing treatment now. The breathing treatments help open her airways, making it a little easier to breathe. Megan will be arriving from Tallahassee in an hour or so; Uncle Deng and Daniel will arrive at the airport this afternoon.
