HOPE'S STORY, PART 11: "IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE"

The closing entries from my mom's journal:

October 26, 2011:  Hope's cold is gone, if it was a cold.  She was peaceful most of the day today.

October 27, 2011:  Another rough night for Hope last night.  She was breathing with difficulty most of the night.  When Hannah and I arrived in the morning she was still laboring to breathe.  At times her tongue would pull and her jaw would drop down to pull in air.  Caeli commented that she looks more blue today.  They are keeping eye drops in her eyes to keep them hydrated.
