		<description><![CDATA[Monday night at 8:23pm, in the Palliative Care section of the University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City, my mother, Mary Albers, slipped quietly from our world and into God&#8217;s hands. It is difficult to moment to describe, but was certainly the weirdest, yet most awe inspiring moment I have ever witnessed&#8230;and one will never [...]]]></description>

Mary was admitted at the University of Iowa Hospitals &#38; Clinics in Iowa City on May 27th as scheduled.

		<description><![CDATA[Mom&#8217;s health took another nasty blow over the weekend. She simply isn&#8217;t getting better. The right side of her heart is weakening, which means her internal organs are (once again) becoming starved for nutrients. On Friday, Mom was too tired to hold any sort of conversation and Larry was obviously beside himself. I had brought [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spent the weekend over at the folks place to see how mom was adjusting to life in the real world. It was good to see her back in her natural environment: napping on the couch. Mom is a bit uneasy on her feet, although that didn&#8217;t keep her from walking around the living room, checking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Latest update as of 1/9/07 @ 11:00p.m. Finally&#8230; a good 24 hours. Spent some time with Mom tonight and she was more alert and talkative than she had been the entire week. She kept saying to herself, &#8220;I just need to quit worrying.&#8221; When I asked her what about, she replied, &#8220;Everything.&#8221; Mom&#8217;s mostly worried [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since my last post, the health issues with my mother have gone from REALLY bad, to horrible, to promising. Let&#8217;s see if I can break this down in a language that everybody here can easily understand. My mother went into the hospital November 23; the day after Thanksgiving. She had been feeling horrible and had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK. The truth is&#8230; I am stressed-out beyond belief. This is not the typical &#8216;finals week&#8217; stress, but the kind of stress brought on by the tragedies occurring to the person you love. My mother has been in the hospital for the last two weeks, stemming from an issue with her heart. It&#8217;s tough to [...]]]></description>
