I couldn't think of a title for this post - there's not a lot to say at the moment. We dropped by this morning and mum was semi-sleeping, still in her pajamas. Evidently she couldn't manage to reliably get out of bed this morning. She has various small medical things going on, none of which would sound drastic but the cumulative effect, along with her already weakened state, has her tired out. I poked my head in around noon and she was awake. We talked for a minute and then I left her to rest. She doesn't look like she is in pain, but she's clearly not feeling well.

As I was saying yesterday, it's so hard to know if this is the next decline in her condition or if she will rally again. My guess is the former, but only time will tell. The fact that we've not seen her online or had an email in over 24 hours is a very telling sign.

Mark arrives this evening. We'll check in at Maycourt again after dinner.

Everyone else is healthy and the family continues to pull together and be supportive. Some "friend of Maplelawn" came by this morning to pick up some of mum's books and papers about the garden that she wanted to pass on to them. They brought us a photograph of the plaque in mum's honour that the NCC has just installed in the garden. I'll have some photos of Maplelawn to post tomorrow. Dad says that mum is particularly proud of the fact that the plaque says "Government of Canada." I'm sure it pleases her no end that a "little peasant girl from England" has been officially recognised by the government of the second largest country in the world. :)
