Linda and I spent last Friday night at St. Johns Hospital in Santa Monica, reading to Georgianna all the emails that were pouring in, playing some Enya songs, and singing softly "Those Who Wait on the Lord" suggested by some of our colleagues. Georgianna was in a coma, but they say the last thing to go is the hearing. Daughter Jana arrived from Northern California Saturday morning and Holly a little after Noon. During the night Georgianna's breathing went from rasping to a more calm rhythm. The Hospice nurse arrived around Noon and all arrangements were made for taking Georgianna home. Linda and I went ahead to open the house in Malibu and move some furniture to make room for the delivery of a bed and medical supplies and wait for the ambulance to arrive with Georgianna and Jana. Georgianna has been surrounded by three nurses around the clock for some months now. We call them St. Theresa, St. Maria, and St. Rosa, from El Salvador and Mexico. Her first home hospice nurse is from Ethiopa. This is fitting for Georgianna is truly a "global citizen." Georgianna arrived home about 5:30 on Saturday, transported by two caring paramedics who along with Jana and Holly, lifted their Mom onto a stretcher for the trip up the stairs to the living room. Georgianna made the trip just fine and has been at rest at home since. Son John arrived from Denmark Sunday night. Jana told us that she gave her Mom a bath and did her nails. Linda and I have been privileged to be "adopted" as though part of the family and considered by Georgianna so as she told us many times. But then we believe that she told many of you the same through the years. She was with us through the entire 13 years of the FOOD FOR ALL project, which still continues in one form or another, just as many of the ICA projects she worked on have continued in one form or another. We await news which we will pass on. It should not be much longer. But Georgianna is already "at home" and surrounded by a universe of compassion and love.
