my house, I have been visiting Darlene once or twice a week, and
at Rev. Joan's suggestion, read her the weekly bulletin last week,
which she enjoyed. Then I remembered my experience in singing
with the All Souls Jubilee Singers at Nursing Homes in the
Washington area and seeing resident periodically join in on songs
they knew. In one case, a staffer told us the person had not
spoken in two years! As you may remember, Dave invited members
of the choir to their house from time to time to sing from the
hymnbook with Darlene. So tomorrow or Friday I am going to visit
her with the hymnal and invite her to sing some familiar hymns
with me. If she responds positively, I will let you know and
perhaps a small number of us can do this from time to time.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>Hello friends,<br>
Dave, Matt, and Nancy met this morning with the
palliative care team at UVM Medical Center. I’m
sorry to tell you that the cancer Dave has is too
widespread and aggressive for treatment and so the
next stage of his care will be hospice. Dave will be
moved soon to Mayo Healthcare’s hospice facility
in Northfield.<br>
<br>
This afternoon (11/28), Dave underwent surgery to remove
a blockage near his bladder. Doctors were concerned
about renal failure. I don’t know the results of that
surgery as of this writing, but doctors were confident
that they would be able to remove the blockage. When
Dave has recovered from the surgery, the move to Mayo
Healthcare will go forward.<br>
<br>
Dave cannot see visitors at this time, but when he is
settled in Mayo, we’ll post visiting information.<br>
<br>
As for cards and letters, keep sending to the home
address for now. We’ll get the mail to Dave
quickly. We’ll be sure to let you know if and when this
changes.<br>
