In the obituary and on the website, it is stated that the hours for Saturday begin at 11 o'clock. This is not completely accurate and seems to have caused some confussion. To clarify; Friday December 10th there will be a 3 hour viewing from 5-8 pm. Saturday there will be a service at 11 am, however, there will be an hour viewing prior, at 10 O'CLOCK. After the service there will also be additional time to pay respects. Website should be updated later this morning.
FUNERAL AND VIEWING TIMES:
FRIDAY - 5PM-8PM
SATURDAY - 10AM-12PM (APPROXIMATELY)
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
Love .........Xoxo

Information
Sorry this is so late. I had a very busy and not easy day. Here is the website to Selover Funeral Home located at 555 Georges Road in North Brunswick; http://www.seloverfuneralhome.com/. On the website and in the Obituary (Home News Tribune), it will state that the arrangements for Saturday are from 10-11 am with a service to follow. However, we are looking to change the time a little and hopefully extend it to noon with a service to follow. The Obituary is already printed, but the website will be updated with any changes.
Once again I do not know how to express what everyone's support, prayers, visits, emails, flowers, cards. and well wishes have meant to my Mom and me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
On top of all the love sent to us, I just found out from Earl Wiggley, (my Mom's boss) that there is a trustfund set up for Broden in memory of my Mom. I'm not quite sure who is was that originally came up with this idea, but to say we feel blessed would be an understatement. Thank you all so very much.
Keep Praying...Xoxo

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CALL FIRST.
I'm going to be very honest and to the point. My Mom is not doing well and is rapidly declining. She is in a critical state and at this point we can not have an "open door" policy for visitors. Please, please, please call ahead and check to make sure that your visit would be a good idea. There are bad days and worse days and everyday is, really, getting worse. We understand and appreciate so many people wanting to visit but it's just not a good idea. I hope everyone understands that I am doing what I fell is best for my Mom and that is who it's truly about. Anyone can call on my cell phone which is 732-236-0767 or on my Mom's home phone which is 732-247-1186 to speak to either me or Diana (my mothers best friend who is here from Florida). I would feel very bad if someone prepared and came over and then was not able to visit, so, please call first. Thank you all so much for your understanding.

Sunday morning
Made it through the night. I thought yesterday was just a bad day, but today seems worse. This sucks. I'm so confussed and don't know what to do as far as people visiting are concerned. Since I thought yesterday was just a bad day I suggested people call. Well, now I don't know. I'm trying to take care of my Mom and not overwhelm her and still be respectful to the people that want to come over, so..... At this point just come over when you want. We have family from out of state coming this afternoon so that would be the only time for today that I am aware of that extra visitors would jusr be too much. I belive they are coming around noon. Just so people are aware, my Mom's mental state is not good. There are times she understands, but since yesterday afternoon she's been very confussed and today is no different.

Day by Day
Things around here have been crazy and busy and I apologize for not posting for a few days. I only have a few minutes because I am on my way to my Mom's for the night shift which is about 15 hours or so. Diana does day shift, also 15 hours, so we overlap for a few in the morning and early afternoon. At the moment poor Diana has come down with some sinus congestion and hopefully will feel better soon.
As for my Mom, she is amazing and doing the best she can every minute of every day. Sadly, the days are getting harder and becoming more painful for her. Today was the worst so far. Actually just got a call from my mom and I need to run.
For anyone that wants to visit the door is still open, however, after today maybe a phone call first would be a good idea or just expect that she may sleep the whole time you are here. As far as her diagnosis goes from what the doctor's told us...the sooner the better. Their prediction is that there is not much time left at all. They could be wrong but it would be sad to take that chance and miss an opurtunity to say "goodbye"
Thank you to everyone so much for all your love, prayers, support and visits. Without Broden, Matt, Diana, Uncle Fred and my girlfriend Janet along with all family and friends there is no way this would be possible to get through.

Home tomorrow we hope.
Earlier today at the hospital the doctors did a procedure on my Mom and inserted a Plurex Catheter into her right lung. This is needed so she can come home. As far as I know, at the moment, I am to go to the hospital, at some point tomorrow, to get training from the medical staff and via educational video to learn how to drain the catheter at home. The catheter will hopefully relieve some/any fluid around the lung and make it easier and less painful for my Mom to breath. WOW. Also, earlier today the Hospice Center delivered a bed, oxygen, nebulizer, and various other supplies. So it appears we are all set. We are so excited and nervous (to be honest) to get her out of the hospital and home.
With the help of family and friends (Broden-MY SUPER BIG HELPER, Matt, Diana, and Greg) my Mom's house is decorated for Christmas which is her fovorite holiday (mine too). She is unaware at the moment and I think and hope this will be a happy and welcoming surprise.THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I'm also planning on having an early Christams for my Mom and Broden which I truly belive both will enjoy.
As my Uncle Fred said in a post earlier today, we belive that my Mom would enjoy some visitors once she's home and settled and that won't take long. It is NOT necessary, at the moment, to call ahead to visit, but if anyone would like to call and see if/when is a good time, feel free to call on my cell phone and I will do my best to answer or call back (732-236-0767). The only thing I ask, as of now, is that we are given just a short time to have our early Christmas which I will post when I know when it will be happening.
Going to try and get a little bit of sleep. Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks to all for your prayers, love, emails/messages and support.
KEEP PRAYING.....Love, hugs and kisses to everyone.

Waiting
(Lisa is running aorund today, so I am trying to fill in for now-Fred)
Not sure if Pat will be home today but there is a lot to do in the meantime to get the house ready for her. Although she was not up to having visitors when she was in the Cancer Treatment Center, once she is settled at home, she would probably enjoy some visitors if you would like to say good bye. She has been in pretty good spirits and Lisa and I think she would like the compnay.
Stay tuned for the next update about when she will be home.

May be coming home
Talked with the doctors, case manager, and rep. from Visiting nurses/Hospice and my Mom may be able to come home within the next few days with Hospice. Will have more information tomorrow. Before they can sent her home she has to have a Plurex Cath. put into her lung that we will be able to drain at home. A hospital bed and other various equipment should be delivered to the house tomorrow in preparation.
I know she wants to come home and it will be nice to see her happy and so close. I think Broden is both excited and scared (me too) but he is hanging tough. He, actually, took it upon himself today to find and talk to the school counselor!!! So impressed and so proud. We are all doing the best we can given the situation.
