Meanwhile, Nonna's health deteriorates

As I visited the Stevens family in Baltimore this weekend, Diana remained in New York to tend to her grandmother. Without a miracle, Nonna's remaining time is short. She was readmitted to the hospice this afternoon after six days of rapid deterioration despite round-the-clock home care. Diana stayed at her apartment last night and slept not at all, as Nonna's discomfort worsened and disorientation set in. She cried out for her long-deceased mother, sister, and brother throughout the evening. Please continue to pray for the peace that surpasses understanding to fill Nonna's room and the hearts of all those who love her. Diana is especially close to her grandmother.
