Aug 19th I had a tolerable fair night. Alice is still very sick, having
very severe spells of pain & choking. Emma & family are about worn
out in waiting on her. I went to the office this morning adnd attended
my meeting at the Temple with my counselors & the apostles. I am
able to partake of more nourishment so feel better therefor. I received a
telephone message from Emma to come home. I took Bro Nuttall down with
me as Alice seemed to be worse. On arrival we administered to her Bro
Nuttall being mouth. She had another attack. Br Winder called and
we again administered to her he being mouth. Sister Winder agreed to
remain tonight and assist. At 830 she had another attack. The room being warm, Emma
proposed moving her down stairs into the parlor, which Bro Nuttall did by moving a
cottage bedstead & bed down and on its being fixed he carried Alice in his arms
down stairs & she was soon made comfortable in a cooler room. She had
another attack about 10 oclock when Bro Nuttall and I administered to her, I
being mouth. She then settled down and went to sleep for 3 hours, roused up,
took her medicine & to sleep again till after daylight. I did not get any sleep
until about midnight when everything being quiet I slept & rested well till
morning. Bro Nuttall was of great help all night.
