We had a talk with the doctor this evening. Mom has been off and on a ventilator for the last 2 1/2 months. She also has acute kidney failure. They will be moving her to a private room tomorrow or Thursday and the ventilator will be removed.

This was a VERY hard decision for us to make but she will have no quality of life if this continues and she would have to have a trachiotomy (sp?) and be on dialysis for the rest of her life.

Please pray for strength for all of us over the next few days, the doctor said she may last 15 minutes or a week. We will all stay with her.

Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts, they mean a lot to us.

Mary
 
Mary I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. May you find the strength you need to carry you thru.

I'm sure your mother is already surrounded by many Angels. And no doubt you have your Angel standing right by your side giving you this strength. Hugs.

I came here looking for a post from you Mary. I felt in my heart it was that time. I can only imagine how hard it was for you to decide, but for your mom it's the right choice. Now it's up to her to go be with your dad. You've done all you can and she knows you're there and love her.

Mary I'm so sorry. I'm here if you need me. I love you very much!
 
AWWWW! I know you don't know me personally, but I have been in your shoes in this situation. Once with my own, and then with my Mother-In-Law. It is so hard, and I am so sorry. All you can do is hang in there and try to gain support from your family. Sending prayers.
 
Hugs Mary!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

You have made the right decision, I am sure this is what your mother wants....would just be selfish to hang on to her. We think we are ready, but truely really never are. My heart and prayers are with you now and always my dearest friend. Always here if you need me for anything..even if just to vent.

I love you (((HUGS)))
 
Mary, you know that this is the right decision, your mother would not want to linger here in an earthly body that was no longer able to be active. Stay strong my dear friend, you and your family and in my constant thoughts and prayers. It was so good to talk to you the other night. Hugs dear friend.
 
Mary,

I have no idea the pain and agony you are feeling over your mom's failing health and impending passing, but I sure am sorry that you are having to experience this. I have been praying for your family for months now and will continue to do so. If you need an ear I am here anytime. Hugs to you and your entire family and I pray that your mother passes quietly and in peace.
