Just a Heads Up

[The Seeker]

Got a call that she's probably not going to last much longer, it could be anytime now.

I'm around 30 miles away and I'm not sure if I want to be there or not.

Of course no one knows for sure so I could sit there all day???

 

[DaveM]

Thinking of you AJ

 

[Gromit]

In our hearts. Seeker, if it were me, I'd go.

My Brother is an MD (pathologist). He's there since he lives very close. He texted me that she could live all day or maybe days. He thinks the nursing facility might be jumping the gun a bit and told me to wait. She's comatose so it's not like she'd know I was there or not. He said he'd text me if things looked worse and he thinks I should drive down there.

 

[The Seeker]

Sorry folks but it does look a bit premature.

According to my Brother, he examined her and says her heart is still strong and unless there is some other complication such as her choking, she'll probably hang on for possibly days.

He's sure enough that he said I shouldn't drive down there and that he's even leaving to get some work done at his office.

I kidded with him that all his "patients" are dead so.......

Please keep us updated, AJ; we care. Your situation is agonizing and stressful. I went through that when we took my mom off of life support after her stroke.

I sooooo know this feeling. Hope it works out the best way possible AJ. I'm really very sorry, tho we all have to go thru this eventually. Glad to hear you have the rigth attitude tho. My mother suffered some and while it killed me to see her go it WAS extremely relieved to know she was no longer suffering.

 

[The Seeker]

Well, she passed-on at around 8:30 PM tonight Wednesday- March 7th.

 

[DaveM]

AJ sorry to hear this but as you know the suffering is now over for her and she is in a better place, thinking of you and the family right now

 

[DaveB]

It's the news we all dread to hear.

Thinking of you & your family at this very difficult time.

Sorry to hear this AJ. Let your Mums peace envelope you and your family.

 

[Gromit]

Seeker, I'm so sorry to hear this but I do understand the sense of relief that the suffering is over. My little family is thinking of you and yours and holding you in our hearts.

 

[devo]

Condolences to you and your family AJ and I am pleased for you that her suffering is over.

 

[CarlS]

AJ, I am sorry that you and your brother have had to go through this. I am glad that she is no longer suffering. However, losing a parent is a hard, irreplaceable loss regardless of the circumstances. It closes a chapter in one's life. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

AJ, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I really appreciate the heartfelt condolences.

She was a religious person, so prayers for her soul are appropriate. I do hope for her sake that she's reunited with my Dad. She never full accepted his passing and wanted that more than anything worldly.

She'd been a nurse during WWII in the Canadian Army....I only wish she could have proper Canadian military rites, but I don't think that's possible. Regardless.......Je me rappellerai toujours

I have very little family....a Brother and Sister-in-Law, their Son, and my own Family. My Daughter is nearby, my eldest Son a few hours away, and my middle boy in St Louis won't be able to make it back because he's in the middle of comprehensive exams at Grad School. It's bothering him that he can't come home and I just hope it doesn't affect his tests.

Again...thank you TriumphTalk Family!

Sorry AJ. But like others said, no more suffering. Thats was the only thing you can take comfort in with this situation. But it sure helped me get thru it.
