So sorry to hear the news about your mom. She will be in my thoughts and
prayers for her recovery and for your family.
God bless her and take care of her.

My mother is still in the ICU, though her condition remains critical.
My sister, who had planned to come here for Christmas on Thursday, was able
to change her flight. She arrived yesterday evening. At that time, my
mother was very bad: she had had a stroke in the wee hours of Tuesday, all
down her right side. Flo was really tired after the flight; so we decided,
therefore, to wait overnight so she could spend time with my mother today.
After which, we'd tell the doctors to turn off life support.
However, this morning we got a call: my mother had woken up, and was
responsive when spoken to (though not able to speak). Her functions seem to
be a bit better, and they've now taken the breathing tube out. However, she
is still desperately weak--and, of course, there are the consequences of the
stroke.
So the doctors are trying to prepare us, since they think it is likely
there may be another "crisis" (i.e. stroke, probably).
Basically, instead of a sad decision today, we are in a wait-and-see
situation. It's probably going to be a "long goodbye"; but ... hope
springs eternal. (Or at least until the worst happens and there's no hope.)
Thank you to everyone for your kind wishes. I really appreciate it.

Having been through a similar situation with my Mom a little over a year ago,
I am sending you good thoughts and prayers. It is never easy to see a loved
one go through something like this. Phylis
