Coming Home

It looks like I'm going to be coming home tomorrow. My mom is, once again, in the hospital. This time it's worse. She was admitted on Thursday afternoon after a routine visit to her doctor who sent her to get some tests. She is now in ICU at Mount Saint Joseph's on a resperator. The had to recessitate her. She is not breathing on her own at all. We don't really know what happens now. We are still waiting to find out more details on whether or not they will even be able to try to take out the breathing tube. Ken and I have already decided that if the doctors tell us that she can't breathe on her own and is not conscious, we will have them turn off the life support.

So far I'm doing fine, but it helps to be distant from it. My brothers are all sticking together and doing as well as can be expected.
