Please pray for my mom.

Not much to update. It is still the same except for the fact that she seems to have a more peaceful look to her face. I know it sounds crazy, but I "went" to where souls go before they finally crossover. It is just something that I know how to do. Don't ask me how...it is something that I discovered about myself.
I met up with family members that passed. It was like old home week. They are there waiting for her. It appears that she is like 60% there and 40% here. It is hard to explain and I know it sounds freaky. Mom is getting ready though. I am praying for a smooth, speedy transition for her.

Again, I want to thank all of you.

Mom is too far gone. We are pulling the plug Wednesday. Sooner if she continues to decline over the next few days. Her lungs are not responding to the antibiotic treatment and the expansion with oxygen from the respirator. She fills up with fluid even faster now. It's time. Thanks everyone.

I feel so bad for you and your family about this, the words escape my mind to describe the sorrow.

wishing you and your family the best thru this whole process.

My granny who suffered from dementia but still lived at home with my uncle came to visit me in a dream one night. She no longer had dimentia and was about 40 years younger. She grabbed me on each shoulder looked in my eyes and without speaking she said "everything is ok I am better".I told my wife about the dream.

3 days later I called my uncle, who i phone about every 1- 2 months. He informed she suffered a massive heart attack 4 days ago and was hospitalized. He went on about how she did not have dimentia after the heart attack, but unfortunately she suffered a 2nd heart attack yesterday and died.

May she go in peace Debbie. Once again, I am so sorry. Keep that picture of her with the family, and strolling somewhere in a lovely meadow, hand and hand with your Dad.

You are right. They were going to do a trache (spelling) on her today. We told them not to even bother. We will be taking her off the respirator next week. I'll know by the end of this week as to what day.

It would be this week, but my son's birthday is Wednesday and we were all going to get together on saturday to take him out to dinner. He will be 25. We agreed that we should and that mom would want us to. That is why we are waiting.

All I ask is for prayers for a smooth transition to spirit for her. Her brain is shot, so I don't think she will suffer much. She will be sedated and on morphine.

I have experienced some crazy stuff the past few years, but this tops the cake.

I appreciate your support. Thank you.
