Family is here

Aunt iris, aunt rose , Dad and me are with mom. She's still with us.

Darren

More Detail on what's going on

The doctor said that the oxygen/gas levels in her blood are too low, they can't sustain her organs. They don't expect her to recover from this, they are seeing her levels trend down. She they expect to be gone in the next 12 to 24 hours. The cause may have been a blood clot in her lungs but they can't do the test as it would be too invasive right now.

Her eyes are open a little but she's constantly looking left to right. she does not responds to any questions. She isn't in a lot of pain.

As things change i'll update the blog.

12 to 24 hours

Mom is starting to slowly fade. We have about 12 to 24 hours

Send a msg to Sylvia

If you would like me to read a message to sylvia make a comment on this blog post. I'll take it in and read it to her.

Make it something to the point, not a novel. Make it about something you've been up to while mom's been in the hospital. She hasn't heard from a lot of her friends in a while.

Also make a note if your apart of Family, CCN, Church, compassionate friends or any group my mom is a part of. if you're not a part of these groups i doesn't matter.

Don't forget to put your name in. I'll read them as they come in so if you think you missed sending her a msg don't worry. i'll get to them as they are added.
