Sadness!!!

Lee's mom passed away today June 15th, 2009. She went peacefully with her family (I sat in the waiting room with the kids). She had been sick and on a ventilator for about a week and a half. She went in with heart pain (as she says) and had a heart attack with pneumonia and congestive heart failure. She ended up having another heart attack and they brought her back, the family got to be with her when she went that was a good thing. Lee is doing better than I thought.

My mom is home and doing okay. She is seeing people who are not there. Working in the health care field you here about people talking to people who are not there before they die. It is really bothersome to see my mom doing this. Her home nurse even braced us for the worst. She also is getting us a hospital bed, wheelchair and bedside table for the house so it is easier to care for her.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss and your mom's maybe "decline" although she may still pull though. My thoughts are prayers are with your family.
