Unfortunately mom is not getting better, they have called in Hospice and it is now a matter of time, my sister is with her as is my nephew Josh and his wife Daisy and several family friends so she will be among those she loves. Mom had fought the fight and is ready to move on. I had the great opportunity as did the kids to talk with her on Sunday evening...we have said our goodbyes for now, she expressed her love for each of us as well as encourage us to not take things for granted. She wasn't a perfect mom, but then neither am I, but she is still and always will be "my" mom.
She has told Denise she feels my brother Mark and sister Debbie very close, and woke up early this morning and asked if they were having a party! Apparantly she saw a lot of people in her room...but only Denise, Josh and Daisy were there...
We had some great times shopping when she came out in November, she nicknamed me Golda years ago because I could find such great deals!
Unless there is a miracle...she hasn't eaten much in over 2 weeks, her kidneys are shutting down and she is in heart failure, we are now observing her wish to not have drastic measures taken and to let her go with dignity. We will be driving out from Pennsylvania as soon as we hear, going first to Ogden for a day or so then on to Fresno for her funeral we cannot find reasonable airfare so we are going to rent a car. So please remember us in your prayers.....
