Today started off pretty much the same as yesterday. Mom did say she ate a pretty good breakfast but she still dozed most of the time. Then around noon the covering doctor came in. He mentioned a nursing home and Mom got all upset. She said that Dad is retired and takes good care of her and she wants to go home. He wanted to know what Dad wanted to do and Beth said that he needed to talk to Dad about that. Dad had gone home for lunch . . . so the Dr. gave him until 1:30 to get back because he had to leave at 2:00. (It's about a half hour drive from home tothe hospital.)
Dad made it back and they talked. Nothing concrete has been decided yet . Dad wants to wait to hear what Mom's doctor has to say but they don't know when he will be back. Her doctor's mother is in bad shape and he had to go to India to see her. He was expected to be back yesterday but when he got there his trip became open ended. So decisions will probably have to be made without him.
Mom's upset made her even more determined. She talked more and clearer this afternoon than she has since she first went in. They finally got a chair in her room and she sat in it for 1 hour and 15 minutes . . . then she lost her dinner. She is trying and we all know what a strong women she is.
Please continue to keep her in your prayers. Pray that she is as comfortable and as peaceful as she possibly can be.
