Oh no! I'm so sorry, Susan! I'm so glad you have Meg there to help
and give you the benefit of her medical advice and experience. I hope
your mother's case will be like her father's, but I definitely
empathize with your fears, right now. I definitely agree you should
not do anything drastic without getting a second, and even third and
fourth opinions on your mother's prognosis. Talk to your mother, even
if you're not sure she can hear you, and reassure her that you're
there, and are not just going to lose hope of recovery. I hope the
other medical opinions give you more hope than the current situation
appears to indicate.
All prayers prayed, incense burned, candles lit, and "Wake up,
Helene" Woodgies sent. May the angels surround her hospital bed and
guide her back to you.
