Meeting w. the Dr. yesterday didn't go as we hoped, but did go as we expected. There is extensive damage to the outside edge of the entire right hemisphere of mom's brain, as well as a large spot in the back of the skull and a couple of small spots in the center.  They're going to do an in-room ultrasound of the arteries in her neck sometime today, then will probably move her to "comfort care" -- disconnect all the tubes and other things she never wanted to be hooked up to to begin with, and ease her passing.

Good morning everyone, I come to you today with this service alert.

American peaches - also sold in Canada - are under a recall order due to Salmonella contamination.

Wouldn’t you know it, I bought peaches for the first time this past week...

That is all, so please carry on with your day. I hope it’s a good one for you.

sending good thoughts to you both & to the staff at the hospital that you all find some measure of peace

Morning All. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

All is well here. We have sunshine after 2 days of rain.

Have a good Monday.

Mom was taken off life support yesterday morning. Breathing has slowed, blood pressure / pulse has slowed, but she's still clinging on this morning. Could move on in the 5 min or the next 36hrs

Fae 

this is the hardest part so stay strong and know we are thinking of you during this time.

Wow, the past couple of days have been tough. Every so often I get slammed with excruciating headaches that come and go in waves over the course of several days. This current bout started Saturday and shows no sign of slowing down. Day 3 and it still feels like someone is randomly jabbing a white hot ice pick thru my skull and into the back of my eye. Yesterday was worse, 6 ibuprofen took the edge if for maybe 2 hours. Not much I can do but ride it out. Usually it last 4 or 5 days, but a week isn't unheard of. 

@Fae Briona I'm so sorry about your mom. I'll be thinking of you and wishing your mom peace. 

I hope everyone else has a good day/week.

I hope her passing is peaceful. I am sorry.  We rarely let go of life easily.  I wish you and your family peace.

Don't look for tim for the next day or so.
