I just wrote a whole post explaining the week I spent at my mother's bedside in the ICU at a hospital out of state. But it is too personal and exposing to put it out here at this time. So I will give you a somewhat vague idea and that will let you in on my fun times recently.....The word harrowing sounded like a good fit but I had to look it up to be sure. and yes, the synonyms work perfectly....agonizing, tormenting, painful and heartbreaking.
Here is the bare overview...
She signed a DNR. We finally came around to her thinking and agreed. Then Mom changed her mind at the last minute, literally! OMG, what a week my family has had! She is now fighting the damage done to her lungs and may even recover. I am still spinning with questions and wonderings!
Thanks for caring,

ReplyDeleteYou must feel like you got stuck in a revolving door. Sounds like Mom is a fighter. This is exactly why I believe in living wills and medical POA's. There's no doubt that way.
ReplyDeletePraying for and thinking of you.
