I deeply appreciate the care and concern on my last post. I am also thankful for the caring emails and it is killing me that I'm unable to respond to them. I've been stuck at the hospital with only my iPhone for internet. My eyes aren't that great so I was hoping soon to go home and update you and hopefully give good news.
Unfortunately, that is not the case.
Yesterday I made the horrendously difficult decision to remove my mother's life support. The dr. thought she'd be gone in a few hours, but here we are 16 hours later and she is still hanging on.
I've been blessed with the support of family and friends throughout this ordeal. We are in a Catholic hospital so my mother has had lots of annointings, prayers, and rosaries said for her. She loves this faith and so this has been a great comfort.
Thank you all deeply for caring and I will touch base with each one of you very soon. God bless.

Bless her heart, bless your heart. You both remain in my thoughts and prayers. Catholic hospitals are wonderful. I love the liturgy of the Catholic religion.

My heart goes out to you, Gail. This is a very difficult time for you, I know, and so soon after your life-changing plans to help your mother. My prayers are with you during this ordeal.
gail, my heart hurts for you! i am praying for your mother to let go...
Gail, my thoughts and prayers are with you both. How difficult this must be. Hugs.
Oh Gail! I dropped by hoping your mother was doing better. I know from personal experience that this is such a difficult time. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. (Hugs)
I'm so sorry but it is how life goes. My grandmother is almost in the same situation and the whole family just wishes she will go fast. This sounds little harsh but we must be realistic and think what is best for them not for us.
I hope all the straight to you.
Love and hugs

I'm so sorry Gail. I know the heartache you are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your mother as you travel this journey.
Oh Gail, my dear, dear friend. I am SO sorry for what you are going through.
I've been there myself, with my own Mom, the hospital, the whole bit. PLEASE email me ANY TIME you want. Any time at all. It helps to have somebody who has been there, I think.
Strength and love to you and yours.

I'm so sorry Gail. I'm praying for you both. Please know that I'm thinking of you.
Gail,
this is such a sad time for you. I am so sorry. But I am also glad that you moved there to be with her in her most needful time. And maybe this will reconnect you to the Catholic Church where you began.
Hugs,

I will hold you and your mom in prayer. So sorry that you have to go through this hard time.
{{{Oh, Gail}}} There are no words. Just know that I'm thinking about you and covering you and your family in prayer.
Oh my friend, my heart goes out to you, as you know I think my Mum only died a matter of months ago, I am with you in spirit.
So so so very sorry, Gail. Oh my heart breaks for you. Lifting you all in my prayers.

I'm so very sorry to hear this.
You have been on my heart a lot...I know your circumstances well and I wouldn't wish them on anyone. It's a horrible place to be. Saying extra prayers for strength and peace on behalf of you and your family.
Gail, I'm so sorry. You know you and your mom have been on my mind, in my heart and in my prayers lately. I hate that I'm so late seeing this. But I'm saying extra prayers now and sending big hugs.
Back again, checking in on you.
Strength and hugs, my friend.
xoxo
Take care of your mother & be with her... she needs you! God bless & I'm terribly sorry
