My mil is probably going to die today.


Recommended Posts

She went into the hospital a few days ago with complications from her COPD. She stopped breathing about 24 hours ago. They put a breathing tube in, but they couldn't sedate her enough to not be aware, because when they tried to, her blood pressure got too low. She was NOT happy about being put on the breathing machine.

 

She couldn't talk, but she wrote. We all got to say goodbye. Then they took the breathing tube out. They don't know how long she'll make it on her own, but it's been made clear they are not to resuccitate her.

 

Dh is struggling. The kids are struggling. I've been awake for almost 24 hours, and I can't fall asleep.

 

And, fil's mother is in another hospital, across town, and expected to pass away this week. Fil, clearly, is NOT doing well. He will most likely lose his mother and his wife this week.

 

We could use your prayers.

I just wanted to share. After I typed my response, I closed my eyes to pray for all of you. I'm still grieving the loss of my mom, so I could really feel your prayer request. I then opened Bible Gateway to read the verse of the day. Under the verse was a link to listen to the chapter and it was so very perfect. If you have time, click the link that says Listen to this chapter after the verse of the day. The first part is so relevant and comforting in the way that it's read (for me anyway).

Thank you everyone.

 

Mil is in hospice. I'm back home with the little boys so they can sleep, then I'm headed back to the hospital. Don't know if she will make it through the night or not.

 

Thank you for the prayers. They mean so much. Dh is not doing well.
