Updating again. from the Friday meeting with the docs.
The chemo that could stimulate the bone marrow is too harsh for someone of her age and condition. The concentious is placing her in hospice and keeping her comfortable as needed.

In hospice she will be made comfortable for as long as the process takes, she will be able to see her surviving family members and say her goodbyes.

She has myledisplastic syndrome which is low blood cell production as well as low platlet production. Had it been identified earlier there were treatments to slow the advance of the disease, but it's water under the bridge at this point.

I'd still appreciate prayers for low pain through her final days if you could.

THANKS TO ALL AGAIN
My family, and I appreciate all the efforts, it's just her time, and God decides, not us.

I'll update again when it's over.

Sirrotica, my dad passed away from that in ‘08. The disease transitioned into leukemia and he passed after a few days. He was not in pain and pretty much slept his last days away. Prayers for your mother, hospice will be a big help.

Prays go out to your mother that she lives out the rest of her life comfortably.

As I had posted earlier I would update this thread when my mother had passed.

She decided to go into hospice of her own decision on Friday of last week, she was transported to the hospice facility last Sunday night. Today Sat. 11/14, at 11:40 she has passed from this world to be with Jesus and my father. I was in the room as she took her last breath.

I will be tying up all the loose ends as being an only child, I am executor of the estate, then driving back home to Ohio.

The prayers helped and she did regain her kidney function as well as kicking the C diff infection, the bone marrow issue would have to have been an act from God to overcome. In the end her inability to replenish the blood supply was the deciding factor.

The staff of the hospital, and the hospice staff, all did an excellent job. I can find no fault with any of the people that helped along the journey.

I want to again thank all that have offered their prayers, and thoughts during this trying time, it is appreciated by my family, and myself.

I'm just going to relax Saturday and Sunday, and try to form a plan for the mission at hand beginning on Monday of dispersing the possessions at her apartment, and doing all the legal matters that need attending to.

Very sorry for your loss. Living so far away is was great that you were able to be with her to the very end. 99 years old is a full life and you said she was active to near the end. There will be some tough days and weeks ahead. My mother has been gone several years now and I think of her often and my family have some good and funny memories. Take your time, take care of business and have a safe trip home.

Sad to hear of your loss. Your presence was a huge comfort for your mom as you both worked to accept the terms of her illness. Take care of yourself and God bless you.

[vertigto]

So sorry for your loss and praying for peace.

My mom is fading fast in the nursing home, exacerbated by this COVID crap and I fear her time in the world will soon be over too.

Sorry for your loss Brad, sincere condolences. It doesn't matter how expected or anticipated it is, it's never easy.

Mike thanks.

Funny thing is that my cousins live here in Scottsdale and treated my mother, just like it was their own mother. I asked my cousin at the end of Oct. if I needed to make the trip, and she said probably not at that time. Something told me to just get out here. As it turned out I arrived at the optimum time concerning the events.

The events, my cousins husband was admitted to the hospital with a reoccuring back ailment the same day my mother was originally admitted, Oct 12th. He has since been sent to rehab, and is now at home recovering.

My mothers sister has also been sent to the hospital twice since I arrived here on Nov. 2nd. She is supposed to be released today. My cousin, which has sat with me at the hospice, is very concerned her mom could be next.

I also talked to my daughter this AM to tell her of my mothers passing, and her mothers, mother (my daughters grandmother, by the X wife) is gravely ill (history of heart problems over the last 45 years), and has been in and out of the hospital since I left Ohio. My daughter says she doubts she'll make Thanksgiving. She has gotten much worse just since last night, from what my daughter has told me today. She is at home, I urged my daughter to get her into hospice if she is in as much pain as she has told me today, daughter also says she's basically given up, and wants to die.

Tough set of events to befall one small group of people is such a short time, almost hard to believe.............

Bless you Brad, travel safely.
