over the last few weeks, and days. She wants it to be over with. She's in
ICU, and has been unconscious most of yesterday and today. <BR><BR>I
talked to her Pulmonologist, and he thinks this is it. He said they could
stop blood testing, IVs, etc, give her sedatives, remove the BiPap, and put
her on regular O2 through a cannula when I give the word. <BR><BR>He
thinks that is best for her, and that she would only last a day after that.
I told him that's what we want, but not to do that until after our son got
in to Houston today from Detroit. She's out, been so the last two days,
but could probably acknowledge him. She knew My sister and her husband
when they came last night. Our daughter and oldest granddaughter came by an
saw her yesterday. Her brother will be by this
afternoon. </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
