Mom is in ICU

Mom was moved to ICU today.

They believe she has a perferated bowel and septia/septis.

We've agreed that further treatment will only prolong the inevitable as the doctors have all said there is no chance of recovery.

We have transitioned care to provide only pain management and anti-nausea.

I am writing this from the conference room in the 3rd floor, which the hospital staff have turned into our family waiting room. All the grandkids are here, along with my dad, my step dad, my step mom, my sister, and my brother in-law. My brother is on his way from up North. He should be here within an hour now.

A miracle would be much appreciated, but we are also prepared that we may not get one.
