Doing better, so far the docs are pounding her with meds and fluids. She is awake and smiling again. Tonight she ate pretty good. The kidneys are a real problem at the moment but they are addressing it with IV stuff and fluids trying to get them to produce again ... Hopefully she can avoid long term dialysis.

Bruce I am so sorry bro. I had been on the road non stop lately

I agree with the others who said to spend this time sharing with her. Like retelling family stories that make you laugh, make you weep. She'll know how much you love her, how close you are, and it will get through. Squeeze her hand when you need to. She just might give you a reassuring squeeze back.

Aww, man. From all you've said, if this is it, she's had a full share of life well lived. And lived so well that losing her will hurt bad. Wishing comfort and strength for you and all the family.

Not good, she was home, fine, now they rushed her back ... total kidney failure this time. I guess the surgeries were too much for her... at 88 it is probably time now ... I don't think they can fix that at her age ... pretty sick again ...

I am ok, just sad

I told this story before but not my mom's reaction. A train jumped the track behind my house. The RR used carbide lights to work through the night to put it back on the rails. Well they left a huge can of carbide that my cousin and I found. Now being 11 years old we didn't know what it was so my cousin said, lets see if it burns. He stole some matches from his house and we tried to light it up ... BOOOM
it blew out all the windows by his dad's garage. The explosion sent me flying, shredded my cloths and burned off my hair ... other than that my cousin and I were toasty but unharmed. I went home crying .. After mom figured out that only my pride was hurt she goes

"That's what you and your cousin gets for playing with dynamite"

One of the great lessons she taught me was through her losing her house. All the big gun lawyers wanted her to file a big lawsuit. She said NO ! The young man made a mistake, I pray that he learns and gets better.

Insurance on her home took care of her for another house but she and us lost everything we had as a kid

The truck driver was a young man, Mom wrote a 5 page letter to him in jail about how bad drugs are and he would do better to try the rosary .. and that she was glad he wasn't hurt

Sins,
Here name is Jennie

So I didn't want her to keep driving the nurses crazy because she won't put in her hearing aid .. by the way, the nurses said she has been entertaining the whole staff. One said she should have been a stand up comic .. I said yes but she is not making it up.. Anyway, the nurses get what, come again ... so I called in a favor, I got this military sniper hearing headphone set like the special forces use. I mean you can hear the flies getting it on a mile away .. so I go in and she has the headset on and the TV is low low low, she says can't you turn the TV volume down it is really loud... LOL ... one extreme to another

Geez Dude. Your Mom has had an exciting life.

Did she give the truck driver a talking to?

So in 1998 a drunk and high truck driver drove an 18 wheeler right through her house. My Mom and My aunt (who since has passed) were upstairs of the old house. The truck collapsed and the house started on fire. All rooms collapsed except for the part of the floor with the two old ladies. The firemen got them both out without injury but the house was a loss. Well the truck was carrying oranges. The insurance company put my mom and my aunt up in an apartment until they settled the house loss. I went over to visit them and my mom goes look. She opens up the fridge, every inch packed with oranges. Mom says, "Your aunt and I figured they owed us that much"
