More about Nana.

[linden_jay]

It's not going to be long. Months turned into weeks, which is rapidly turning into days or less. Everyone in the family is being called, we've got doctors and nurses and hospice people making house calls, and we've got some of the strongest cough medicine known to man to try and get her to stop going into spasms. She's on the top of the waiting list to get into the hospice program, but I don't think we've got that long. And if we did, I don't know how we'd move her.

She's very agitated right now, although we're working on it, and the only time she cried was when the nurse told her that she thought Nana needed to be back in the hospital. We're going to try everything humanly possible to keep that from happening. It's the only thing she's asked for, and if at all possible, we want to honour that.

I don't know when I'll be around. Please keep thinking of us.

I'm so sorry sweetheart. You're in my thoughts. *hugs*

Thank you, t. It was a truly peaceful and--weirdly enough--beautiful death. I know how that must sound, but it was something we could all feel all right about--like if it had to happen, it was good that it happened how it did. Thank you for your thoughts *hugs back*

Thank you for thoughts and love for me and mine. It felt so good knowing people were thinking of us while we were with her, and in the days after. *HUGS BACK*

*HUGS* I'm keeping you all in my thoughts, and hoping for the best.

I think what we ended up with was the best, considering the circumstances. She went out peacefully, surrounded by family and loved ones, and what more can a person ask for, truly. Thank you, so much, for your thoughts.

I'm glad she had all of you. And that you had as much of her as you could. *HUGS*

And welcome back. :)

My thoughts are with you and your family. *hugs*

Thank you so much. She went out calmly and peacefully, and at eighty-six years, I think that's really about the best that can happen.
