It's been forever and a day
Since last I wrote within
Yet it seems like yesterday
To me
I'm in California again, and to all my Bakersfield friends, I will call, once all is over and done with.
Mom's back in the hospital and won't make it out this time. They are having to keep her on 30-40 litres of oxygen just to keep the CO2 from building up too quickly.
She has her good moments and bad, but this will be the end for her. I wish not to prolong her suffering nor does she want any heroic measures(intubation, etc), and so we wait vigil by her bedside, giving support to one another as sisters, to my girls who are losing their only grandparent left, to her brothers who are losing their remaining sister, and to her grandson(s) that she raised as her own.
We've not told her mother yet, but choose to wait until the end, in the vain hopes of sparing her some pain. |
