My mother had emergency surgery last night. She is still in the hospital, but she is doing just fine. The doctor asked my sister about what Mom wanted to be done in terms of resuscitation if something did not go so well. We went through this a few months back with Lorena’s father and it changed my perspective. The fact that natural death is a process was something that became very clear as we went through that. It seems like interrupting that process can be the source of a lot of pain and suffering as well as a precipitous reduction in the quality of life for both the person going through at the loved ones looking on.

Thinking of you all. Glad your mom is doing better.
Thanks Gene.
Oh your sweet little mama. Glad she came through ok but sorry she had to go through it. It is extra hard when there is such confusion even about daily life. Glad you and Lorena are near.
Ken, sometime when you have nothing else on your plate (hahaha) I would love to share with you about Tim and how well he is doing. You will be amazed.
Did your Mam no have her own own directives and wishes in place and thus the decisions would be hers?
Thank JoAnn. Now that we are back in Oregon for awhile, we are looking forward to getting together with Tim. We have heard that he is doing just great.
Margaret–Yes she did.
