For those that have followed along with some of my Prayer requests for my 94 yr old Mother.
My Sister, just called me and broke down on the phone. Mom is being removed from the Rehab facility by Ambulance for severe Pneumonia and Parkinson's Induced Hallucinations and Paranoia.
She will be placed in a Step Down Unit.
My Sister sobbing, I told her If I ever get to that point, it's time to go. She agreed. We have all been nightly Praying for that. My Sister - "This has been Hell."
Spoke to my Mom, last several days. She has Hallucinated and insisted/telling my Sister that I am Dead. My Sister got me on the phone, several times with her, to show her I was not. It was very chaotic on the phone w/her yesterday. It's just Sad.
Extreme NE TN/W NC ya'll. 😁

Prayers for you and your family Ken. My mom passed away last month, so I know what you're battling.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I feel for you Ken. Recently, my aunt made 100 & then went down hill. In the end she didn't know us. It's a sad place to be.
I feel for your family and just keep the prayers going
Not easy to deal with
My MIL had similar issues I would pretend to be her oldest son a few times in her last days we both had deep voices and she had went blind .
But did not know her son had died
Prayers from here, it's a tough road to travel.
Prayers for all of you Ken.

Thank You All. Your Support, Comments, Good Wishes and Prayers have been a Great Help through this.
I share more of myself here, than anywhere. It has been a big help.
*In some ways, this long drawn out process has been more cruel/difficult than a rapid passing.
I've been Praying to God/Jesus recently, just to "Please, Take Me Quickly, When It Is Time."
Extreme NE TN/W NC ya'll. 😁
Prayers my brother. Please know that we all have your back with our thoughts and prayers. If you need anything, please ask. Oak
That's just a shame, and sad. Been in very similar situation with wife's folks. Prayers.
Prayers for you and your mom.
Prayers for you and yours Ken....
Prayers from here, my friend.
So sad to here, sounds like a new body for her is not far off.
Will keep you and yours in my prayers.
Prayers from Colorado, Ken.

been through similar, stay strong sir .prayers sent
My mother had dementia, and my father had Alzheimer's, I was in your shoes with both of my parents and my stepfather. It's not easy, but you just do what needs to be done, and bury them when it's over. The way my memory has deteriorated, I might be in the same fix as they were.

Prayers sent. My mom was in an alternative world where snakes chased little people around the potted plants in her room for roughly a year - then suddenly went back to her normal self and didn't even remember I had been visiting. You just never know.
Prayers continue
Prayers from SW Virginia, Ken.
Thank you all.
Just received a text from my Sister. Mom rested peacefully last night. They have all the monitors off so she can rest. My Sister is saying She is not really waking up any more even when people are talking to her.
Extreme NE TN/W NC ya'll. 😁
Sadly it's been my experience that when they get to that stage the end is near. When my stepfather got to that point I held his hand and talked to him, and every time he heard my voice he raised his eyebrows, so I knew he heard me.
You might try that. I've been through this 4 times with my parents and my step-parents. It doesn't get any easier.
You and your sister have done all you can, and can take solace that her pain will soon be over.

Wish I had an answer or words to take this feeling of chaos go away. I can only say I’m sorry, and with the help of the lord you and your family will get though this time of feeling helpless. I will pray that are Heavenly Father will touch and comfort her, and be with you and your family.
Sister just texted, Mom is being sedated and moved from the Step Down unit at the Hospital, to a Hospice bed at the same Hospital. (Wake Forest.)
It must take "Special People," to be able to work there. God Bless these Angels on Earth.
Extreme NE TN/W NC ya'll. 😁
Ken, if it comes to that, Good Samaritan is a great hospice provider. The were wonderful when my daughter passed.
I don't know if they serve your area.
Dr. Saying perhaps 3-6 days. Hard to say.
Personally, I consider it a Blessing. Her Quality of Life has degraded to such a point, (if it were me) just let me go.
She can finally be with my Dad, who is waiting for her.
Extreme NE TN/W NC ya'll. 😁
Never easy for us left behind, but it's time for her to go home. Let her know it is ok to go. Prayers.
I hope you can be with her when she passes. It was very helpful to me to be with my mother.

Praying that your moms remaining days are peaceful
My Sister just texted me. "Mom just took her last breath, while I was holding her hand."
It is a Blessing.
Extreme NE TN/W NC ya'll. 😁
Prayers for your mom, you, and your family Ken.
Prayers sent from our family
Sorry for your loss.
We are here for you brother. Thank you for texting me , to let me know. Please be well. Love ya, Oakie
My prayers are for you and your sister and any other family as well Ken. I know how painful this is, having experienced it a few times. Know that your Mother is in a better place and no longer suffering any pain and sorrow. God will take good care of her in her new life. May he be with you all.
Ken, I'm proud of the way you and your sister handled the situation. So many old folks die alone.
She's now free from pain and any other issues she had.
Thank you ALL. Tough to type just now.
Your my Brother @Oakie/John. Thank You for being there.
Extreme NE TN/W NC ya'll. 😁
sorry to hear Ken, but at least you know her suffering is over.
You all mean more to me, than you probably realize.
Thank You.

Prayers Ken.
I'm glad she crossed the bar safely.
Love you.
