Last edited Mon Mar 20, 2023, 08:05 AM - Edit history (2)
Went into congestive heart failure at the dialysis clinic. They got her back with CPR but beyond the magic 5 minute window. The doctors have already raised the issue of pulling the plug.
UPDATE:
CAT scan showed massive brain damage. I saw the images and the folds and fissures you would normally see were gone. The doctor described it as "mush" and not survivable. My daughter and I decided to let them pull the tubes and we went out for a few minutes. By the time we came back she was gone. The nurse said it took moments and she passed quietly.
She had endured years of dialysis and other medical issues.

(2,811 posts)The Koreans have a nice way they refer to this, they would say "she has returned". Their style is to throw a party the person would want to attend and it is supposed to be happy not sad, a celebration. Best wishes for a smooth time with the bueratic stuff and taking time for yourself. It is never easy.
