Hospital just called [View all]

Last edited Fri Feb 21, 2025, 07:27 AM - Edit history (2)

My 95 year old mom has been having some health issues lately. Hospital called just as I
was leaving for my daily visit and said I better get up there, she might not last the night.

Was healthy & active 3 weeks ago. All Democratic thoughts, prayers, vibes needed.
She goes by Betty

ON EDIT
.......

Thank you all for the help, it did change her diagnosis timeline somewhat, unfortunately
she's headed to Hospice care for 3 days to 2 weeks. She had an amazing run getting up to
just shy of 96, very active in her church and loved getting up on the stage at the Senior
Center meal site everyday to tell the latest jokes she'd found. And never left a crossword
puzzle unfinished. Had hundreds of cats over the years at the farm. Always attributed
her long life to the many vitamins she took every day.

On the bright side she's looking forward to seeing my father and her 7 siblings she outlived.
And I'll miss her. Thank you all for the kind words.

ON EDIT #2

Received call at 1:35 am to get back to the hospital, got there 4 minutes too late , she was
already hugging Dad upstairs.
