 Sorry I'm so late seeing this. I'm so sorry (((hugs)))

Thanks again everyone.  My aunt had a really bad night Friday night and was taken back to the hospice Saturday morning.  All day yesterday she was getting up and laying down repeatedly no knowing what she was doing or where she was or who we were.  She was not saying anything coherent.  My mom and I got to the hospice around 6:30 last night and my other aunt had been with her all day helping her when she got up and down.  She finally rested for a couple of minutes, got up one more time, and then when she got back into bed, had a gran mal seizure.  That was so hard to see.  The nurses came into the room faster than anything and took over.  They gave her lots of meds, but she wasn't calming down.  I stayed until eleven last night and she was still very uncomfortable with a really high blood pressure.  The nurses didn't think she would make it through the night and I'm waiting to hear back from my mom, who stayed there, but hopefully she is sleeping. 

I hate seeing her go this way, as the nurses say she is most likely having a lot of pain in her head.  There are tumors in her brain as well, which is wha they believe caused all of this.  I will update again when I can.  Thank you all so much.

Oh, I'm so sorry she's having such a tough time.  I know how hard it is to watch someone you love deteriorate like this.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  ((((hugs))))

Thanks Jackie. 

The seizure affected her brain stem so she is unconscious/brain dead.  She is still breathing (on her own) and we are just waiting.  Yesterday was another awful and long day and today will be the same.  I got up at 4:30 this morning after having dreams about her all night and I just couldn't sleep anymore.  I wish the hospice was closer to my home, but it's about 25 minutes on weekends (which isn't really bad), but on the weekdays it can take much longer than that since I have to go through town and Pittsburgh traffic is just awful.  It is good being with family though, so it's good that everyone can be there.

This is the most incredibly hard time a family can go through.  Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, as well as your family.   ((((hugs))))
