I wish I had the energy to respond to each and everyone of you individually to thank you for your prayers and support, but I simply don''t. Please don''t think that indicates anything other than exhaustion, as all of your responses have been heartening and appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don''t have very good news. The neurologist determined today that Mike''s mom is in a persistent vegetative state. Since she had a very clear living will, and all of the children understood and respected her wishes, the doctors removed all life support measures at 8 PM this evening. She does of course have a morphine drip to help ease her. It is now in God''s hands as we wait for the inevitable. I tried to hold out as long as I could at the hospital tonight because I didn''t want to leave Mike, but I had to come home to take care of the dogs. We have been taking care of his mom''s dog as well, and I guess that will be permanent. She defintely knows something is wrong and is very nervous. Mike took a small stuffed toy to the hospital to keep with his mom for a while, so that it will pick up some of her scent and we can bring it back to Mopsy. He is so worried about the fact that she didn''t get to say goodbye...it breaks my heart.

Obviously, the wedding is definitely off, but I have to say that is is actually something of a relief to just know one way or the other what will happen and what needs to happen. I am not dealing with any of it yet, but I am sure that I will have to do so tomorrow.

I cannot express how grateful I am for all of your kind thoughts. Thank you for your support. I may be gone for a while as we sort all of this out, but I will likely be out there lurking and reading about all of your stories. Hopefully, I will be able to come back with some better news of my own in the future.

Thank you, PS friends.
