Deb, I''m so sorry that your mother has to go through this. She''s very lucky to have such a loving family to be there for her. In all of this, please remember to take care of yourself too. As a caretaker it''s very easy to neglect one''s own wellbeing. What your mom needs more than anything is for you to be healthy both physically and emotionally! My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

My grandmother died unexpectantly at age 92, and it was very hard. I know acquantinces probably thought well she was 92 what did you expect

I knew I wouldn''t be able to keep up with this thread! I am able to read everything, but I cannot respond to everything in order and it is making me crazy! I don''t want to jump ahead and respond to newer things before I respond to things posted earlier! (Oh the joys of obsessive-compulsive neurosis!)
Thank you, thing2of2; Diamond*Dana; MZ; coatimundi; Miranda; flower12; Deelight; Madam Bijoux; Girlrocks; and Dani. I appreciate it that each of you has posted and I enjoyed reading the message that each of you wrote. Thank you!
Late this afternoon my mother was discharged from the hospital to a nursing home/rehabilitation facility. She has now had two good days in the hospital: being lucid and being willing to eat. She has even had some ''physical therapy'', meager though it must be given how weak she is. Every movement of a muscle is a move in the right direction at this point! If she can remain free of the C-diff, there may be hope for her to build up some strength by eating and physical therapy. The trend has not been in this direction since she first contracted the C-diff, howvever.
