We need prayers!
My 95 year old mother, Virgina, did not wake up this morning. She is still only semi-responsive in the emergency room at Sutter Memorial Hospital. When I arrived there from Stockton at 10:30AM here blood pressure was 53 over 37 and her O2 saturation level was 62%. I took her hand, which was very cold, and said "Hi Mom!" and she opened one eye and looked at me. When I asked her how she felt she mumbled "Awful!"
She then went back to being only semi-responsive.
Her BP is now much better and O2 is up to 87% on 100% oxygen... But she is still out of it.
The diagnosis is double pneumonia... But there also may be congestive heart failure.
At her age, I just want her not to suffer... Whether she is called home to God or recovers. What I fear is the horrid middle ground where she winds up with no quality of life in a nursing home and doesn't know who she is, who her family is, or what is happening to her and lingers forever in a medical limbo. She has left orders for no extraordinary measures to save her... And we will honor that. So prayers are needed for the best resolution for her... But God's will be done.
Just stay close so you can keep an eye on her. You will have to speak for her and intercede for her. But you will want to be there with her anyway — and the time you spend with her now will be a lovely memory that you will cherish, later.

Wow, 95! Keep squeezing that hand and talking to her! Prayers up!
Prayers for your Mom. And for you and all her loved ones.
God will see you through this. His will be done.
Amen
Going through the age related transition of parents is very difficult for their children. I join you in prayer that your Mother not suffer pain or a protracted semi-conscious limbo. May the Lord grant her a full recovery or a peaceful transition, according to His will, in Jesus’ name.
