“My mother made this decision too in spite of her advanced Alzheimer’s. After ten years of that at the age of 89 she simply had no more desire in her to be here.”
My MIL, my wife’s mother had a terrible and raging Alzheimer’s and went from getting a 100 on her driving test to not knowing where she lived and who her family members were in weeks.
She fell and broke her hip. During a lucid moment, she told her family no hospitals. So she went to good nursing home and a semi hospice.
After a couple of weeks, my wife’s SIL, a good RN told my wife, that her mother was about ready to pass on.
My wife flew back for a week and the morning before her flight, she stopped for one last visit with her mother. A small miracle happened, her mother woke up, recognized her and they had about 30 minutes of great discussion.
Then the Alzheimer’s took over. My wife’s brother drove my wife to the airport.
About 2 weeks later my wife’s mother died.
An update.
First I want to thank you all for the prayers. I really do and I know when there are two or more of you gathered in my name then the Spirit is in our midst and for that I am eternally grateful.
I did call 911 again and they sent the fire department out, I explained to the Captain she does not know what she is doing and they took her to the hospital. Finally. Hoping they will give her iv fluids and check her over. They got to do her blood pressure while she was here and it was normal. I do so hope she just needs hydrating and maybe an antibiotic.
Right now I’m waiting to hear from the hospital. She went in only a little over an hour ago.
