Another down-cycle
Grandma had stabilized over the last several weeks, but is in the midst of another down-cycle. Her lungs are filling with liquid again, and the doctors are worried she won't make it beyond a week.

Dad called me at work today and asked me to setup some plane tickets for him, as she wants him out there. So I got him some tickets to fly out tomorrow night.


Update, 11 June
Spoke to dad, and he was with grandma in AZ. She wants to pull the plug while dad is there. Dad is scheduled to come back on Wednesday, so that means she may only have a few days left. It also means I could be heading to AZ with kids myself in a few days.


Update, 12 June
She's been moved to hospice care. She will receive no further medication, and no more dialysis. And she has a signed the "do not resuscitate" paperwork. So it is only a matter of time.

Darby heard me getting the update from dad. And she cried for ten minutes.

Principally intended for use by our friends and families, our news blog is sometimes a record of our memorable family moments, and sometimes a place for me to rant about something or other (usually inconsequential). By reading these accounts, you agree not to be offended, and not to use this information against us in any way. :)
