Last Thursday, Victor's mom suffered a stroke. Her heart didn't beat on its own for 35 minutes. Because she did not have a DNR signed at the time, the doctors resusitated her, but she had already suffered severe anoxic injury. Her sons arrived, and the next day a little before 11am she was taken off the respirator and the medications that were keeping her blood pressure up. About 10 minutes later she stopped breathing.
The funeral service is this Saturday, with a viewing Friday evening. Kike and his wife, Esther, are in town for the week. There are a lot of details to work out (and funerals turn out to be very expensive). But the funeral home has been very good. All of her nurses were very kind. This came as quite a shock to my father-in-law, so if you could keep him in your prayers, we'd appreciate it. The rest of us are holding up okay.
Just wanted to let you know.
