Personal update
Thanks for all your good wishes. After getting rapidly worse, my mom hit another plateau. She is now sleeping all but 5 minutes a day and not eating or drinking much. She is very comfortable, though, and seems to be peaceful and in no pain. She no longer responds to our presence.
The nurse on Monday thought she had about a week in this condition. I am back in San Diego for a few days then I go back to NH again.
As for me, I got really sick in NH with a chest cold which immediately went away upon my return to San Diego last night. Don't let me tell you that mental state doesn't influence physical state. I did more actual schoolwork today than I have in a week. (and of course, I continue to indirectly vent my anger and frustrations on the Oyster's Garter. So go ahead and enable me over there if you are so inclined.)
