Ach damn, V.

That is never fun. What happened?

Difficulty breathing, cold to the touch, not moving.

SonofV called the medics, BelovedDaughter called me. ER to inpatient, overnight minimum, unknown how much longer. On a BPAP machine (?) O2 sat was 33, desired number is 90 or more.

Wishing you and your family strength for the difficult time ahead. X

Was she on oxygen at home with that little nose tube?

Damn sorry V. Thoughts and prayers for you all.

I'm so sorry, BigV. As Limey said, wishing you and your family strength.

I'm sorry, V. Keeping you and yours in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry V.

Sorry V.

I'm sorry for your loss V.

As for the eulogy - if that's still relevant - try to remember endearing moments that would be characteristic of the person. IME in funerals that tends to shift people's focus from the social engagement/commitment level to their own personal stories, which actually improves the social engagement into a sense of togetherness - everyone feels affirmed about their loss and gain a sense that others are in the same boat.

Well, damn.

My kids spent the day with their mother watching the football game. An hour ago they were summoned to the hospital. Their mom has been revieving hospice care for about a month now. Tonight, she's in the hospital, in an oxygen tent. I've made my availability to be at the hospital known to my kids, but so far, I'm just on standby.

I'll be sleeping with one eye open though.

Damn, V. This was inevitable, but still its awful. Kids shouldn't lose their parents at that young an age. Thinking of you .... and them.
