It's been a bad couple of days.

After being off the vent for three days, last night crazynurse went into respiratory distress, and was put back on the ventilator. She is only under light sedation, and when awake, she is aware of who we are and able to comprehend what's going on.

Her family and I are meeting with the hospice team tomorrow.

If there may be poetry in death, she would hang on until November 23rd. That way only one day will have to suck for the family. You see, 20 years ago on that date, her husband passed away.

She would like to die at home, in much the way her husband did, surrounded by friends and family, however, at this point, she may not survive the transport.
