Mom

I have some very bad news.
my mother has been put on life support as of the 27th of June, 2009.
She has a severe case of double pneumonia.
the Drs have her on a ventilator and she is sedated.
during the past week, she has been doing good, but a bit restless.
the Drs called us yesturday (3rd July-09), to talk about removing her from life support.
they tried over the past 3 days to get her off life support, but she almost immediately went into respiritory arrest. so they had to put her back on life support. Whaaa!

she has been having chronic pneumonia for over the past 3 years. she has been diagnosed with COPD (Cronic Obstructive Pulminary Disorder): basically it is a difficult time breathing. she was a smoker for 40 years, and she quite smoking 15 years ago, but she still had the damage done to her lungs by the smoking.
So, Simply put…. Dont Smoke… Its Stupid …...

Now, earlier today (4 July-09): my brother, myself, and my father talked about what we should do; leaving her on life support or removing her from life support.
Her wishes were to NOT be kept alive on Life Support.
so, after many tearfull words; we decided to have her removed from life support. Whaaa!
We did not make this decision lightly. me personally, I would not want to be kept alive on life support either; but that is my choice.
So tomorrow, Sunday (5 July-09), we (my brother, father and myself) are going to see mom and the Dr, and tell him our decision concerning our mothers life support.

One postive note: even though mom was sadated, she and dad got to celebrate there 60th wedding anniversary on the 2nd of July-09.

Also, I have been training to become an EMT, as of the 1st of May-09.
I will go into this in more detail as time permits.

!!!!! This SUCKS !!!!!
I miss her already.

I dont know what else to say.. I will let you know what happens and how things are tomorrow. I imagine, I will be writting much more often now.

for those of you that are wondering, yes, I am still with Bianca. Much has happened since I talked about her. I will write more about Bianca and I later.
