[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are thinking and doing your very best and are to be commended. Your mom is proud of you. She knows this isn't easy and she admires your strength, even if she can't articulate it. Continue to be her voice. There will come a day when you have to utter the most difficult "no" in your life - when the medical industrial machine professionals may want to push a plan/treatment/intervention which will do nothing to comfort your mom's life nor will prolong it. It is very difficult to say, "No. That is not what she would want and on her behalf, I am saying no." Then be at peace with your decision. My brother and I had to do this for our mom, and that moment, and saying that "no" will be in my memory forever. But I am at peace because I know that when my mom was healthy and vibrant, she always told us that she never wanted to live in such a condition. [/quote]
