And my mom's still hanging on

My theory is that she was so looking forward to watching the Olympics with us that she's enjoying doing just that.

Late at night at the hospital. My brother and sister have gone home but I'm staying on for awhile. We arrived around 9am and things looked bad. Just about entirely unresponsive and breathing so irregular. Though when we each greeted her when we came in, it seemed like she knew us. The hospice nurse thought we were so near the end. My brother had planned to go home for a bit but decided to stay. Breathing about two times/minute. But she's just kept on doing what she's doing. All Day. Pretty sson, we were just all sitting around watching the olympics.

Some drama during the day of course. But after 14 straight hours and 4+ days...

I guess I will let my mom do her thing and we will check in the morning. She's a good woman who always cared deeply about the community. If something needed to be done, she did it. Not always the glory tasks either.
