Yesterday Mom continued to fail and became pretty much unresponsive for most of the day. Around 7pm last night she woke up a bit and we were able to communicate although it was very difficult to understand her. She has been receiving a lot of medication and has been on and off feverish and anxious.
Diva arrived at the airport at 8pm and Mom had pretty much shut down by then so there wasn't really an ability for her to respond to us although I am sure that she could still hear us.
Today has been pretty much the same. She has fallen in deeper and the only sign of life is her continued breathing, sometimes labored and sometimes a bit easier once medication has been administered. She seems to require more now to keep from becoming agitated although it doesn't appear to be directed at anything specific.
So Diva and I are sometimes sitting with her together or we take turns. Hospice is still here 24 hours and they take care of everything. We talk to her and have conversations around her because she loves company and people. Miriam was in San Diego for the day and stopped by to see Mom before she heads back up to Santa Monica tonight. We are talking over old times and including Mom in the conversation. I'm hopeful that she can still hear us although there is no response.
I promise to write first thing tomorrow when I see how she is doing so when everyone checks you will have an update. Thanks again to everyone for being concerned about all of us.
