Prayers up.

We need prayers!
My 95 year old mother, Virgina, did not wake up this morning. She is still only semi-responsive in the emergency room at Sutter Memorial Hospital. When I arrived there from Stockton at 10:30AM here blood pressure was 53 over 37 and her O2 saturation level was 62%. I took her hand, which was very cold, and said "Hi Mom!" and she opened one eye and looked at me. When I asked her how she felt she mumbled "Awful!"
She then went back to being only semi-responsive.
Her BP is now much better and O2 is up to 87% on 100% oxygen... But she is still out of it.
The diagnosis is double pneumonia... But there also may be congestive heart failure.
At her age, I just want her not to suffer... Whether she is called home to God or recovers. What I fear is the horrid middle ground where she winds up with no quality of life in a nursing home and doesn't know who she is, who her family is, or what is happening to her and lingers forever in a medical limbo. She has left orders for no extraordinary measures to save her... And we will honor that. So prayers are needed for the best resolution for her... But God's will be done.
Prayers for your mom and for you.
So sorry to hear this news, prayers that your mom has a peaceful journey home.
Prayers up.
Your dear Mother may soon be in peace, but her soul will always live. I pray for her comfort and for your family and you during this difficult time.
My prayers go out to you and your dear mother. May the end be peaceful as she is embraced by God.

I am so sorry to hear this and join in earnest prayer for her and you and all the loved ones!
Prayers on the way to you, Swordmaker. It is a blessing that you have had some time to spend with her now, and she knew you all were there for her. Keep talking to her, and praying with her, as I’m sure it is comforting to all of you. And, be sure to tell her that it’s ok for her to give up her burdens when she is ready to go.
Your mother has my prayers.
Joining in with prayers up for your mother, Virginia for a peaceful and quick passing and prayers for peace of heart for you and your family who remain behind.
Prayers for her and for you as well.
