DanaBrooke Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 My mom is very weak and can't swallow. She can no longer eat any foods or even water. Since her body is not digesting it. She is hooked up to an iv. She is really not responding but sometimes she will struggle and say I love you to us. The nurse came today and said the time is near. I really don't know what to write or how to express my feelings right now.. Just wanted to update you all and thank you for everything. _________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
