Sloanie83 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Well mom got to come off the vent for about 6 hrs but she choked on her mucus and she isn't strong enough to cough them up her self. In the meeting this morning we decided we would take her off again, say our good bye's and make her comfotbale and let her go back home. I am back and forth with this. I want this all to be over so no more pain but I am not ready to lose my mom. Thank you all for all the wonderful information and responses. Thank you!

RandyW Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I know this will be so very hard to do, but... You are making the right decision for Mom. She will not be in Physical pain but you will be from doing this. She will always be watching over you and smiling down on you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Oh Sloanie, I just lost my dad 3 1/2 weeks ago. I know how painful this moment is. You are doing the right thing. You don't want your mom to suffer. When we let my dad go, we spent a lot of time telling him how much we loved him and that we would be okay. I really think it helped him go--and helped us find peace in the moment. I am new to this as well (and also on the younger side--I'm 32...) So PM me if you feel like talking. Best, Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev'sSister Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Sloan, I am sorry you are going through this right now. I just got through it with my sister. She mostly slept through it. She was at peace with everyone and with God when she left us. It is very hard to get through, but it is the right thing to do. Take care, Love, Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyn Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Sloan, What a terrible decision to have to make - it is so difficult. If I can offer you any words of advice, they would be these... Before you make any final decision, make sure you ask any questions you need too, make sure you have not a doubt in your mind that this is what you need to do. There is nothing worse than suffering with the "what ifs and should have dones"... I will be praying for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
