choice
to move Mom to a private room, so we can be with her 24/7 until her body gives in, until God takes her away from us...
or to let Mom stay in the sterile conditions of the ICU, where the clinical treatment of doctors and nurses and aides will be available to her 24/7, while her kids and the family can only visit her at 10minutes per schedule, 4 times a day.
i never imagined i would be facing this decision this early on in my life.
my youngest brother is only 13.
rauf is only 1.
but reality bites:
my Mom's kidneys are failing (or have failed). dialysis is out because her blood pressure, which ranges only from 70/30 - 60/20, is too low. her heart might not be able to handle more stress.
realities. miracles.
they are colliding, conflicting worlds.
God help us.
