So this is what 10C is like in the middle of the North American night…
Looks like I'll be staying up all night with my mother-in-law so my wife can get some sleep, of which she hasn't had any for two days.
Things are progressing--we're just trying to keep Mom comfortable at this point. The waiting game continues…
An update…
My mother-in-law has stabilized somewhat, but isn't out of the woods. When I got here yesterday, she was breathing very hard and starting to turn bluish-purple from lack of oxygen in her blood (and this was while she was also on oxygen!). The hospice nurse thought it was probably a matter of hours or a day or two at most. However, after a few hours her color started to improve, and she stabilized during the night. Nobody knows why.
I went home and got a couple of hours' sleep, but my wife was here all night. My brother-in-law is also here from Orange County, so if anything happens both of her kids are here.
And so we continue the watch…
@matigo We're both here. Her brother will be here in a few hours (he's a hundred or so miles south of here, on the wrong side of Los Angeles County.
Looks like my mother-in-law, Wilma, who turned 99 last month, may pass tonight or tomorrow. Things happened quickly this afternoon. Prayers and good thoughts are most appreciated.
@tewha I love me some open-source for certain things--hell, I'm one of the few people that really likes LibreOffice. ;-) But so often, open-source just becomes one more religious war, and ain't nobody got time for that.
