Don't think she's gonna survive this one. She's had pneumonia before, after their car accident that paralyzed her her heart was so beat up the doctors issued a DNR. She survived that.
Being on a ventilator now with basically 20%lung function...whole new complication.
Appreciate the thoughts and prayers. She's a tough ole broad and I hope she still has the will and fight in her Doesnt sound good. Sometimes people get tired of fighting and decide there is a better place to be. God bless. I think she's at that point.

We stayed with my mom for about 1 1/2 years as she fought pancreatic cancer.
You are a good son for doing all that you can for your mother.
May Peace and Blessings be upon you, her and your family as you help her in every way that you can.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

We moved from AK back to MI to take care of her. First time our hands are tied and nothing we can do. I'm a realist and can't see a good ending. Can't even be with her cuz of the scare. My focus now is my dad, they have been married 55 years....

Wow. I'm so sorry and I hope she pulls out of it. You're a good kid for thinking of your dad.

Did she every get her appointment for those monoclonals ?
I cant believe they were going to have to make her wait and burn those couple of days.
I would have got on the phone and every place I could, If’n I had to drive 400 miles over night to another major pop center I would have.

We gave them various options on where to get the treatments, even made an appointment but they ignored it . Now she's in ICU on a ventilator. Old people are stubborn. We just went grocery shopping for my dad. He's old school pushing 80. No emotion, he could be shot 7 times and tell you he's fine. Frustrating.

I let my mother slip away, dad was overwhelmed and exhausted from caring for her
She was on lots of psych meds and was physically failing too. But only due to a few small things that piled up abruptly. Which I think could have been resolved.
Thinking back now, I would have sacked her up like the A Team did BA Baracus and stuffed her in a van and hauled her to Mayo Clinic. She was stubborn too but 55 was too young.

I’ve been thinking about your mom since reading this a few days ago and you have all been in my prayers. I’m sorry to hear that your mom has taken a more serious turn. I don’t have the words to express my sympathy. I lost my mom to sepsis a few years ago. It was a total shock to us since one minute she was doing great and the next we were discussing disconnecting her from the ventilator.
May God give you all peace and comfort.

I hope she pulls it out.
In hindsight and not trying to be a butt. However an older person semi invalid state in a sick condition with fever, might not be the best person to medically advocate for herself.
I wish her comfort.
