My mom

My mom, Ruby, is slowly going down hill. She is 83, and has lived at a
nursing home for the last 5.5 years. Yesterday when I went to visit
her the nurse called me aside and told me that her breathing had
changed, and that she didn't have much time. :( I called my brothers

Many purrs for your mom, and for you. I went through this with my
grandmother earlier this year and I know how hard it is.

and sisters, and told them what was going on, and went back down to be
with her. My niece Linda came to stay with me, and we held mom's hand,
and talked to her. She had episodes of apnea, and shallow breathing.
This went on till about 10:30pm. Then, she started to rally, and her
breathing became regular (but fast, 30bpm), and I asked her if she
wanted us to go home. She said yes. I then asked her if 'they' told
her to stay, and she said yes. She is still here, but I think it is
going to be a rough few days/weeks - don't rightly know. I am
extremely tired, but we will get through this, even if it is one
minute at a time. She is an avid cat lover, so she would love any
purrs sent her way.
