Got a call from Dr Alexander since I could not get uptown this morning waiting for internet technician.
Dr. A. is pretty concerned that Mom has lost her spark. I believe she has no more energy left in her to keep fighting. The pain in her arm is too much to bear and on top of not getting nourishment, she has nothing to fight with. I started thinking about her options. She is not responding, not swallowing well, lots of phlegm -
I did some research and these are signs the end is near for her.

I pray she is comfortable as there is not much more they can do if her INR does not come down, Chip and I are going up to see her and talk to doctors this afternoon. I am guessing, but it may be too late for the peg if she has lost her will.
I will blog more later this evening after meeting with the doctors.
