OK, that sounds dramatic right? Well this is what happened. My mom's friend Karen Luisi, my Aunt Nornie, her daughter-in-law Ida, my niece Monica were all at my house when the hospice nurse came.
My mom was resting on the big comfy chair in the living room and the hospice nurse says, "Your mother is about to expire let's get her to the bed, where we can make her comfortable."
So the next thing you know, everyone including me, is crying and we are in a hurry because we have just been told by the hospice nurse that her death is imminent. We get her positioned in bed and the hospice nurse leaves and my aunt who is a nurse says, "Well, isn't it nice she gets everyone all riled up and doesn't take another blood pressure, while she is laying down, and leaves!"
My Aunt Ruthie is driving from Nevada with her husband and they are in Kingsburg when I tell her to hurry, after all my mother is expiring right? She said they got to the corner near my home and she wanted her husband to let her out of the car, so she could run through the field to my house. I am glad that her husband Tim, calmed her down and convinced her to stay in the car until they pulled up in the driveway.
My mom continued to slip deeper into sleep. We could wake her, but she was not responding verbally or if she did it was small words and short sentences. My sister-in-law Robin, Aunt Ruthie decided they would sit up with my mom into the evening. I tried to get some rest but slept deep and hard, for only a short time.
