I thought I would end the story about my MIL because she was so close to death,. At this moment she is still hanging in there, unbelievable, she hasn't eaten in nearly two weeks, my wife is baffled. She has never seen this in 20 years as a nurse. I told her it was because she had such good care around the clock. My FIL's prayers is that she go now and be out of pain. It is getting difficult for everyone involved. Each day we think she will go, but she hasn't, I am sure I would have checked out long ago in such a condition. We also would like Kate get back home too, she has been gone long enough. Despite that, the kids and I are coping well. It did get a bit quiet yesterday around here, both kids had something to do after school till evening.

I have to wonder if my MIL was trying to hold on and for what. All her kids and grandkids have been by to see her while she was alert. Maybe she is scared, but I would have thought that the pain would make one feel otherwise. She has a strong heart, that is for sure. I told my wife if I thought she didn't like me, she was doing this to keep us apart, of course that is not the case, I think ;-)
