My Mom passed away a day before my birthday. Her brain scan showed no signs of activity. Apparently her heart had also stopped a couple of times before the end. She was an organ donor and her liver was donated before taken off of life support. We'll be flying back to Chicago in July to disperse the ashes (cremation).
I guess the toughest part was her condition upon first glance. They had a tough time with the breathing tube, so there was this Lecter-esque mechanism strapped to her face to hold the tube steady. Also eye patches were taped over her eyes.
Family members are handling it well. All the well wishes have helped.
Thank you again for all the thoughts and prayers...
