Hi Annefoth, I was just reading this and wanted to say that I'm really sorry. I feel for you and hope that your mom is still with you and things turned around but wanted to send you hugs in case it didn't work out that way.
People can and should always have hope even if it is just a glimmer. Sorry the doctors are not being supportive of hope. How is your mom doing today?
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. That is a very hard thing to go through with our parents and I really feel for you. There is no good time but at the holidays is particularly tough.
The doctors are not giving a very good prognosis. But never know how things will turn out. What types of help are they trying to give her? Has she signed forms before this regarding intervention for her care? Do you have power of attorney?

It has been a day. How was she today?
