    Well, it's turned for the worse. My Nana is on a by-pap machine which is basically keeping her alive. The doctors say there is no hope for her to get better and that she will remain like this. My dad, one of his sisters, and my Papa both want to take her off of the machine and let God do what he wants to do, but my dad's other two sisters want to keep her on the machine "just in case" she gets better. So right now it's a battle between them all. In the meantime my Nana is suffering. It's such a shame that family can't come together in a time like this.

    Even with the machine the doctors think she doesn't have much time, and it's just a matter of days before she passes. Please keep her in your thoughts that it will be easy on her.

    My parents said that what she is going through is very similar to what happened to her mother in the early 90s, and when it got to this point she passed on not too long after.

    I hope she doesn't realize her children are arguing over what to do. That is a tough situation and it's only made harder when everyone has differing thoughts. My thoughts are with you.

    I am sorry that the children are arguing about this. Your grandmother has lived a good and full life, it is time to let her pass with dignity and grace. You will all see her again someday.

    I am sorry, Sarah, I am just now seeing this thread for the first time.

    I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. Please know that I am here for you if needed. {{HUGS}}

    It is unfortunate that they are in a disagreement over this. Hopefully they will be able to let her pass without any arguments.

    They removed the by-pap machine the night before last. We haven't heard from my dad this morning but they thought last night would be the night. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.
