[COLOR="Purple"]Thanks m,
The drive over was pure hell... Pittsburgh is always and forever under-construction and getting lost is part of the "thing" to do... plus we got involved in horrible traffic and got lost three times.
The good news is that mom looked a lot better than what I expected. She cant communicate much but is conscious. Havent thought much about the later stages of but this really brings it on.
The ICU staff was just amazing with the main nurse spending at least an hour with just us and really focused on taking care of all our questions and concerns. We were assured that none of this would have been done if the docs werent sure that mom wasnt gonna pull thru.
I didnt stay as it was pretty obvious that mom wasnt gonna be moved to the next therapeutic ward for at least another week so maybe Pittsburgh next week... time to save up for sushi dinner [/COLOR]
