mom made an attempt to use the bathroom on her own.

She was extremely weak, and in attempt to open the bathroom door,

she lost balance and fell; landing on her chest, and face. Dad found her face first on the ground when he walked back in. 

Barry came by and they called the ambulance to take her to Health Central hospital. She went kicking, she was not a fan of the hospital under any circumstances.

She found 2-3 broken ribs along with a colon infection....amongst her previous issues.

Mom was getting a little dementia in the hospital, seeing spiders and ants where there were none. Within this time, Misty, Todd's fiancé, would stay with her at night to make sure she was not alone, and so dad could keep himself healthy.

On the 19th, we found out her infection was spreading through her intestines and stomach. Mom was in extreme pain and discomfort, we were fighting trying to give her enough pain medication to make her comfortable, but not too much that would slow her blood pressure.

The put her in ICU at this point. Shortly after, they put her in CCU because they were having a hard time getting blood from her.

Late that night they had chosen to put her on a breathing tube because she was having problems on her own. She was still very aware and knowing what was happening. She fought the tube with everything she had, we all know she this was something she did not want. Though, dad had no choice, he did everything he could.

We stayed with her through that night not leaving her alone. Dad went home that night to try to get a couple hours of rest and to make sure he was prepared for more hours. During this time we were told to try to let her relax. The family that was there were resting in the waiting room, I went down to the cafeteria with some others.

 After about a half an hour of being away from the 5th floor where my mom was, it dawned on me that she could still be awake even through sedation. I ran up cause my bad feelings were strong. I peaked in her room, so I wouldn't wake her. But I immediately noticed she was not sleeping, she kept shooting her eyes open, almost in terror. I talked to her and let her know she's fighting good, and that we were always there. Though I somewhat panicked not knowing what she was trying to tell me. I didn't understand her communication with her eyes.

 I ran to get John and Todd to go in there to try to comfort her. They understood she was wanting the pain to go away, because of the tube down her throat, they strapped her arms down, this drove her crazy. She struggled to break free until she couldn't. At this point we didn't leave her side again. We called dad, he immediately came to ease her. She looked at him with everlasting love, he had always been her rock. Mom kept shaking her head, trying to tell us that it had become too much for her, and that she had to give up. In our ways we told her it would be ok, she can go see Scott.
