I tell ya, if we get another bomb dropped on us, I think we’ll just give it up. We found out this weekend that my mother-in-law is in the hospital with COPD (water on the lungs). It doesn’t look good, as she is on a breathing machine, and not awake and alert. It reminded me of my father. The docs said that when a patient is intubated it is never a good sign. If they don’t extubate her soon, I don’t think she will pull through. But, she is a fiesty ol woman, so if anyone can pull out of this it’s her. It’s just a damn shame to see her like that. She’s only 50 years old. ::sigh::
