When we explained this to Mom she told us to give her a few days because she was going to get better. The doctor was not really very hopeful but said we could wait a day or two before making the decision. We were praying for her recovery but also preparing for the worst just in case. Miraculously, because there is no other explanation, she has made a full recovery, is walking, talking and preparing to attend my niece's wedding in September where all of the family will be together. Since we are all in different states now this will be our first real reunion at home in ten years. This was much too important an occasion for her to miss!
