It's Vicki again with another update.  Mom is still in hospice and still in a coma.  She has not woken up since Saturday.  She refuses to let the doctors and nurses tell her when she is going to go.  Last Saturday they said 2 or 3 days.  Yesterday, five days later, they said less than 12 hours.  Now today, over 24 hours later she is still hanging on!  Nevertheless, she seems to get weaker each day.  Dad is tired and somewhat frustrated over his lack of being able to do anything to help her and all the uncertainty about what is going on.  He very much appreciates all the friends who have stopped by to help and just chat with him for a bit.  Thank you for your support!
