Mother's vitals are stable. We're taking some time away from the hospital this morning. In spite of a good night's sleep, I sat down at my desk and realized how simply exhausted I am . . . how Bill and Tracy and Mark must also, certainly, be - utterly enervated.

@ St. Luke's Hospital ! Waiting for a peaceful transition. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
We've moved Mother to a palliative care room. Treatment consists of pain relief and other comfort measures. Mark Belisle is in St. Louis and here with us at the hospital.
@angelaglenn How bout we don't make architects use our room plan from $20 software & they don't make us use fake graphics from the same?
We took my mother off the ventilator last night. Nature is taking its course.
My mother has had a massive stroke. She's in surgery now and may or may not wake up.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Mary. I hope she recovers. - Anika
Sending prayers for your mother and your family, Mary. - joey
Have you heard anything? - Anika
Your mother is in my thoughts. - vicster
You're both in my thoughts and prayers. - Anne Bouey
She came out of surgery as well as could be expected and was on a ventilator when we went in to see her. The surgeon says the next 24 hours will decide - if she forms more clots, he's not inclined to go in after them - it would be pointless. If she doesn't, and her brain's swelling goes down and stays down, she could make a decent recovery. Best case would be pretty full cognitive... more... - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers, guys - very much appreciated. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
{{{hugs}}} I do hope you get some good news in the next 24 hours. - Anika
Hugs to your dad. - Anne Bouey
The real rock and treasure in all of this is my s-i-l, Tracy, who has done so much running around and getting things organized - even before the stroke. it's been clear for several weeks that they were going to need to make some changes in their living situation, and since she was the one who had the time and the sense of organization to actually get things done, she's been plowing ahead and doing stuff. She's really so much better than we all deserve. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
You are so fortunate to have someone like that in your family. - Anne Bouey
So sorry. We had a minor stroke scare in the family last week and that was horrible. I can't imagine what you are going through. Hold onto hope. I am thinking of you. - Rachel Lea Fox
i'm so sorry, try to be strong, for her, :( - chaz2b
Echoing Rachel, we're so sorry and we're really hoping for her and your whole family. - Kevin Fox
Just heard from brother Bill and SIL Tracy, who talked to the hospital. CT scan of Mother's brain shows that blood is continuing to accumulate. This is not good news.
=( I'm so sorry Mary... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Thanks, Tina. Working and talking to folks helps a lot. Amazing what great support our FFer peeps are. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
I'm sorry to hear this. How are you doing? And your dad? - Anne Bouey
Hey, Anika, I just answered your DM with a bunch of questions.
I'm hoping if I give a shout-out in the public feed it might get to you sooner than a week - server weirdness? - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF

Parents are out of their respective hospitals and in St. Luke's Rehab, where they'll be for the next 1-2 weeks. Mother has pneumonia; Dad was in a car wreck on October 16. They're both expected to recover completely and are making good progress.
