Mother is still hanging in there. Shes still and quiet--no pain. My sister came up yesterday and today and stayed a couple of hours--Friday I stayed all day and nite- because they thought she was fading--last nite I was going to come home and sleep but the storm knocked out the electricity -the generator wasnt strong enough to run everything so no ac in the building--I even called Oncor myself because they told the nursing home "we will put you on the list" I called them and said-I would think the nursing home and hospital will go to the top of the list-so I opened the window--got a newspaper and fanned my Mom till the electricity came back on. The generator keep the hall lights and oxygen going--got home at 1:30 a.m

Bless you Maggie. I know you did it because you loved her, but that was so sweet of you. I had decided if you didn't do an entry today, I was going to e-mail you tonight.
Thinking of you and sending prayers. It is good that she is not in pain. Stay strong.
Sorry Maggie...this is just so hard. Hang in there....prayers on the way
Maggie, I have been in the position of watching my mother fade. I'm sending many blessings your way. If she isn't in pain you are already blessed.

@SewWorthIt - am blessed that she isnt in pain--thats the best thing we could have hoped for
@Muzwah - Thank you for your prayers--we are just praying for her to go in peace
@TheSunnyC - Right-thats a great blessing-she isnt in pain--shes resting peacefully
@Maggietx1 - Don't forget to let folks take care of YOU too. And YOU take care of you!!
Grannyhummingbird gave some of the best advice, try hard to take care of yourself, much faces you ahead in the way of grief work. Prayers for you and your family.
I agree. You must take care of yourself. How stupid for them to only keep the hallways lit. I hope when you read this that you have had some rest. God's blessings be with you.
RYC I use coupons, but only for what I will use up. These people looked selfish to me. I noticed they had stores who gave double and triple back. We don't have that here. I talked to a Walmart cashier yesterday and asked if she had eouponers such as these and she does not. However I was waiting in line with two women and two children who gave the cashier a card. Each one bought one candy bar and in return, after the cashier took minutes typing in numbers, got hundreds of dollars in cash back. I was curious so I asked what that was about and she said LINK. I told her I could use one of those cards!! She said, "So would I!"
