My mom died without warning on Monday, Oct. 7. Her home-health nurse was visiting and had just changed her catheter. We were all talking and laughing about Disneyland, when out-of-the-blue my mom just inhaled deep and fell back onto her bed. My dad raced to her side to help her back up, but she was non-responsive. I called 911 as my dad and the home-health nurse started to move mom to the floor to perform CPR. The paramedics arrived in under 7 minutes and after 20 minutes of working on her she never responded to treatment. She was just gone.

On Tuesday, Oct. 8, the stress of the whole situation was just too much for my dad. He collapsed with low-level pneumonia and has been in the ICU in critical condition ever since. He's getting better a little at a time, but it's a slow recovery process. Prayers would be appreciated.
