Welcome back!
My mother-in-law is alive. Today she will be moved to a nursing home in Temple, TX. for rehabilitation.
The people at the hospice are calling her a 79 year old miracle baby. Her kidneys have started to function again. I am not sure how much, but they are doing something.

Mom is going away.
We have been told that her kidneys have stopped functioning completely. We have no idea just how long her leaving will take. Already it have taken longer than the doctors suspected. On the first of May, we were told that she had about 2 weeks. Obviously it is [...]

One time she was wanting [...]
