This has been an issue with anesthesia and her....and she has woken up during surgery a few times previously....horrifying thought.
Some days I hate Google....especially today when I learned that death by dehydration takes a week or ten days.
Cancer sucks....this whole thing sucks.

Dear Jo, That's got to be so very hard on you. I'm guessing that it is not easy to find the right level of sedation without dosing her so much as to actually cause her death---dogone hopspital being afraid of lawsuits. Your Mom has been a strong warrior to survive for many years and now that she is emotionally ready to transition, her body is still not releasing. I pray for a peacefull releasing for her and a joyfull arrival on the other side. My prayers continue to be with you and yours. Jean
