I just returned to the hospital in New Jersey after spending the weekend with my family in Baltimore (Bill remained with my mother). I was anxious to observe any changes in her condition.
I wish I had better news. Her vital signs are stable, but she is unconscious and remains on a ventilator and feeding tube. Her face is emotionless. Fidgety and antsy last Monday, her body is now quiet and inert, each day relaxing deeper into the bed. Her life is slowly slipping away.
Bill and I are beginning to prepare for the end, honoring her wish to depart in peace with dignity. We are so sad to lose this kind, selfless and loving woman, our mother.

Tom and Bill,
We are sorry to hear the bad news about Aunt Liz. We have notified our sons and we'll all keep her in our prayers.
We will be watching the blog for further updates.
