Hi ladies,
This has been the first of what I think will be several long days. After some improvements, my MIL's condition began to deteriorate. Before she went on the ventilator, she had created a DNR and she also clearly outlined the measures that she agreed to. She did not want to undergo the next level after her current one, and the doctors are all very concerned that she will only get worse in the current situation. The decision has been made to assess her again on Monday, and if she has not shown improvement, remove her mechanical life support. The fact that this is honoring her wishes doesn't make this process any easier.
My DH is planning to fly up there tomorrow. Technically, he still cannot even go in to see her because she is still considered contagious, but the hospital has indicated that they might make an exception as things come to a close.
Please pray for my DH, his brother, and their extended family. I think this is particularly hard for them when they might think further efforts could be successful, but her wishes will be honored.
Thank you.

My MIL passed on this afternoon. My DH sounded all right after. She was able to be surrounded not only by her children, but some of her siblings and her oldest grandchild.
Thank you for the prayers, ladies.
