update

I haven't been around the boards much since I signed up for this site. Everything is moving pretty fast around me. Over the past week my mom has become even more confused and her coherent times have become so few and far between. She has also been in the hospital since last Monday(8/14). She got an infection in her wound site from her masectomy. My aunt, my sister, and I had a meeting with her doctor and he told us that it is a matter of "weeks to months". Has anyone ever heard this kind of prognosis before? He told us that he didn't believe that it was "days to months" but he could never be certain. I'm uncertain about everything and while my aunt, my sister, and I are close to being on the same page I am not quite sure what I really think about everything. It has come down to Powers of Attourney and Medical POAs and everything that was my mom has ceased to exist and I feel like I am going to lose her twice. She is no longer the mother that I remember from childhood and no longer the confidant I had gained in the few years I have had with her since I graduated high school. It seems as though she is already gone and I miss her so. Watching her wither away is killing me inside.
Sorry to ramble on...
I hope all is well for everyone and know that all of you are in my thoughts throughout my days.
