Thank you to Kittydoc & Chickcrazed for helping make my daughter's 4H project possible.  Terrific hatch. 8 out of 10 Bielefelder eggs hatched; 6 are female.  14 out of 15 blk/Lav Orpington eggs hatched.  Broody is doing well.

I would give anything to go back to last week when a lot of my energy went toward planning for chicks.  Life was normal & happy then.  At 3:30am Fri morning, my mom stopped breathing for a few minutes.  My poor father was there to witness everything.  The paramedics revived her, but only lower brain functions like reflexes came back.  Our family waited for days to see any signs of hope, but each day the brain activity changed & slowed.  My dad, 3 children, 12 grandchildren, & 6 great-grandchildren miss this amazing woman.  Many people stopped by to say Good Bye on Sun-Mon.  My mom always regretted not being there when her mom passed, so I knew it was important for my mom not to be alone until God called her home.  On Monday  at 5pm, the crowd thinned.  By 6pm my dad had to leave (too difficult to hear her breathing).  The next shift was running late, so my husband had to run home to tuck our kids into bed.  He called a friend to keep me company while he was away.  It was during that time between husband leaving & my friend arriving, that my mom passed while I held her hand.  

My mom & I spoke on the phone often.  So many words we shared & when the the docs recommended everyone say what needed to be said (final words), I had none.  Throughout the days I keep seeing things that I want tell mom about or all those little things that remind me of her.  These days have been so long, so I want to call home to speak with her for comfort.  Next week is her 80th birthday with Mother's Day soon after.  It's unbearable to think that I will only have her memories & not her hugs.  She was strong & in general good health.  Just one moment changed everything forever.

My sister also went into ICU last week.  She had a close call & had to fight with her docs so she could be released from the hospital to say good bye to Mom.  She lives with my parents &, unlike my mom, is in poor health.  My poor father is emotionally crushed & battling the same bronchitis.  They were married young & just celebrated their 62nd anniversary in Jan.  Mom was his world.

Please continue to pray for my family.  DH & I have been blessed with friends/neighbors who have provided meals & childcare, so I could stay at the hospital. I will not be posting for a while, but I wanted to share my feelings, b/c I no longer have my mom with whom to share.

Sorry for your loss

Faraday40 I also want to convey my deepest sympathies. So very sorry for your loss. You and all your family are in my prayers!
