Thank you Baking, not to many people understand how we feel about letting some one pass on. Mom was diagnosed with MS in 97 with stage 3, but we figured she had it since 86.
In 2004 she had her first neck surgery then in 2006 she had to have another. The 2nd one didn't go good at all, she went septic with a nicked esophigous and went to emergency surgery where she died on the table twice with lack of oxogyn. She suffered with lots of depression and no quality of life. The doctors really didn't want ot help with all the physical pain that she had, to them it was all in her head. Bull Sh*t!!!! She lost the ablity to really walk and enjoy life as she became home bound unless going to the doctors. In her last few months she was on O2 most of the time. On June 24th (friday) we were turned in for a vunerable adult being miss treated by a friend that thought she needed to be in the hosp. The funny thing is when the cops and ambulance showed up they found now wrong doing but still wanted to take her in to the hosp. They bairly got her awake and asked her if she wanted to go and she mumbles F YOU and gave them the finger!!!! YHEA MOM!!! Her sister showed up that night to help. Then on Saturday she started really going down hill so her oldest brother came to see her, and at 1:05 sunday morning she passed on at home and with family just the way she wanted. We were able to keep her at home as I had power of atturney and she had a living will. With out the proper paper work we could have been charged with miss treatment and neglect. I am proud to have kept my word and allowing her to pass on. Just think we put animals down for being unwanted or very ill and no $ to pay for care. Yet we are willing to hold on to a persons life just because we don't want them to go and then watch them suffer by-themselves in a nursing home. Question... what is wrong with this picture. I have worked in nursing homes for many years and they are just drop off sites for the unwanted truthfully.
Sorry if I affend some people but I am very proud to have taken care of my mother myself and let her die in my arms just as she had brought me into this word and cradled me in her arms.

My grandma went through the same thing with her MIL (cops and others trying to portray her as the bad person), she said if she had wanted to have an assisted suicide she would have done it in a heartbeat, and i would do the same for her! My personal feelings are the same and think it is shameful and heartless the way our society feels they have to make the one we love suffer so we won't lose them!

I totally agree, Mom alway's said" were is Kovorkian when I need him the most". A friend of ours had ALS and the doctors caught wind that her husband was gonna take her to Switzerland for a assisted suciad and he notified the authorities so they took away thier passports. Now that is sad. Our doctors I believe in the name of science/medicine they are playing with mother nature/God with our right to die. Many people don't see it this way but I think personally think they are doing so to collect money from the perscription companies and insurance companies.

I'm glad your mom was able to go as she wanted. My daughter had SMA, which is similar to ALS but affects babies or children instead of adults. It was a very difficult time, and although the dr's were willing to let me let her go peacefully, they wouldn't allow me to take her home to let her pass there. I think everyone should have the right to choose what they think is best for themselves or the people they care for if they can't make the decision themselves. Death is personal, families and the dying person should have the final say, not dr's or judges IMO.

I'm glad you got to have that loast precious moment, just how you both wanted it. Many blessing and much love to you right now.

Julie - I'm sorry they didn't let you take your baby home to go gently unto that night.

Thank you Marty, it will be a year on the 26th so this will be the time that I close out her yahoo and facebook accounts.

Julie I am so sorry that they did that to you. I have no children, so I can only guess on how I would feel. I don't think it ever gets any easier but those moments are so prescous. Never forget that you are a great mommy for letting her go when it was her time.

Mine were medium size. Very calm but more protective than other breeds. Not nearly as noisy as the Chinese or Africans

Thanks Kevin!!!
