The doctor's have told them 24-72 hours. She had a strock several months back and has been going down ever since. Right now she is just existed and waking up for a few minutes to talk a little. She will be much better off we know but of course it will still be hard. My mom is the youngest of 8 children and this will make the 5th sibling she has lost.

Prayers are appreciated for the whole family.
 
It's so hard to see your family leave....I'll be praying for her.

P.S.

This is a selfish request.

Luke has been having some delayed jealously where Cole is concerned. We had planned to have a day with just me, Russell and him on Saturday. My parents were going to keep Cole. We were taking him to ChuckeCheese and going shopping. He is so excited about it!

And I do not want to sound selfish but I am worried about him taking it wrong or getting upset if there is a delay when he has been talking about it all week. My next Saturday free is March 14th b/c I am have a show on the 7th and we have a birthday party to go. And Saturday is our only option to do something like this b/c Russell teaches during the week and we do not do things like this on Sunday to keep us out of church.
 
Jennifer that is not a selfish request your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. We had to do a little one on one time after Taylor was born due to Ben acting out.
 
I will be praying for the entire family.
 
Nothing at all selfish about wanting to protect your son's feelings. And, even when you know it's the best thing, it's hard to lose a loved one. I'll be praying for you all.
 
Prayers coming your way Jennifer for you and the family!
 
There is nothing selfish about your family. I will pray for you and your family.
 
Prayers for everyone.

Your not selfish - you are a momma bear - it's your job. :-)
