Thanks, Lefty and JJJ. We are cautiously optimistic, but she’s been on a ventilator for a couple of weeks now, and what I’m reading is that after a certain point it just doesn’t get better.

Right now what is more on my mind is what C-19 is doing to the ordinary, every-day vagaries of life. My daughter-in-law’s mother died on Friday. She was in her 90s and deep into Alzheimer’s, so her death was certainly not pure tragedy. But her daughter could not be with her. Her husband, who is in hospice with kidney failure, could not be with her. My DIL had to get permission to visit her father, to tell him that his wife of 64 years was gone. There will be no funeral for God knows how long. I cannot hug my DIL, who is a much-loved part of a remarkable family. It sucks.

OMG I am so sorry. These are very tough times and many are suffering. I hope that your situation improves, and that you can find peace with your DIL's mother's passing and that the family can grieve together appropriately. We're all in this together and my thoughts are with you.
