When it's time to go....

From Pa: "Carried {senile aunt who has no children} to Person {Memorial Hospital} then Duke {University Medical Center} last night about 10:30. She has had a massive heart attack. 4 major arteries {blocked} - stints nor balloons can work. BP was 205 over 90 before meds started to settle her down. She is stable under meds, without them she is pulling out the IV's. Pray that we are doing what is right. We have not let them put her on a machine. She has said many times she wants to go to {her husband who passed away a few months ago}. That is another good reason not to go for quad by-pass. Her mind is not right for a lifelong fight. I pray God will comfort her and show us if it is time to let her go."
