Though you'd think I've been around here long enough that I wouldn't be, I'm blown away by your responses. Thank you. I love you all.
Well Old Fran is still hanging in there. The current strategy is to keep her stable until Monday. That's when all the experts will be back in the hospital again. With all that's going on with her they don't want to rush into anything that would do more harm than good.
First, do no harm.
She's been on a new drug that is supposed to repair the damage in some without surgery. Unfortunately an MRI this morning showed no improvement so far.
So things aren't looking good. It's getting hard to see a way for this to end well. And I'm an optimist...

Well the verdict is in: the dissection starts at the Iliac Crest (where the Aorta splits to feed the legs) and extends one foot up into the abdomen towards the heart.
No surgery. No stint. It's just too much of a risky with her lung issues.
She's been prone, unable to sit up because of the pain for 5 days now. They're talking about sending her up to rehab in the next day or so. I'm not sure what they are expecting.
So we're preparing ourselves now for the last dance. The hospital is assigning a case worker once she gets out of CCU and into rehab.
All we want now is to get her back home again. So she can be with the dogs and Grandkids. This will be the third Grandparent they've lost in the last four years.
2004 - My Dad George
2006 - Andrea's Dad Oliver
2008? - ...
Andrea's Dad passed peacefully holding the had of a Grand Daughter in the parlor of the addition they shared which is attached to our Kitchen. I guess Fran will go the same way. I just hope it's as peaceful as his passing.
Everyone is still holding out hope for a miracle but I just don't feel it.

Dennis, all I can say is miracle or no.. make memories while you can and make every day as much of a holiday as you can. Don't over do it.. but cherish the little things and TAKE PICS!
We love you, we'll give you strength as you need it to be strong for others. Give Andrea my love too.
We will be here for you no matter when you need us.

Sorry to hear this. We are at that age where we get more frequent reminders of the fragility of it all.

Dennis... although I am saddened by the suffering that you and your family are enduring at this time... I have a smile on my face knowing that your mother-in-law is blessed to have you and your family at this time in her life. We so often look for miracles in the form of complete recoveries and often overlook the glorious blessing and wonder of a family's love... Your mother-in-law is truly blessed to have you.
I hope she finds comfort and a respite from her pain soon and is granted many more years of life. I'm certain that she knows in her heart that she has been blessed with a beautiful and loving family.
with warm regards,
Tony

I'm with Tony on this one. You have a loving, cohesive family, and itsounds like you rally round when needed to most.
It is hard to let a loved one go- I know, I am coming up on my mother's 1st anniv of her death. The hole in my world left by my mother can be justified- it was time, at 82, and her smile had faded. The picture of overwhelming joy I saw on my mother's face as she knew she was slipping away let me know this IS what should be happening.
Frances seems to have that same spirit. She could very well decide this is NOT her time-you just never know.
All you need to do is make sure every day counts.and, remember, miracles DO happen.

Well I'd never have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Fran walked to my waiting car for the ride home today.
Like I said before, one tough old bird.
Looks like the combined vibes and prayers of family virtual and blood related worked! Thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts. We have her home again. We have what we all wanted.
She's back home with her dogs, our twin Bostons and her "girls", my daughters.
How long she has is open to question. If she doesn't aggravate it and keeps her BP and HR down she'll can stay out of trouble. Only time will tell.
But the important thing is that she is here now and that is all that counts.

Keep the faith, Dennis. My Mom's cheated the reaper at least three times. Heart irregularities, aneurism scare, and lupus. She's 84 now and has continuing health issues, but she just keeps keepin' on.
Those Depression-Era folks are tough as a pair of White-brand boots.
All the best,
