Thank you!
Rus and Connie, Just wanted to say thank you for your kind words and advice. I've taken everything to heart... I realize that I'm not Superman (as much as I'd like to be) and I'm just going to take this one day at a time. As of yesterday her breathing tube is out and her sense of humor is coming back. I'm going to give her a visit today and see if anything has changed. Again, thank you. -Erin P.S. Did any of you have to make some lifestyle changes like food choices or smoking? I have a feeling that that may be a decent- sized hurdle for me. I know I can't force her to change her ways (I have to admit that I've already thrown away her cigarettes... Am I awful?) but I'm sure tempted to. Know what I mean?
