208
We signed the paperwork today, got a room...there were actually several rooms open, and we got to see them all and pick one. It all seems surreal. I can't believe we are sitting here at this table, signing documents...for mom to live in a "new home." We got asked hard questions..if something should happen and she needs to be resuscitated, do they resuscitate her or not. What kind of question is that? I mean I know that its one that they have to ask and need to know...but man...thankfully we get to think about that one...(we are leaning towards resuscitate her.) I think that's what she would want....especially at her age. How do we tell her...we were given suggestions tonight and told to think about it, that its a decision that only we can make....but man...its hard. And what if we make the wrong decision and it just goes bad? What do we do then? I just can't believe that this is where we are...I never thought things would be like this...
