The doctor called me before we went to the hospital. He thought it best for her to spend the day at the hospital as he really didn't want to move her.
When we got to the hospital the chaplain was there to meet us. She had offered us a snack cart. Seems the cafeteria is shut down because there are no visitors to the hospital. So they made it into a convenience store. They could even buy toilet paper. And I just found that funny. Especially in light of the fact that some stores are still always out of toilet paper.
Mom basically slept most of the day. She would wake a bit every time they did something to her. But that was about all. A couple of times we made eye contact. I'm sure on some level she knew we were there.
Pat opted to go home to sleep and stick his head in the sand as he called it. It's a hard thing to know your mom is going to die.
