Steve, we all have you, your mom and your family in our prayers. I somewhat know how you feel, truely I do. Nearly 35 years ago my dad was diagnosed with Parkinsons.....My Dad was a very viberant man.....It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, and that was to watch the greatest man I've ever known to slowly wither....over the years he lost his ability of walk....and slowly lost the ability to speak....and finally he lost his eye sight. He was truely trapped in his body.....in the dark. All he had was his hearing......at the age of 90 yrs old, he finally gave up, or at least his body did....We had taken him to the hospital and we were told that his body was shutting down.....He went to sleep that evening, and was snoring his A$$ off the next day when I got there......he was very peaceful......he slept for 2 more days.....and then he was gone.

SO, Do whatever you can to spend as much time as you can whth your Mom.....it may be hard to see, I know, it was for me.....but in your heart, and hers, she will know you and that you are there for her.
