My mom passed away on January 27th after suffering a possible stroke or seizure. She had just come home from the hospital after receiving a feeding tube because she was continuing to lose weight. She had been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease around 2005. After undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation surgery in July of 2009, she declined rapidly. The surgery was supposed to reduce and/or eliminate many of her symptoms, but she lost most of the muscle control in her neck and was unable to hold her head up without assistance. She relied more and more on a walker to get around.
I pray she is with Jesus and is pain-free. I miss her terribly and want desperately to hear her voice. We will be holding a memorial service in Woodland Park, CO on February 20th. Dd and I will be flying back for that and will stay with my sister for the week.
