Come to Jesus meeting

Here's the update on my mom: She had fallen outside a few weeks ago and the part time home health aide reported the incident to my mother's doctor. He then sent his head nurse to do a home check. KP had known my mom from mom's 20 yrs. of volunteer work with Hospice. KP called me at work last week and said that the doctor and she think that mom will need Hospice care at this point. I called my middle brother, P, and suggested we have a come to Jesus meeting with the other two brothers and Dad as he was resisting the doctor's suggestion. We all met on Saturday and decided that Hospice would be the best solution as Medicare pays 100% of the cost and mom would get to remain at home and die with dignity. The meeting actually went very well (I was worried that it wouldn't). While there I bathed mom and cleaned up the bedroom and upstairs bathroom as she had peed all over the place. I was also able to get her to eat breakfast and drink fluids as she usually won't eat. Since I stayed until Sunday afternoon, I went down to the lake to swim one last time for the year. Groucho went with me and went into the woods and came out in camoflage! He was covered from head to paw in green prickers! That tooks some time to get all of those tiny prickers out! They were even in his ears! It still amazes me that while mom can't remember our names, she knows my dog's name!
