I was visiting my mother who was in ICU for a week after a serious operation. I was shocked when I went to her room the first time as they had her hooked up to a ventilator & other breathing machines in an induced coma (flashback to my husband after he had a stroke & didn't make it) which they brought her out of 2 days after, 2 weeks stay in hospital & about a month in rehab facility she's doing so much better & should return to a normal life once again. I'm just glad they didn't say she's too old to make a full recovery & she will live to see her 87th birthday in December. Someone needs to write a book on how to raise parents after the age of 80.
