JTullock's Mother passed away
 
Today I received word that my mothers health is failing. She has been in a bad way for a while but it seems she has taken a turn for the worse. She is 50 yrs young and has been sick most of the past 7 years. She has several illnesses, some of which would require a heart and lung transplant. She is not any donors list because the severity of the other thing she has could make it near impossible for any of the transplants to take sucessfully. Right now she is on a respirator because her co2 levels are very high. If they take her off she might aspirate and slip into a comma or going into breathing attack and pass on. She does not wants to live by machine or have a trach, which is the other option. She has been taking up to 27 pills per day for well over 5 years.

My mothers name is Debbie Tullock and she lives in Knoxville, Tn. While I am there I will not have access to AFF. Though I might have CC1 update some of you. I am leaving in the early morning to go there to be with her and the rest of my family. Please pray for us in the tought time of decision. We have to decside whether to obey her wishes or keep her alive. Please pray that God directs us to make the correct choice.

I appreciate all of my AFF family even though I have not been apart of you all but almost a year you all are important to me, just ask my wife. LOL

I hate to hear this JT. that's way to young to have to endure so much for so long. I guess women can take pain a lot more then men-I know i would have been dead and gone if it were me.
we will certainly be in prayer today for her AND for you !

JT, I will pray and have prayed. Please, be strong in the Lord in all this.

JTullock,

Praying for you and your family. This is indeed a difficult decision. You might take it from the standpoint of what your mother wants. This is the reason for Living Wills when you are in your right mind.

As a geriatric social worker for over 5 years I saw the will of the parent overturned because the children were afraid to let the parent go. It needs to be about your mother and not about you.

I will pray that God direct your path and give you wisdom at this time.

In Jesus name, Rhoni

JT, you will surely be in my daily prayers.

You, your mother and your family.
