Disneyphile's mom

Talked to her half an hour ago. Pretty much what Neph said.

The nice thing about hospice vs. ICU is that they can create a much more comfortable environment; they can surround her with treasured items, no bright lights, and there will be a bed for Disneyphile's dad so he can stay in the room with her. Also hospice has some better drugs available to them which are focused more on preserving the quality of the life remaining, rather than the life itself (eg: can kill the pain better while hopefully allowing her to regain consciousness a bit more to spend some quality time with her family and friends). So they're going to 'party' a bit with her to celebrate her life and brighten up the time she has remaining.
