Thank you

Thanks for the comments and messages dear friends. We got home about midnight and will go back 150 miles to LR this afternoon if nothing is different. The family has gathered there. We had some things we have to take care of so we came back last night, got a nights sleep in our bed and attended the animals who have missed us extremely.
My mother-in-law's condition is about the same. She is much stronger than any of us thought she was, though through each of these episodes, she becomes weaker and more confined. There was no indication that she was coming out yesterday, but she was not deteriorating either. Either way, it's difficult. It's similar to my father's last six months: cycling illness and recovery, thinking it's the end and then seeing it was only one more episode in a downward spiral.
My mother-in-law is an awesome woman who worked hard, lived simply and loved immensely. Her faith, character and integrity have blessed many through the years. She raised 2 admirable, character filled sons and 3 funny, giving, loving daughters. Her ethics and kindness are evident in their ideals and actions. A 2 hour trip is hardly a hardship for all that she has been and given.
Well, I'll read you again on the other side of this. Take care.
