Thank you all for your support.

My mother's health is beginning to deteriorate. The nurse was by this morning and her vital signs are strong but she has lost weight. In addition she is sleeping most of the time and eats very little.

Today I shipped the first boxes of my things back home. A week from today I'll be flying home.

Can't say as I'm relieved to be going home. Hell isn't exactly a good alternative to staying here.

Thanks again to all of you.
