I’m autistic and I’m an only child. I don’t have many friends, I don’t have a partner or kids and my biggest fear is losing my mom. I know that day will come but every time I think about it, it destroys me, I cry like a baby even though I’m 31. I can’t imagine how you’re feeling, Andrea. I was crying when you were talking to your mom. Cherish every moment you have with her. Hugs to you all ❤
I'm sorry. I have a 16-year-old with autism and it is my biggest fear for him although he has siblings. I worry that they will not be able to care for him financially because they can barely financially support themselves. He is high functioning, but he has his preferences and needs and I know only I truly know what bothers him and what helps him. I cry myself to sleep every single night thinking about it. I wish I could help every single person in this world with this struggle....I wish I could help them never be afraid to feel alone. I know it's of little solace to you....but when that time should come, know you have people that get it and care.
When we die we are sleeping, Jesus words to Lazarus was “Lazarus…wake up”. There will be a resurrection of all those dear to us during Jesus Christ Government or “Kingdom of God”, soon coming, and this kingdom will make of this earth a global paradise where no one will ever suffer again and death will not exist anymore. It’s all in God’s word, and God does not lie. All those that put faith in the Good News of this Kingdom will be there when our loved ones wake up and we will see them again and receive them back to life again in paradise. Matthew 24:14.

Andrea, this has to be the hardest thing you and your family are going through 🙏. As a long time viewer it was hard for me to watch your sweet family suffering . 🫂🫂🫂🫂….Sending my prayers for you and your sweet family. 🙏♥️🙏
@@FoolyLivingeverything will be ok Andrea, we're all here for you ❤️ I heard a beautiful phrase "everything will be alright in the end, and if it's not alright, it's not yet the end 🙏
Oh Andrea my heart breaks for you 💔..... Raphael said, "we wish you were well Grandma!" And I broke!!!! Your Mom is so loved. God be with her at that moment and for eternity.
😢I am so sorry for what you are going through, It is One of the hardest parts of Life we have to go through, I will continue to pray for you and sending Love and Hugs ❤
So sorry Andrea ❤, I cried right with you 😢 I lost my mother 5 years ago now ,but seems like yesterday ! It’s really important that you talked to your mother this whole time that she’s been in a coma ,like say , they can hear everything you say ! I’m praying when Hospice takes your mothers respirator out , that she can breath on her own and miraculously recovers fast w/ no lingering health problems , and makes a full recovery! Miracles do happen ! All the prayers that everyone has been saying for your mother and family are strong , God is good . What ever the outcome , your mother knows she was greatly loved by you , your family , and all your UA-cam family . Prayers here will continue for your mother , you , and your family . Sending big hugs and lots and lots of love ❤
I am sooo sorry for your mom being sick I been watching your channel for a while and I love your family ur a great mama I was with my granny who raised me when she was passing the hardest thing I have ever had to witness in my life
Andrea, I'm so sad for what you and your family are going through right now. 😢 your Mom is definitely in there! I got excited when I saw her feeling around with her tongue to stick it out! She is in my thoughts and prayers every day and I keep those little candles lit for her, your Dad, and the rest of your family. I love you guys! ❤❤❤❤❤
You’re such a sweetheart and I understand how you feel❤️ I’ve worked in a hospital and I’ve dealt with a lot of family members that won’t accept the situation, it’s normal and loosing ones mom is unbearable! I can assure you that not all doctors and nurses are liers and indifferent and only cares about the money.. they’re just more realistic about what’s happening😘
I'm so sorry!!! My heart breaks for you! I agree on the lies. Experienced it with my grandmother and now my mom. Hang in there. Sending prayers for strength! Love to you all from Wisconsin!
Bless you all. This is so hard. I’m glad that your children are with you, Grandma is hearing you, just struggling to respond. I’m glad that you’re ‘on the ball,’ and aware of the medical gaslighting. You can gently moisturiser Grandma’s skin, it might help keep it stronger and intact. EDS, of course, means extra care when removing adhesive dressings. (The nurses need to be gentle) Don’t forget your needs, as well as Grandma’s needs. Try to do ‘self care’ for yourselves - you’ll be more resilient. EDS’ers bruise easily, another EDS ‘thing!’ As Abigail’s IV was removed, if it happens again, add pressure for a few minutes after to help prevent bruising next time. (I’ve got Classical EDS) Sending you love and encouragement. X
Andrea I am so sorry I know what you’re going through. My mother was put on Hospice last year. She went to be with the Lord on Jan.4,23. You are absolutely right about the hospitals. You have to have a watchful eye if a love one ends up in the hospital . We learned this lesson ten years ago when my father passed. Praying for your family. God bless
Andrea and family, I am so very sorry you are having to go through this and I understand what you are going through, I had to deal with this myself here in North Carolina with my Grandma. It was just my uncle and I having to fight for her after she had a stroke (she suffered with strokes for years) and slipped into a coma. Nobody cared and we did unfortunately lose her when she was sent to hospice. I do know that no matter what anyone says, there isn't going to be comfort even from those who've gone though similar because it just hurts so bad. I really hope that Esther pulls through this. Praying for all of you. Not that it'll help much, but something that got me through everything at least in terms of taking my mind off what all was/happened, was to play games, I just played on my PlayStation and PC and it helped, just thought I'd mention that since you all play games too. Prayers and hugs from a fellow gamer in North Carolina.
I am so so sorry, Andrea! I'm also sorry I cannot watch as this bring back some horrible memories for me. I just wish you were not having to go through this. I understand you totally! Hugs to you all!
Oh Andrea I am so so sorry I feel your pain ,I nursed my mother until the end at home,.. I was 39 she was 70 hardest thing I have ever done it’s so hard hugs and prayers my darling
I’m am so sorry Andrea. My heart goes out to you. I went through hospice with my sister, my mom & my dad. Sister had cancer in 2017, moms had Alzheimer’s 2020 and Dad had dementia . He just passed in January.💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜
Andrea I am so sorry for what you and your family are going through. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. And sadly I agree about the drs and staff lying to you. I have been through similar situations with a few of my loved ones. My heart hurts for you Andrea especially. Watching you and your mom always doing things together and spending time together really has made me think of me and my mom. ❤ The special bond that you both have with each other. I think it is so sweet when Abigail and Rafael talk to Grandma. And I know watching your mom like this is so hard.
Hi, Andrea. I’m I silent viewer and have been watching your channel for many years. I just want to tell you that you are an amazing daughter, mother and wife. You are so selfless and watching the love and affection you have given to your mum whilst she has been in such a traumatic state has been absolutely heartbreaking yet so wholesome. I pray Esther pulls through this. Stay strong. Keep hope. Keep pushing. Sending so much love from England ❤❤❤
im so sorry, my grandpa just passed away september of 2022 n this video reminded me so much of it all, i feel for you n your kids really, i wish nothing but the best for all of you🙏🏻💕
I’m so sorry, I know this is a tough time. I hope things turn around for the better. I’ve been thru similar with my mom already and if you have any questions, I’m here. It was a long process for sure. All my love
God Bless you all. I Pray for God to give you strength. Strength to do what you think is right. Strength to get through the days ahead. Sending love & hugs & many Prayers 🙏🙏🙏
My heart goes out to you and your family. I've been there. Nurses overdosing to where the respiratory therapist couldn't wein her off the ventilator. She was in a nursing home far away from our homes. It was a nightmare. Finally they worked to get her out of there. So we would leave them alone. She finally got to come home. Make sure they are not over dosing her to where she can't wake up. They do that so that they don't have to bother with them. And mom was always a good patient. And kind to the nurses all her life. Mom didn't have it in her to be mean. It's a sad state we live in when those paid to take care of others could care less. This is a very short version of what all went on there. God bless. Sent up prayers.
I know what you went through, believe me. I know! I didnt know until this happened to my mom. She worked all her life and pays for health insurance. She thought she was safe. I know.... but you dont know what you dont know, and I hope to bring awareness to the heartlessness that goes on in hospitals. No, not everyone is like this, but moreso than not from what I've found, and I'm sure you experienced exactly the same thing and you feel absolutely POWERLESS. I cannot be there 24/7. The night nurses at the first hospital would crank up the babysitting juice at night and I called one night and asked how she was and the nurse told me that shes sedated because she was pulling at her wires and cords. I said, Did she wake up????? SHES IN A COMA!!!!! That did me in right there.... Just did me in... I am so sorry for anyone having to go through this. It is a nightmare because you are literally stuck and helpless.
@@FoolyLiving yes you are and your at the mercy of them and government. My dad, sister and I would go twice through the week. And never the same days so they wouldn't know when we were coming. Then on the weekends my brother's and dad would go. When I would leave, which I hated to do, I would have to put the place and mom out of my mind. I know it sounds heartless, but for my own sanity I had to. Thank God my doctor called me in something for my anxiety, cause without that I would have really been hurting. And it wasn't like we could have her moved. She was a vent patient and it's risky moving them to another place. Once Medicare knew there was a bed open there they said she had to be moved from the hospital she was in to that place. Which I might add was on the states watch list. And you're right, it's about the money. The day she was checked in the the nurse administrator said vent patients were their bread and butter. Again prayers.
@@FoolyLiving you do feel powerless. You're loved one is left at the mercy of people who don't care. When I would leave there I would have to put the place and mom out of my mind. I know that sounds heartless. But I had to, to keep my own sanity. And it is about money. The day she was being checked in the nurse administrator told us vent patients were their bread and butter. We should have known then but we thought they were good at what they do. Nope it wasn't. They were on the states watch list. We all found this out too late. Once Medicare found out a bed was open there she had to go. The place needed to be shut down. We are at the mercy of the government and a failed health care system that allows bad nurses and the like to keep their jobs, and nursing homes that has no business being open still operating. This was in 2008 and their still operating. We feel blessed she made it out alive. And if wasn't for us I don't think she would ever left that place. We went twice a week, my sister, dad, and me. where it was far from where we lived, and we never let them know what two days we'd be there. And my brother's and dad would go on the weekends. It was a nightmare to say the least.
I am praying for your mom and your family! I been following you guys so a while since my 6 year old was very little! I lost my old UA-cam account and a few years later I finally got back into watching you guys! I’m so sad to see you hurting! I truly have love and admiration for you and your mom and family! Much love and prayers to you guys!
I pray grandma pulls through!! So sorry you are going through this, it’s so hard! You are an amazing daughter and your kids are just beautiful. Praying for a miracle.
I took care of my Mama while she was on hospice with end stage COPD last year. My heart and prayers are with you during this difficult journey, in Jesus Name
Oh Andrea! I know and understand what you are going through. My mom and I went through this back in 2013 with my dad. He had COPD/Emphysema and had gotten sick with pneumonia. He wound up on a respirator and was in the hospital for almost 2 months! He seemed like he was getting better but then something happened and it came down to where my mom and I had to make the decision. Beforehand though my dad had told the both of us that he wanted the trach off. My mother and I looked at each other and she told him but if we have them take you off, there is a chance you may not make it and I don't want to feel guilty. He managed to sit himself up straight, looked at my mom and although you couldn't hear his voice, you were able to read his lips and he was like No! Don't feel guilty. I think he knew what was happening and I don't think he wanted to live off of the vent. A couple of days later, when my mother and I went up, I walked into the room and if you had seen the look on his face and how he was struggling, it was not pretty. He wanted the nurse to give him something to help him relax. And as we were sitting there with my Aunt and a neighbor of ours, both mom and I kept looking at each other, looking at my dad just laying there and at some point, I was like I can't. Dad wanted the thing off... he did not want to live the rest of his life for however long he had on this ventilator because his system was slowly shutting down anyway. Everything they did, with medication and treatments to try and help him were not working. His body was just not responding So, we made the hard decision. He lasted maybe 6 hours after they took him off. He passed away on July 2nd, 2013... And then in 2021, I lost my mom... she had stage 4 Ovarian cancer which spread and metastasized into her pelvic and abdomen area and so I had her in hospice care. She deteriorated quite quickly when diagnosed. She only lasted about 3 weeks after being diagnosed. She passed right on Sept 11th, 2021.... now I'm alone and trying to manage by myself. I have no siblings. Oh Andrea! I am so sorry you are going through this and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! ❤
Hospitals have changed so much that I hate having to go. My doctor even realizes I have strong feelings about it. I am so sorry Andrea. I know how hard it is to watch your parent dying. I came into the hospital when my father was dying and he seemed so agitated. I went over and put my hands on him and said "Daddy I am here." I knew he knew it was me as I am the only one that called him Daddy. I told him not to worry, we would take care of Mama. I also told him to go be with his mother. She was there for him. It was the hardest thing to tell him but less than five minutes later he was gone. I am still praying for that miracle for you. I feel your pain and know you are trying to be so strong for the kids. I am praying for you and the family too.
So sad!!!! she is still there, she can definitely understand, you are such a strong daughter and the kids are the sweetest!!!! Such a strong lady, she wants to live definitely!!!! Sending many prayers Andrea!!
Dear Andrea , i know how hard this is , i pray for all of you ! Wish i could help and do something for you all !! You all have a place in my heart!! Please stay strong, God bless you ❤and 🙏 from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤Lillian 🌺🌿
I hope you can feel my cuddles from Australia Andrea ! I hate to see you & your family going through this ! What sort of world do we live in when money is more important than a life ! 💞😢💞
Your mom is one of the sweetest grandmothers i have ever seen. I still remember she kept sending stuff for the kids when you were in Israel. And she had everything prepared for every one of you when you first moved in to your house that night on the first day you arrived the US. She is so sweet. ❤
This is heartbreaking!! I watched this twice, ugly crying the entire time. Ugh, the thought of what you have gone through. We saw her....we saw Esther only months ago, laughing and talking, and helping the kids open gifts and going thrift shopping with you. How the hell can this be??!!! Gives me memories of how we lost my grandma because of cancer. They treated her until her and my grandfather were drained of all their life savings (and it was A LOT) and when it was all gone they said there was no more they could do for her. Months later my grandpa died. He refused to live without my grandma. We knew his heart broke irreparably. Life makes me so mad that it has to hurt so much. P.S: I have faith in many of those that work in medical. I have family that are doctors, nurses....my favorite cousin has been a nurse in many specialties and she is amazing. She struggled with welfare and school and eventually becoming a nurse...blood sweat and tears...all for her kids. She knows the pain families go through when it comes to insurance and money. BUT, yes....as she even says, it's heartbreaking what families go through fighting for their loved ones and the financial side of all of this. She ALWAYS is the one that shows up at the hospital and appointments and advocates for us when doctors are not listening to us. She has done it many times and she has also been very mad at the treatment that so many patients get. HOWEVER, not all are liars or terrible and most fight their own personal life frustrations to help their patients...many have their hands tied to what they can do. And then you have the others....as you are dealing with. It's maddening. Frustrating. I'm thinking of Esther and you all.
Im sorry Andrea 💔💔😭 i stopped a few times and still haven't watched all coz it s so heartbreaking. Im so sorry stay strong please... *I hope and pray you get good help/people for your mom. And Rafael and Abigail are both so lovely and brave. Sending love and prayers 🙏❤️
Andrea, please fight for your mom. Follow your instincts. Do the doctors believe there’s no chance of her survival and/ or that she would not have any quality of life? We (being the viewers) love your mom and your family! I know this is killing you inside. Just continue to advocate for her Andrea. It doesn’t mean you’re going against your family because sometimes they can be looking at it differently than you. just do what you think is right honey. We’re here to support you, but I just can’t stand the thoughts of thinking that she’s not gonna have a chance to recover. hugs from Ohio
Andrea, my heart goes out to you. Your mother is such a kind, sweet, loving woman. I can totally understand where you are coming from. Making the choice/decision, between life and death of a loved one, I can't even imagine how difficult it must be for you and your family. My thoughts and prayers continue for you and your family.
Andrea, Hadar, and family, I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful Mom, and Grammie, and her recent health crisis. She is such a loving, compassionate, and incredible woman. I am crying watching what is happening to your entire family.; I so wish I could lessen your pain. Please know that I think of you often, and I am sending you my love, and hugs, always, Sherrey💕💕💕💕💕💕🍁
I'm so sorry you are going through this. We did it with my dad. It was a month of hell. Does your mom having a living will??? My dad did and he was adamant that he didn't want to live on machines, etc. It is such a painful experience losing a parent. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time!
I’m so very sorry 😢 I know how it feels to lose a parent, a feeling you can’t describe. Im praying somehow a miracle can happen…I’m praying regularly for all of you. So sorry you have to go through this ❤
For sure, she has so many blessings, and we need to get her the help she needs (therapy) because they are holding back on helping her and I dont know why!
I'm so sorry you are going through this with your Mom. I lost mine in Sept. and it "hurts" still. She was in a care home for almost a year, and yes, even with her hospital stays you have to be there and be on top of things, it is so sad what the health system has become, I call it a business now, they are all about the $$. So glad I had to retire from Nursing about 9 years ago...don't think I could tolerate it now. And Abigales arm is from the needle leaking blood under the skin from the IV, it will heal....kids have small veins. Hugs to you all and what you are going through with your health, the stress and worry over your Mom and daughter. So much....I understand and was crying with you through all of your videos.
I’m sorry about your mom Andrea 💓 I am praying for a miracle! And yes, hospitals are all about money. My mom is a cardiac nurse and they will work her to death because the more surgeries, the more money! It’s quite sad
😢 Makes me SAD to see your precious Mom like this because i know someday I'll be in her shoes and my daughter will be in your shoes..GOD BLESS YOU GUYS..❤
Make SURE you tell your daughter what you want in EVERY scenerio that could possibly happen and put it in writing and have it notarized after you both agree on it!! Take care of yourself, but also make sure your wishes are taken care of
Hello I'm so sorry you have to watch this happen to your Mom.I went through this with my Mom in 2011, and it is such a hard thing to go through. Time just goes so quickly. I'm sending you healing prayers and light.🙏💞
Andrea i lost my Mum from an aneurysm 55yrs ago . I feel your pain. I love the way you guys love her. Your kids are so loving and brave at Grammas bedside❤ sending lots of love and strength from Down Under❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t reply a lot to your videos. I do watch as many as I can. I just can’t believe this is happening. Your mom is such a vibrant beautiful lady. May God place his hand upon your family and help you through this sad time. You are in my prayers. Blessings ❤
It's awful seeing her this way definitely a hard decision but she's in there maybe more time is all she needs holding out hope sending prayers big hug 🫂 ❤
I feel your pain Andrea, I know exactly how that feels. If I could hug you all right now I would. It's concerning to hear what Abigail is experiencing at the moment, I hope they figure that out quickly for her🤞. Thank you too for the updates, I know it's really hard for you at the moment but we're all right here with you ok🙏
She can hear you. Every Time you touch her you stop her journey home and it starts all over. Just sit quietly and talk lovingly to her. Tell her it is ok to go home. I know because I had to do the same for my husband of 50 yrs. My heart breaks for your Dad too. ❤
I sorry for all that your enduring, I’m still in mine! I just lost my mom at in home hospice. I was in the hospital myself confined to my bed for 2 weeks I was only able to talk with my mom via FaceTime 😟😟! Although I should be grateful for that. She left us on Valentine’s Day!! But I will say you are so right about people telling you different things in the hospital!!! It is so so very important to have a Person speaking up for your loved or yourself. You just keep doing what you think is best go by your gut feeling. Im not saying to listen to the medical staff but you know what i mean. I wish your family the best through this season in your life,.Have a Blessed Day🦋
I am so sorry this is happening to your family. She’s trying hard to follow your commands. If it were me I would also be advocating for more time. Do you know for sure she can’t breathe on her own? I’m totally agreeing with you about hospitals, they are being run as corporations, if they aren’t making money you’re out, and it’s going to get worse. Hospitals are being bought in droves by unscrupulous CEO’s. The doctors are very frustrated, they don’t what to treat their patients on a conveyer belt. 15 mins max for an appointment with each visit, if they don’t adhere, they are reprimanded by corporate. People that need more time aren’t getting it. I wish I could say something that would make you feel better, there isn’t, all I can think of is I see the despair in your eyes and it’s heart wrenching. She is such a beautiful human. I’m praying 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
No, I know for sure she can breathe on her own because when she first got there, she was spending 12 hours off the vent completely and at night she just had CPAP. When she got here, it was full blast vent support the entire time with no weaning. They are just not ready and qualified to wean. Great therapists, but they only keep her on it without trying to get her off. I dont know what else to do. I'm STILL asking the hospital to wean her and they dont.
@@FoolyLiving Is she going to hospice with the ventilator? Can you transfer her to a hospital that would be willing to wean her properly and see what happens?
My Heart is breaking for you and your family. I’ve been through this with both of my parents. My dad was on life support’s after a heart attack. Florida hospital was terrible! he was in a medical induced coma but would respond in between. They asked us if we would donate his skin and bones in front of him. I was so mad and upset!! A few years later My mom had a stroke and ended up in a nursing home. She didn’t last long. When I see the video of your mom it looks just like my mom laying in that bed. I’m not one to leave comments but I love your family and have followed you for years. I just wanted you to know you’re not alone. I pray God grants you strength to endure. 🤍🕊️🤗😘
Oh Andera i feel for you. I had to let my mom go like that as well in 2015. I know how heart breaking it is, i sang to my mom as she went to heaven. ❤❤❤❤ your in my prayers
I’m autistic and I’m an only child. I don’t have many friends, I don’t have a partner or kids and my biggest fear is losing my mom. I know that day will come but every time I think about it, it destroys me, I cry like a baby even though I’m 31. I can’t imagine how you’re feeling, Andrea. I was crying when you were talking to your mom. Cherish every moment you have with her. Hugs to you all ❤
@bixby451 Is there some way that I can message you privately regarding your own situation?
I'm sorry. I have a 16-year-old with autism and it is my biggest fear for him although he has siblings. I worry that they will not be able to care for him financially because they can barely financially support themselves. He is high functioning, but he has his preferences and needs and I know only I truly know what bothers him and what helps him. I cry myself to sleep every single night thinking about it. I wish I could help every single person in this world with this struggle....I wish I could help them never be afraid to feel alone. I know it's of little solace to you....but when that time should come, know you have people that get it and care.
Big hug. I lost my mom at 17. My dad is 82. I can’t think abt it!
When we die we are sleeping, Jesus words to Lazarus was “Lazarus…wake up”.

Andrea I am so sorry I know what you’re going through. My mother was put on Hospice last year. She went to be with the Lord on Jan.4,23. You are absolutely right about the hospitals. You have to have a watchful eye if a love one ends up in the hospital . We learned this lesson ten years ago when my father passed. Praying for your family. God bless
I'm sorry for your loss, you only get one momma, you know? Its a big loss, but she had you for many years and I'm sure she is watching over you
Andrea and family, I am so very sorry you are having to go through this and I understand what you are going through, I had to deal with this myself here in North Carolina with my Grandma. It was just my uncle and I having to fight for her after she had a stroke (she suffered with strokes for years) and slipped into a coma. Nobody cared and we did unfortunately lose her when she was sent to hospice. I do know that no matter what anyone says, there isn't going to be comfort even from those who've gone though similar because it just hurts so bad. I really hope that Esther pulls through this. Praying for all of you.
Not that it'll help much, but something that got me through everything at least in terms of taking my mind off what all was/happened, was to play games, I just played on my PlayStation and PC and it helped, just thought I'd mention that since you all play games too.
Prayers and hugs from a fellow gamer in North Carolina.
I am so so sorry, Andrea! I'm also sorry I cannot watch as this bring back some horrible memories for me. I just wish you were not having to go through this. I understand you totally! Hugs to you all!
Praying and sending you all hugs! 🫂❤ Thinking of you Andrea, sending you comfort & strength at this difficult time 🕊
Oh Andrea I am so so sorry I feel your pain ,I nursed my mother until the end at home,.. I was 39 she was 70 hardest thing I have ever done it’s so hard hugs and prayers my darling
I’m am so sorry Andrea. My heart goes out to you. I went through hospice with my sister, my mom & my dad. Sister had cancer in 2017, moms had Alzheimer’s 2020 and Dad had dementia . He just passed in January.💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜
I'm so sorry Andrea. My heart breaks for you and the kids. And sweet grandma. I pray for peace for all.
Sending strength, healing and protect to you, your mom, and family.
Andrea I am so sorry for what you and your family are going through. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. And sadly I agree about the drs and staff lying to you. I have been through similar situations with a few of my loved ones. My heart hurts for you Andrea especially. Watching you and your mom always doing things together and spending time together really has made me think of me and my mom. ❤ The special bond that you both have with each other. I think it is so sweet when Abigail and Rafael talk to Grandma. And I know watching your mom like this is so hard.
Bless you all I can't stop crying I'm so sorry this is happening to you all 😢
I am so sorry, what a difficult decision. Sending you are your family prayers for comfort.
Hi, Andrea. I’m I silent viewer and have been watching your channel for many years.
I just want to tell you that you are an amazing daughter, mother and wife. You are so selfless and watching the love and affection you have given to your mum whilst she has been in such a traumatic state has been absolutely heartbreaking yet so wholesome. I pray Esther pulls through this. Stay strong. Keep hope. Keep pushing. Sending so much love from England ❤❤❤
I'm sorry to hear that your mom is going to go on hospice soon. Hopefully she will be able to breathe on her own soon so she has a chance to recover.
I am so sorry for all of this. My heart is breaking for you guys. I'll be praying ❤❤🙏🙏
So so sorry Andrea!! Sending prayers and hugs your way!!😢❤️😢❤️😢❤️
im so sorry, my grandpa just passed away september of 2022 n this video reminded me so much of it all, i feel for you n your kids really, i wish nothing but the best for all of you🙏🏻💕
Oh no, I'm so sorry for you and your family. I went through this with my father. I held his hand as he passed on.
This is so heartbreaking... It's a decision no one should have to make. I will keep praying. ❤
Sending all of you hugs full of strength, courage, love, prayers and comfort.💔🩷💔
I’m so sorry, I know this is a tough time. I hope things turn around for the better. I’ve been thru similar with my mom already and if you have any questions, I’m here. It was a long process for sure. All my love
Im so sorry you’re all going through this! Soo heartbreaking!!
Andrea I am praying 🙏 your mom wakes up ny the grace of God and
shows them she is still alive 🙏❤Sending blessings to you and your family 🙌
God Bless you all. I Pray for God to give you strength. Strength to do what you think is right. Strength to get through the days ahead. Sending love & hugs & many Prayers 🙏🙏🙏
My heart goes out to you and your family. I've been there. Nurses overdosing to where the respiratory therapist couldn't wein her off the ventilator. She was in a nursing home far away from our homes. It was a nightmare. Finally they worked to get her out of there. So we would leave them alone. She finally got to come home. Make sure they are not over dosing her to where she can't wake up. They do that so that they don't have to bother with them. And mom was always a good patient. And kind to the nurses all her life. Mom didn't have it in her to be mean. It's a sad state we live in when those paid to take care of others could care less. This is a very short version of what all went on there. God bless. Sent up prayers.
I know what you went through, believe me. I know! I didnt know until this happened to my mom. She worked all her life and pays for health insurance. She thought she was safe. I know.... but you dont know what you dont know, and I hope to bring awareness to the heartlessness that goes on in hospitals. No, not everyone is like this, but moreso than not from what I've found, and I'm sure you experienced exactly the same thing and you feel absolutely POWERLESS. I cannot be there 24/7. The night nurses at the first hospital would crank up the babysitting juice at night and I called one night and asked how she was and the nurse told me that shes sedated because she was pulling at her wires and cords. I said, Did she wake up????? SHES IN A COMA!!!!! That did me in right there.... Just did me in... I am so sorry for anyone having to go through this. It is a nightmare because you are literally stuck and helpless.
@@FoolyLiving yes you are and your at the mercy of them and government. My dad, sister and I would go twice through the week. And never the same days so they wouldn't know when we were coming. Then on the weekends my brother's and dad would go. When I would leave, which I hated to do, I would have to put the place and mom out of my mind. I know it sounds heartless, but for my own sanity I had to. Thank God my doctor called me in something for my anxiety, cause without that I would have really been hurting. And it wasn't like we could have her moved. She was a vent patient and it's risky moving them to another place. Once Medicare knew there was a bed open there they said she had to be moved from the hospital she was in to that place. Which I might add was on the states watch list. And you're right, it's about the money. The day she was checked in the the nurse administrator said vent patients were their bread and butter. Again prayers.
@@FoolyLiving you do feel powerless. You're loved one is left at the mercy of people who don't care. When I would leave there I would have to put the place and mom out of my mind. I know that sounds heartless. But I had to, to keep my own sanity. And it is about money. The day she was being checked in the nurse administrator told us vent patients were their bread and butter. We should have known then but we thought they were good at what they do. Nope it wasn't. They were on the states watch list. We all found this out too late. Once Medicare found out a bed was open there she had to go. The place needed to be shut down. We are at the mercy of the government and a failed health care system that allows bad nurses and the like to keep their jobs, and nursing homes that has no business being open still operating. This was in 2008 and their still operating. We feel blessed she made it out alive. And if wasn't for us I don't think she would ever left that place. We went twice a week, my sister, dad, and me. where it was far from where we lived, and we never let them know what two days we'd be there. And my brother's and dad would go on the weekends. It was a nightmare to say the least.
I am praying for your mom and your family! I been following you guys so a while since my 6 year old was very little! I lost my old UA-cam account and a few years later I finally got back into watching you guys! I’m so sad to see you hurting! I truly have love and admiration for you and your mom and family! Much love and prayers to you guys!
I pray grandma pulls through!! So sorry you are going through this, it’s so hard! You are an amazing daughter and your kids are just beautiful. Praying for a miracle.
I took care of my Mama while she was on hospice with end stage COPD last year. My heart and prayers are with you during this difficult journey, in Jesus Name
Andrea, I'm so sorry for what you & your family are going through. Your mom is a gem and I'm praying for a miracle! ❤
Oh Andrea! I know and understand what you are going through. My mom and I went through this back in 2013 with my dad. He had COPD/Emphysema and had gotten sick with pneumonia. He wound up on a respirator and was in the hospital for almost 2 months! He seemed like he was getting better but then something happened and it came down to where my mom and I had to make the decision. Beforehand though my dad had told the both of us that he wanted the trach off. My mother and I looked at each other and she told him but if we have them take you off, there is a chance you may not make it and I don't want to feel guilty. He managed to sit himself up straight, looked at my mom and although you couldn't hear his voice, you were able to read his lips and he was like No! Don't feel guilty. I think he knew what was happening and I don't think he wanted to live off of the vent. A couple of days later, when my mother and I went up, I walked into the room and if you had seen the look on his face and how he was struggling, it was not pretty. He wanted the nurse to give him something to help him relax. And as we were sitting there with my Aunt and a neighbor of ours, both mom and I kept looking at each other, looking at my dad just laying there and at some point, I was like I can't. Dad wanted the thing off... he did not want to live the rest of his life for however long he had on this ventilator because his system was slowly shutting down anyway. Everything they did, with medication and treatments to try and help him were not working. His body was just not responding So, we made the hard decision. He lasted maybe 6 hours after they took him off. He passed away on July 2nd, 2013...
And then in 2021, I lost my mom... she had stage 4 Ovarian cancer which spread and metastasized into her pelvic and abdomen area and so I had her in hospice care. She deteriorated quite quickly when diagnosed. She only lasted about 3 weeks after being diagnosed. She passed right on Sept 11th, 2021.... now I'm alone and trying to manage by myself. I have no siblings.
Oh Andrea! I am so sorry you are going through this and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! ❤
Hospitals have changed so much that I hate having to go. My doctor even realizes I have strong feelings about it. I am so sorry Andrea. I know how hard it is to watch your parent dying. I came into the hospital when my father was dying and he seemed so agitated. I went over and put my hands on him and said "Daddy I am here." I knew he knew it was me as I am the only one that called him Daddy. I told him not to worry, we would take care of Mama. I also told him to go be with his mother. She was there for him. It was the hardest thing to tell him but less than five minutes later he was gone. I am still praying for that miracle for you. I feel your pain and know you are trying to be so strong for the kids. I am praying for you and the family too.
I’m so very sorry that you guys are going through this!!
So sad!!!! she is still there, she can definitely understand, you are such a strong daughter and the kids are the sweetest!!!! Such a strong lady, she wants to live definitely!!!! Sending many prayers Andrea!!
You can’t really know what she is thinking. None of us can
I am so sorry Andrea. sending you love and prayers ,
So so sorry for you and your family....❤
This must be so hard to go through....
sending a lot of hugs from the heart, prayers, and absolute strength, Andrea and the family ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻
Dear Andrea , i know how hard this is , i pray for all of you ! Wish i could help and do something for you all !! You all have a place in my heart!! Please stay strong, God bless you ❤and 🙏 from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤Lillian 🌺🌿
I pray for a miracle for your Mom.🙏🏻
I hope you can feel my cuddles from Australia Andrea ! I hate to see you & your family going through this ! What sort of world do we live in when money is more important than a life ! 💞😢💞
You saying “good god” about the door chime made me laugh out loud 😂
lol I know, that thing.. I have to move it. Its got a big sensor rofl.
Your mom is one of the sweetest grandmothers i have ever seen. I still remember she kept sending stuff for the kids when you were in Israel. And she had everything prepared for every one of you when you first moved in to your house that night on the first day you arrived the US. She is so sweet. ❤
This is heartbreaking!! I watched this twice, ugly crying the entire time. Ugh, the thought of what you have gone through. We saw her....we saw Esther only months ago, laughing and talking, and helping the kids open gifts and going thrift shopping with you. How the hell can this be??!!! Gives me memories of how we lost my grandma because of cancer. They treated her until her and my grandfather were drained of all their life savings (and it was A LOT) and when it was all gone they said there was no more they could do for her. Months later my grandpa died. He refused to live without my grandma. We knew his heart broke irreparably. Life makes me so mad that it has to hurt so much. P.S: I have faith in many of those that work in medical. I have family that are doctors, nurses....my favorite cousin has been a nurse in many specialties and she is amazing. She struggled with welfare and school and eventually becoming a nurse...blood sweat and tears...all for her kids. She knows the pain families go through when it comes to insurance and money. BUT, yes....as she even says, it's heartbreaking what families go through fighting for their loved ones and the financial side of all of this. She ALWAYS is the one that shows up at the hospital and appointments and advocates for us when doctors are not listening to us. She has done it many times and she has also been very mad at the treatment that so many patients get. HOWEVER, not all are liars or terrible and most fight their own personal life frustrations to help their patients...many have their hands tied to what they can do. And then you have the others....as you are dealing with. It's maddening. Frustrating. I'm thinking of Esther and you all.
Im sorry Andrea 💔💔😭 i stopped a few times and still haven't watched all coz it s so heartbreaking. Im so sorry stay strong please...
*I hope and pray you get good help/people for your mom. And Rafael and Abigail are both so lovely and brave. Sending love and prayers 🙏❤️
Andrea, please fight for your mom. Follow your instincts. Do the doctors believe there’s no chance of her survival and/ or that she would not have any quality of life? We (being the viewers) love your mom and your family! I know this is killing you inside. Just continue to advocate for her Andrea. It doesn’t mean you’re going against your family because sometimes they can be looking at it differently than you. just do what you think is right honey. We’re here to support you, but I just can’t stand the thoughts of thinking that she’s not gonna have a chance to recover. hugs from Ohio
Those poor kids just love their Grandma. 😢 We’ve been there, and the doubt, the wondering, the hope…it’s such a hard mix. Praying for you all.
Stress and shock. It's absolutely heartbreaking. Continued prayer, blessings and huge hugs❤
I'm so sorry about your mom my heart breaks for you😥
Andrea, my heart goes out to you. Your mother is such a kind, sweet, loving woman. I can totally understand where you are coming from. Making the choice/decision, between life and death of a loved one, I can't even imagine how difficult it must be for you and your family. My thoughts and prayers continue for you and your family.
Andrea, Hadar, and family, I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful Mom, and Grammie, and her recent health crisis. She is such a loving, compassionate, and incredible woman. I am crying watching what is happening to your entire family.; I so wish I could lessen your pain. Please know that I think of you often, and I am sending you my love, and hugs, always, Sherrey💕💕💕💕💕💕🍁
I'm so sorry you are going through this. We did it with my dad. It was a month of hell. Does your mom having a living will??? My dad did and he was adamant that he didn't want to live on machines, etc. It is such a painful experience losing a parent. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time!
I’m so very sorry 😢 I know how it feels to lose a parent, a feeling you can’t describe. Im praying somehow a miracle can happen…I’m praying regularly for all of you. So sorry you have to go through this ❤
Praying for you and your family. God is good and he is with your mom right now watching over her.
For sure, she has so many blessings, and we need to get her the help she needs (therapy) because they are holding back on helping her and I dont know why!
I'm so sorry you are going through this with your Mom. I lost mine in Sept. and it "hurts" still. She was in a care home for almost a year, and yes, even with her hospital stays you have to be there and be on top of things, it is so sad what the health system has become, I call it a business now, they are all about the $$. So glad I had to retire from Nursing about 9 years ago...don't think I could tolerate it now. And Abigales arm is from the needle leaking blood under the skin from the IV, it will heal....kids have small veins. Hugs to you all and what you are going through with your health, the stress and worry over your Mom and daughter. So much....I understand and was crying with you through all of your videos.
I love your mom. Such a bright spot in your channel. Too young to go thru this. I’m
So very sorry. Praying for her health.
I’m sorry about your mom Andrea 💓 I am praying for a miracle! And yes, hospitals are all about money. My mom is a cardiac nurse and they will work her to death because the more surgeries, the more money! It’s quite sad
😢 Makes me SAD to see your precious Mom like this because i know someday I'll be in her shoes and my daughter will be in your shoes..GOD BLESS YOU GUYS..❤
Make SURE you tell your daughter what you want in EVERY scenerio that could possibly happen and put it in writing and have it notarized after you both agree on it!! Take care of yourself, but also make sure your wishes are taken care of
prayers continue for your Mom & for all of you & Andrea you are beautiful, beautiful you, with your hair up or down !
God bless you all.such love for Grandma.She knows you are there with her.
Hello I'm so sorry you have to watch this happen to your Mom.I went through this with my Mom in 2011, and it is such a hard thing to go through. Time just goes so quickly. I'm sending you healing prayers and light.🙏💞
God bless you for inviting each of us into this space with you ❤
I am so sorry for your family.Hadar is such a big help.Cute Smokey Bear shirt.This must be difficult for your dad as well.❤&🤗
Andrea i lost my Mum from an aneurysm 55yrs ago . I feel your pain. I love the way you guys love her. Your kids are so loving and brave at Grammas bedside❤ sending lots of love and strength from Down Under❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t reply a lot to your videos. I do watch as many as I can. I just can’t believe this is happening. Your mom is such a vibrant beautiful lady. May God place his hand upon your family and help you through this sad time. You are in my prayers. Blessings ❤
Praying for you in michigan, praying for your mother ❤ I have ocd myself
It's awful seeing her this way definitely a hard decision but she's in there maybe more time is all she needs holding out hope sending prayers big hug 🫂 ❤
I feel your pain Andrea, I know exactly how that feels. If I could hug you all right now I would. It's concerning to hear what Abigail is experiencing at the moment, I hope they figure that out quickly for her🤞. Thank you too for the updates, I know it's really hard for you at the moment but we're all right here with you ok🙏
Im so toen for u
..PLEASE JESUS IN THE MIGHTY HIS MIGHTY HOLY NAME WAKE MAMA UP
Amen
Amen
Oh Andrea its so hard to see you mom like this 😢thinking of you all ❤❤❤❤
Oh my I’m so so so very sorry 😞 love to you and your family praying for a miracle 😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕
She can hear you. Every Time you touch her you stop her journey home and it starts all over. Just sit quietly and talk lovingly to her. Tell her it is ok to go home. I know because I had to do the same for my husband of 50 yrs. My heart breaks for your Dad too. ❤
I sorry for all that your enduring, I’m still in mine! I just lost my mom at in home hospice. I was in the hospital myself confined to my bed for 2 weeks I was only able to talk with my mom via FaceTime 😟😟! Although I should be grateful for that. She left us on Valentine’s Day!! But I will say you are so right about people telling you different things in the hospital!!! It is so so very important to have a Person speaking up for your loved or yourself. You just keep doing what you think is best go by your gut feeling. Im not saying to listen to the medical staff but you know what i mean. I wish your family the best through this season in your life,.Have a Blessed Day🦋
My heart goes out to you and the family Andrea. I hope that at lest your mom is comfortable and has no pain.
I am so sorry this is happening to your family. She’s trying hard to follow your commands. If it were me I would also be advocating for more time.
Do you know for sure she can’t breathe on her own?
I’m totally agreeing with you about hospitals, they are being run as corporations, if they aren’t making money you’re out, and it’s going to get worse. Hospitals are being bought in droves by unscrupulous CEO’s. The doctors are very frustrated, they don’t what to treat their patients on a conveyer belt. 15 mins max for an appointment with each visit, if they don’t adhere, they are reprimanded by corporate. People that need more time aren’t getting it. I wish I could say something that would make you feel better, there isn’t, all I can think of is I see the despair in your eyes and it’s heart wrenching. She is such a beautiful human.
I’m praying 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
No, I know for sure she can breathe on her own because when she first got there, she was spending 12 hours off the vent completely and at night she just had CPAP. When she got here, it was full blast vent support the entire time with no weaning. They are just not ready and qualified to wean. Great therapists, but they only keep her on it without trying to get her off. I dont know what else to do. I'm STILL asking the hospital to wean her and they dont.
@@FoolyLiving Is she going to hospice with the ventilator? Can you transfer her to a hospital that would be willing to wean her properly and see what happens?
I am praying so hard for your mom Andrea . My heart is hurting so bad for you.🙏🏻🙏🏻
My Heart is breaking for you and your family. I’ve been through this with both of my parents. My dad was on life support’s after a heart attack. Florida hospital was terrible! he was in a medical induced coma but would respond in between. They asked us if we would donate his skin and bones in front of him. I was so mad and upset!! A few years later
My mom had a stroke
and ended up in a nursing home. She didn’t last long. When I see the video of your mom it looks just like my mom laying in that bed. I’m not one to leave comments but I love your family and have followed you for years. I just wanted you to know you’re not alone. I pray God grants you strength to endure.
🤍🕊️🤗😘
❤❤sending you lots of love and praying for you're mom 💕💕
So sorry you are all going through this, warm hugs for you all
I am so sorry Andrea.. I am sending you lots of hugs during this hard time…
God bless her soul. I’m still praying Andrea.🙏❤

Sorry to hear about your mom cherish every moment with her she knows you all are there with her ❤
The American medical system is so scary. Praying for your mum! Heal her in Jesus name! Is Abigail okay after yesterday’s video?
