Steadying support while you test the theory, Asuncion. Keep us posted.

    I know my mommy is no longer suffering in this life. But sometimes I feel like i killed her. The doctors explained how her organs had shut down and once the life support was removed the body would completely stop functioning. I couldn't imagine a world where my mom would be a breathing vegetable for years in a nursing facility.  Watching my mom's body labor over half a day to transition will...
