[History: Dick is my mother's husband. Jan is my mother. She has Polycystic Kidney Disease, and her nephrologist wants her to get a shunt inserted to prep her for dialysis. She plans to decline dialysis, so I'm learning about end-of-life issues.]

Subject: JAN
MY JAN HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH KIDNEY FAILURE. SHE REFUSES TO GO ON DIALISIS. SHE SAYS SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE KEPT ALIVE BY MACHINES.
WHILE THE REST OF US ARE FIGHTING PUTTING ON POUNDS, HER APPETITE IS SO LOW THAT SHE HAS LOST FIVE POUNDS JUST LAST WEEK.
SHE IS QUITE UNSTEADY ON HER FEET AND FALLS DOWN A LOT.
PLEASE KEEP HER IN YOUR PRAYERS
