Calm before the Storm

My Mother-in-Law's electrolytes are completly out of whack. Once the electrolytes get low it can slow down the cardiac (heart) function, leading to death if it's not caught soon enough. This can be fixed but we are nowhere over this health scare because of other issues she's dealing with.

She's having issues with her breathing and needs the Bi-Pap. A Bipap is a non-invasive ventilator. A Bipap is not considered life support . If she requires something more evasive and needs to be ventilated since she had done a living will she will be asked. She has the right to decline.

Was yesterday's smiles the calm?
