In early October Mother fell because she, for whatever reason, stared losing control over her right leg, from what she told me. 2 months prior she started developing a flu and started treating it with cold and flu medicine, she cured her cough but her strength didn't entirely recover. Mother suffered from severe back pain and was prescribed pain killers to treat her back pain, something Mother used only in moderation and always made sure to never take too much, however much she took, she still had pain. Getting out of bed had been so hard for as of late. Mother refused to do her physical therapy mostly because of her bad back, caused by a back injury she sustain from accident on a public transport.

Mother did daily chores but struggled because of her back and took breaks periodically, treating with her pain medication. Mom's performance since she got sick months ago continued to decline. 2 weeks ago she fell and I took her to the hospital. Turns out, Mother had "Valley Fever" a rare string of flu that infects the lungs and I was told it would never go away naturally and can only be treated with antibiotics to prevent its spread.

During Mother's week in the hospital she couldn't walk on her own or get out of bed, so, upon her release, she was transported to a rehabilitation center, she made progress for a short time but unfortunately she didn't make it. I was informed Mother Thursday night vomited profusely, and was cleaned up, and went back to bed, and was checked on in the morning, and had already passed, assumed in her sleep.

She was pronounce dead at 8:20am Friday morning of October 18, 2024 at Coronado Health Center in Phoenix, AZ 85029.
