NWR: Sad News
So, apparently my horrible Monday was indicative of my week ahead (as I feared it would be).
We received a call last night that MIL suffered a major stroke. She's in a coma, unable to eat or drink. She already has a medical directive stating she wants no extraordinary measures (including insertion of a feeding tube). So, we were informed that she likely only has a couple more days.
DH is devistated. Last night is the first time I have ever seen him cry. We also had to sit down and explain it to my step-daughter, which was absolutely heart-wrenching. She cried so hard.
We looked into flights back to his hometown, but they are $1,300 a person. Delta does offer bereavement discounts, so I'll have to call and see how much those are. Otherwise, we're going to be making the 18 hr drive.

Thoughts and prayers to you, your husband and step-daughter. It's awful to lose a parent, but it's good you have each other!
I've checked everything. Other airports, including Minneapolis and renting a car for the 5 hr drive north, but those are still over $500 a person, and I'd still have to rent a car. I'm sure the holiday weekend isn't helping prices at all. But really, $3,900 for 3 people to fly to Minnesota??? It would only cost us $300 in gas (round trip) to get out there...but it's 18 hours...with a 6 year old...and not a lot of time to spare.
