Thirded.

Hope things go ok.

Fourthed. I hope things go as well as they realistically can at this point.

Thank you all. It's a strange and unpleasant situation, in that she's physically still strong, she's coherent although not making sense and aware of her surroundings but doesn't know where she is. Speaking to the doctor I said that I knew what I'd like to happen and with magnificent understanding he replied. "I wish more families were like that."

What she has now will kill her sooner rather than later, her oldest friend went the same way without the dementia and her final weeks were horrendous for all concerned.
