My husband's Grandma's kidneys have shut down completely. She's 93 and has lived a good, long life. None of this is a surprise, but it's just not easy. She is sleeping a lot, and her legs are all swollen. All of her “numbers” are through the roof. Her calcium, potassium, creatin, keytones, etc. are all off. And her hands are the size of her son's hands (very large).

I know that there's not a set amount of time given and it varies with each person but how long do you think we'll have Grandma with us? A day or two?

Thanks for your help. :(
