so sorry to hear this - but each one handles things and processes things differently and some can bounce back surprisingly after a down time, so too soon to know yet what her outcome will be mentally or physically. all you can do is offer your support and let the family know you are there if and when she wants / needs you or if they do as well... and hang in there... i am sure it is tough observing from the position you are in, after working with her so closely for all of these years. my prayers will be with everyone concerned and esp her.
