Just went through this with my MIL who also had LBD.
My husband is a nurse and 100% opted for no tube. She was given pain mess and was gone in a week.
If you or your mom need to chat with anyone about it my husband is available for you.

I'm kind of obsessed with taking care of my skin lol
Do some research on the st Ives. The scrubs are pretty bad for you skin because they cause micro tears.
Anyway in the evening I cleanse with an oil cleanser. I have a few that I like. You just have to find one that works for you.
then...
Abe was named Aberdeen before we got him. I hated that and settled for Abe which I now think suits him perfectly!
Fig was Emma and I wanted to name her after my favorite Disney character Figment and it was shortened over time to fig.
I probably would have named Abe something weird given the chance
I am in the same position with Zooey only she's 13 now but still crazy active.
I've been managing with swimming and pain meds. Keeping her active is the only thing that's helping weirdly.
:(
I'm not sure what we can do to help but I know that if we could get the funeral home to take fingerprints maybe we could all go in for a thumbie or two (I'd be willing to do it for cost) for when carter grows up
