I think she is in huge denial and instead of someone close to her,being blunt with her.As far as we know,they have all gone along with it,for their own reasons. Everyone has been in limbo,the family,the nurses,Doctors etc.Archie has siblings,that need Hollie,that would need her to be at home.I wonder if the Dad has the same view's and how much time,he is in that hospital room.
