Quote from Denise's daughter in law, on FB:

We're here with her now. So, after the seizure and because of the pneumonia, she's not really breathing on her own. Specifically, she's not exhaling. Her lungs and brain activity are too weak. As it stood earlier today, she had too much CO2 in her blood and she's in almost a coma-like state. She will respond to being shaken and open her eyes but there's not really acknowledgement of any kind.
Since we got here, they ran another venous gas test and the CO2 level in her blood has increased, so she's getting worse. The doctor is playing it by ear basically. They're just keeping her comfortable but it's just matter of time at this point
Family are on their way. Josh is not okay at all. He's never really experienced a major loss like this. I'm just trying to support him as best I can. Please send him love or words of comfort. He is just coming to terms with the reality of the situation and doesn't know how to process it. He says to me a few minutes ago that she won't ever get to see or hold or know her granddaughter.
