Folks, for the last several months I have been really busy assisting my Mom. You know, taking her to all of her doctors appointments and then to the hospital for lab work, X-rays, CT scans,and PET scans. Still yet, the daily treatments of radiation and bi-weekly treatments of chemo. Needless to say, it is a bit overwhelming. But not to me, I am referring to my Mom.
For the last (2) weeks my Mom has been in and out of the hospital. In fact, she was in ICU and then moved to Telemetry and back to ICU. It seems as there is no end to it at times. However, my Mom was having a very difficult time breathing this morning and once again had to go back into the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital this morning, I was shocked with how bad my Mom looked. She is having a very tough time breathing on her own. The nurse told me that she basically did not have any lung capacity left. To make matters worse, my Mom has pneumonia. Folks, I am really scared to death for her! But, I don't want her to suffer either. Sadly, the nurse went on to inform me that w/o the oxygen mask on her face that my Mom would likely pass. In other words, it won't be much longer and my Mom will pass.
In short, just wanted to update everyone here that has been so supportive throughout this long journey. Many of you have helped a lot. So much so words can
NOT even begin to explain how much it has meant. Without any further delay, let me just say
Thank You and you guys rock!
Right now, I am not even sure my Mom will make it through the night. Therefore, for those of you who believe in
prayer please say one for my Mom. It once again would mean so much. Sorry, if I sound a bit depressed, but after all it is my Mom. She is AND has always been my best friend-my rock-the "
ONE" I go to when I need comfort and understanding. I am sure you all understand where I am going with all of this.
Cheers,
Phil
