Default Went to see my Mom today
When she had her surgery January 11th the oncologist said she had on an average of 8 months to live. She is having periods of confusion now, a lot of labored breathing, very weak, not eating. Last week she was doing well in physical therapy. 'Well' for her is slowly walking and kind of shuffling the left leg along. I am so glad my kids and grand kids came last weekend and had quality time with her.

one of the hardest times in my life was watching my mother go from what was 'well' for her to a state of complete confusion and knowing no one. I rejoice with you that you all had some quality time with your mom. It's hard when moms are ill

My mom had that for about 7 years, being in limbo for her life expectancy. Cherish any quality moments you have. God bless your mom and family and you.

She called this evening and was almost euphoric. She has done this one other time. It's really strange. I'm not used to hear my Mom being downright giddy.

ah, mother struggles. I wish so many things for my own, and from my own, but its never going to be, and I had to let that go.

I am so happy you are able to be there for her, and with her. God Bless you!
