Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I'm sorry that I cannot write everyone individually. There are just so many asking about her, and praying for our situation. Monday will be 3 weeks that my mom has been in the hospital. Tomorrow (Sunday) is day 13 in ICU. We were told that they expected her to live just a few days, yet she is still holding on. When she was transferred to ICU, we were told that she needed to have a surgery called the Whipple. It is very complex. 8-10 hour long surg. She was not strong enough to survive the surg., so we were trying to get her stable, while we waited for UCLA, Stanford, and a few others, to call back saying they could take her. She went downhill that first night, and the Dr. called wanting me to make a decision as to her " code status " . We decided on a full code, because we believed she could beat the cancer, with the help of this Whipple proceedure. Then at midnight her nurse called to say that they had to intubate her, because she was too exhausted to breathe on her own. The next morning, she was doing a little better, due to not having to labor, just to get a breath. I was told that her biopsy came back negative for cancer, but that they believed that the Dr. just " missed " and got healthy tissue. He said that with a blockage like this, it was cancer. That said, he told me of the statistics for survival. Less than 10% survive, and they only get an extra 12 months, with the last months in agony. Cancer of the Common Bile Duct. At this point, believing the Dr. that it HAD to be cancer, we decided to change her code status to DNR, and just keep her comfortable, and on the vent, so she wouldn't have to struggle to breathe. The kidney doctor said she needed dialysis, but since they were sure she had no chance, we didn't see the point in it. Yesterday, I decided to research the blockage. What I found, contradicted what the doctors had told me. It said that the majority of blockages were NOT due to cancer, but to benign tumors, and stones. Also, some of the symptoms, she just didn't have. She never lost weight, or became anorexic. There were several points in this article that I wanted to confront the doctors with. I went armed with my printout, to the hospital to talk to her nurse. She got the doctors for me right away. I told them that I HAD to know for SURE that it was cancer. I told them what I had read. I could not let my mother lay there and die from renal failure, by not doing dialysis, to find out that it was really a benign tumor. I asked how sure Dr. M was. He said 95%, he could not say 100%, because the biopsy was negative. He said that I could start her on dialysis, and see if she gets better, try to wean he off the vent. Then she could transfer to another hospital, where they can do an endoscopy and take a biopsy by needle aspiration. If she does not improve any with the dialysis, we can always stop it. So, here we are, still hanging on. Her vitals have been good. She gets very agitated, and it's so hard to see her like that. I have been at the hospital all day, every day. I just can't do that anymore. I am exhausted and overwhelmed. I don't know what God's plan is, but I know he has one. I'm not always happy with His will, as it's not always what I want. This is just still so unbelievable. Less than 2 weeks ago, she was sitting up, visiting with me. I want her healed, but if it's God's will to take her home, I pray it's quickly and peacefully. I hate to see her linger, on the vent, with wrist restraints. She hates that. She has that far away look in her eyes now. This feels too heavy for me to carry. Please keep her and the rest of us in your prayers. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hey Everyone. I heard from Trista and she asked me to forward this message to the group.Please keep her and her mom in your thoughts and prayers. hugz,cassy Re: Update on my mom Cassy, your prayers and support are much appreciated. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I have felt and seen God's blessings, even through something as heart breaking as this. The outpouring of support and love is coming from all different directions. Today my mom actually spoke. She got really restless, and was moving her head side to side. She said, "Mom!" like she was calling out to her mother. My gma died 18 years ago come July, from cancer. I asked her if she was seeing gma, and she shook her head yes. Then she would say "my God", and I asked her if she saw Jesus, or God, and she shook her head yes. She doesn't focus her eyes on us, but looks past us, over our heads. She seems to be seeing something or someone, and they are talking to her. She seemed conflicted, as if she wanted to go to her mother and God, but didn't want to leave us. I patted her and told her everything would be ok, and she said, "ok". I told her to promise to let me know she was ok, when she got over there, and she shook her head yes. Then she slept. I never would have believed this, if I wasn't there. Yesterday she started having seizures. She had 3. I was there during the last and longest one. It felt like it would never end. It lasted about 3 minutes. This had me literally on my knees at the side of the bed, begging God to take her home. Please pass this along to the group. I have been skimming and deleting most of my emails. I'm headed for a flare up. I've been having fevers on and off and feel like I'm getting the flu. I always feel this way, before a flare up. Thank you so much for your prayers. They mean the world to me. Blessings, Trista Christians who stand strong are like flowers; the more you crush them, the stronger the fragrance.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Cassy~ Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I will certainly keep Trista and her mother in my thoughts and prayers. I know this has got to be very difficult for Trista. I hate the thought of what she is going through. I pray that if she is going through another flare up that it will be mild and short-lived.

Then she would say " my God " , and I asked her if she saw Jesus, or God, and she shook her head yes. She doesn't focus her eyes on us, but looks past us, over our heads. She seems to be seeing something or someone, and they are talking to her. She seemed conflicted, as if she wanted to go to her mother and God, but didn't want to leave us. I patted her and told her everything would be ok, and she said, " ok " . I told her to promise to let me know she was ok, when she got over there, and she shook her head yes. Then she slept. I never would have believed this, if I wasn't there. Yesterday she started having seizures. She had 3. I was there during the last and longest one. It felt like it would never end. It lasted about 3 minutes. This had me literally on my knees at the side of the bed, begging God to take her home. Please pass this along to the group. I have been skimming and deleting most of my emails. I'm headed for a flare up. I've been having fevers on and off and feel like I'm getting the flu. I always feel this way, before a flare up. Thank you so much for your prayers. They mean the world to me. Blessings, Trista Christians who stand strong are like flowers; the more you crush them, the stronger the fragrance.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hi Val!! Your welcome! I know. I feel so bad for what she is going through. The whole family,my heart breaks for them. I know the odds for a flare are high right now but im hoping and praying it dosnt happen and if it does I hope it is small and dosnt last long. I know how bad stress can effect our bodys. We are thinking and praying for you Trista! luv you bunches! cassy Re: Update on my mom Cassy, your prayers and support are much appreciated. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I have felt and seen God's blessings, even through something as heart breaking as this. The outpouring of support and love is coming from all different directions. Today my mom actually spoke. She got really restless, and was moving her head side to side. She said, " Mom! " like she was calling out to her mother. My gma died 18 years ago come July, from cancer. I asked her if she was seeing gma, and she shook her head yes. Then she would say " my God " , and I asked her if she saw Jesus, or God, and she shook her head yes. She doesn't focus her eyes on us, but looks past us, over our heads.
