Another update on my mom

[Guest guest]

We met with the hospice people today. My Mom will be going home

tomorrow and we'll have to see if I have to constantly be there or not--

the nurse thinks my Mom can be by herself sometimes and I'm working on

my sister to help me some. I do want to be there for my Mom but just

knowing I'm not going to have to deal with this by myself helps me

tremendously. I do feel better after talking to the hospice people--it

seems they will help in any way they can. The hospital does have her

on medication that takes a lot of the pain away. My Mom actually has a

little more appetite and feels like doing stuff. We are hoping to get

her out to have some fun--who knows what could happen.

I will keep posting when I know more but I want to thank all of you for

your support and prayers and the helpful advice. You all help me more

than you know. If it weren't for all of you and my husband I would

fall apart.

Thank you so much and please take care of yourselves.

I am glad you talked to hospice since your sister is not there they

will be a big help to you. I am not sure where your mom is right

now, (in her health) I know my mom was up and driving then she was

down it just kind of came over her. spend as much time with her as

you can. tell her you love her every day. I think i am jsut

starting to wind down to realize my mom is gone and i wish i had just

a bit more time. SO stay with her as long as you can, you will be

the better for it
