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.

Diane...I know you'll be busy the next few weeks, but pop in now and again

to let us know how things are going and how you are doing...we can help you

through this...I'm so glad your hubby is supportive and " there for you " , too.

That helps bunches...praying for all of you daily!! Strength and guidance

for you and less pain and suffering for your Mommy!!

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle
