EMOTIONAL DISASTER

Carmen, thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers for mom. I have prayed and have left her in God's hands. That his will be done. I just pray he'll lay his healing hands on her so she can be with us for a while longer. Don't misunderstand, she's not at deaths door. But it's so shocking to see how weak she got so quickly. Hopefully her pcp will see her either Monday or Tuesday and he can give her something to bust her energy. Donna

((((((Donna)))))) So sorry that you are going through this now....Have your mom call her dr asap and get checked out!!!! This is nothing to wait and see about.....We are here for you and many many prayers going out to you and your family....Hugs Judy

Judy, I'm planing to take her to her pcp either Monday or Tuesday to see if there's anything he can give her to boost her energy. Thanks for keeping her in you prayers. Donna

Oh, Donna...I'm so sorry that your family is going through this. It is so hard to be the caregiver and not have anyone to help you. I can't even imagine what you are going through. My mom is my best friend and I just can't imagine her being sick. My heart goes out to you. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Will she be getting more tests run soon? Please keep us updated on how she is doing. HUGE HUGS!!!! Tabby

Hey tabby, the hugs felt great, thanks! I'm hoping to take mom to her pcp on Monday or Tuesday, what he can do I don't know. I hope he'll be able to give her a b-12 shot or something else to boost her energy. Like you, mom is my best friend and it hurts that she's hurting and there's only so much I can do. Thanks for putting her in your thoughts and prayers. It's wonderful knowing there's such a great bunch of people here who will list while I let out my feelings and emotions that I don't want mom to see. Thanks again, donna

Donna, I really feel for you hun. I know this is very hard on you...specially with it being your mom. I have never gone threw anything like that before as I still have both parents and without them I don't know what I would do. I know it is really going to be hard on me once they start slipping into the elder years if they don't come down with some horrible disease like cancer or heart problems before hand. They religiously go for check-ups every six months and have all the test ran for colon cancer which runs in the family on both sides and mom has her mamagrams (sp?) done all the time. I am scared to death that all the problems that my son has but on the family with getting into sooo much trouble lately that it has taken a couple years off of them. I will say this about your situation as well as mine. Let God carry your burden. That is what he is there for. I am not a real religious person but I think I am very spirital. I know there is a God up there and he has a purpose for us all. He knows what is in store for us our whole life and how and when we will die. There isn't much that anyone can do when troubling life crisses arise. You have to put things in his hands and be strong for your mom. Enjoy everyday you have together and let her know how much you love her. I am sure she already knows but just put it out there to remind her....that will give her comfort. I really hope that she gets better soon and you can stop worrying about what could happen. I know we all would like to keep are parents around forever...it makes our life easier but just think about what God has in store for her and find comfort in that. I don't want to sound cruel but if she is getting tired of the fight let her know that it is ok to give up. I am sure it is a terrible battle and a person can only take so much till their body will give up. Just be strong my friend and know we are all here for you when you need us. Lisa S.

Lisa, as you, I'm not a very religious person but I do put my faith in God. I have put mom in his hands and know his will will be done. I'm just hoping this is a small set back due to her body adjusting to not having any chemo running through it. (praying) she's not so debilitated that she's bed ridden, she gets up in the moring, dresses, walks to the kitchen and eats her breakfast but this tires her out. I'm racking my brain trying to figure out ways to boost her up. I've started making ice cream milk shakes w/ regular carnation instant breakfast and a scoop of my pro-complex protein. Thanks so much for the wisdom and support. Donna

Sending several ****hugs*****your way!! My prayers are with you and your family! This is a rough time for you...I do know what you are going through I lost my mom to a stroke in 2004 and she hung on for 3 days she was my world. I pray that all turns out great for you and your mom. We never know how strong we are until we go through something like this. If you ever need to talk or a shoulder to cry on please let me know!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!!! God Love You All!!!! Hugs,

Angela, thanks so much for the prayers, hugs and keeping mom in your thoughts. Is so hard seeing you mother going through something you have no control over, as you so well know. Thanks for the support of your shoulder donna

Donna, I'm sending a huge hug to you right now, hope you can feel it. Please don't keep things bottled up, feel free to dump on us whenever you need to, that's what friends are for! Sending earnerst prayers for a great day for your mom today. -Patti
