Update on Mother

I received a call Sunday morning that Mom wasn't doing well and they couldn't hear any heart tones. Here it is 48 hours later and she is still hanging tough. Hospice has her on Roxinol for her pain, yet when she can she will open her eyes and kiss me.

Yesterday I got into bed with her and just held her. That is the greatest WOW moment that I have had to date. I wouldn't have been able to do that before WLS.

Last night her blood sugar was 29. She isn't able to swallow with out choking so we poured little packets of sugar under her tongue. At one point she woke up enough to realize she had sugar in her mouth and you could tell that she really enjoyed that.

We will see what today brings. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I will be posting again when I get a chance.(((((HUGS))))) Rita

My heart goes out to you! I am sad to hear about your mother! I will keep you both in my prayers! If I was closer I would come and hug you myself!

 Prayers and Hugs for you and your family.

Rita I am so sorry that you are going through all of this.  It's so hard to watch those we love struggle and linger.  I'm also so glad you were able to lay in bed with her and hold her.  That indeed is a huge WOW moment that you will be able to take with you forever!!  You and your Mom most definately are in my thoughts and prayers!  Take care of yourself as well during these hard times.   (((HUGS))) back at ya!!  Deb

Rita -  ((((HUGS)))).....I know how hard this is, and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your Mom. Stay strong!

Rita, my heart goes out to you.  My uncle is no longer swallowing well, so it's pretty much just a matter of time.

I do believe people go when they are ready to go, so like you, I'm not trying to impose my own time table on things.  What will be will be.  I try to bring the proper energy to the table when I visit-I work on peaceful acceptance-because that's really all I can do at this point.

Keeping you and your mother in my thoughts and prayers. May God hold you tight during this trying time..

Huge Hugs,

Dear Rita,
I send my biggest  to you. I have precious memories of my time with my mom, before she left this world for a better one. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." It is a time of rejoicing, in Heaven. It's hard for us who are still here, though. Love will get you, and your mom, through.
Blessings,
Mary

Rita,

You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers. How wonderful that you can be with your mom at this time. They will be memories to get you through the difficult time ahead. I lost my mom 8 years ago this week. She was visiting me from New York when she passed away but it happened so fast that I was not able to be with her. I still struggle with that memory.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR MOTHER. I AM THINKING ABOUT YOU!!
