CANCER IS A M.F.

My brother has not read this blog or told me anything until today. He said I have a title for tonight’s blog CANCER IS A M----- F-----! Now, I was trying to no offend anyone so I did not put the entire words. Alan is right though with his description. This is very hard to watch for everyone and really heartbreaking is the word.

It is 9:30pm and mom is still fighting. The only thing that has really changed today is that she is carrying a fever. The fever is up and down but it is all part of this process. Your brain stops controlling your body temperature. We give her children’s Tylenol and use cold clothes and it does work. She has gotten a little more agitated today but we are giving her meds for that. Her apnea is a little longer this evening and there is some blue/purple tint to her hands and wrist.

Dad, Alan and I have spent almost the entire day in there with her and she is comfortable and surrounded by all of us.

I want to give a shout out to Michelle and Danielle they have been here for the majority of the day and have taken care of us! They have swept, cooked, cleaned out a junk drawer, watered flowers, straightened up the house and have just been a God send! Tracy is our official clothes washer and dryer....PS Tracy I do need to show you where all the ironing is located :)

Now as for Carrie hmmm what has she done well I believe her statement was "I have done nothing". But that is wrong she brought Frog sugar cookies, you know mom loves Frogs! She has also helped Danielle and Michelle and has just plain been there for us.

We appreciate and love ALL you ladies and everyone who has been a support to us thru all this!

Oh, and one last shout out to my friend Gayle. She sent us a fruit bouquet and WOW how wonderful! The best was is the Chocolate covered pineapple YUM!

I am not a Dr (although I feel I got some kind of degree in the medical field thru all this) nor can I see the future, but I don’t feel there is much time left, so I am headed up to her room now.

As always thanks for your prayers and support!!!

  2. On this day know that I am praying for you and your whole family. My heart hurts knowing what you are going thru and because I have shared the same "waiting" with other families(in my nurse role) I will share with you what I have told them. Give her permission to let go if you haven't already done so.... and turn on music... something that she really loves. And continue to talk to her. She is hearing you. My goodness she loves her family and they are there with her. God bless that. Let me know. I love you
