Mom is doing well. The medication change is somewhat helping. Her mind has been clear and she is remembering somethings really well. Ask her what she had for breakfast and she will tell you a sausage biscuit, which she has every morning. But ask her what she wants for lunch, "a sausage biscuit." She will still ask a question and then ask you same question again in 5 minutes. I guess that will never go away. Take the good with the bad.
BIL is taking Chemo again. He is not doing well this go 'round. We threw him a huge brithday party a few weeks ago and he was so happy that all his friends were able to attend. There was one friend of his that also has cancer and was not able to come. He sat around and talked with his friends about the "good ole' days". It was so good to see him laughing and smiling for a few hours.
My DH lost his grandmother yesterday. It was so unexpected and we don't know what to do. We were in Atlanta GA yesterday, all day. She got sick with what was believed to be food poisoning. This was Monday, so the doctor put her in the hospital for 24 hours observation. She was moved to the Critical Care Unit Tuesday afternoon, and the doctor wanted to do surgery on her intestines Tuesday afternoon, to see what was going on and she told them no. They believed that she had a part of her bowel that busted and caused an infection to spread all over her body. She was having issues with her breathing and she agreed to let them put her on a respirator. The family was called in around Tuesday night at midnight. The doctors did not expect her to make it through the night. We had over a 3 hour drive to get there so we left early Wednesday morning calling every 45 minutes to get an update on her condition. We got to the hospital and she was could nod her head, move her toes. We told her that we loved her and that we knew that she loved us. I believe in my heart that she was waiting on my hubby and her great grandson to get there to see her before she passed over. Everything started to close down. She left this world at 4:55 pm with her husband, children and grandchildren by her side. Her great grandchildren were not allowed to go back and see because they were too young. The nurses were so good to the family. They allowed all the family to be in there when she was leaving this world. We were all allowed to go and say our good byes. She left a wonderful legecy, one that she is very proud of. She loved us all. We will miss her so much...
