My Mom also had a blood clot. She had been on blood thinners since last year for atrial fib. They took her off of it when she had been diagnosed with CC in April. During her last stay in the hospital, they found a blood clot in the pulmonary vein. The official cause of death was cc but I still think that the blood clot had something to do with it because in the hospital, she had just finished using the restroom and the nurses were helping her back into bed and she had trouble catching her breath and slipped away. It’s very interesting to hear of other’s experiences along the same line.
AmyPeanut,
I know some people say they know what you are going through. Reading your post, it sounds like something I could have written. I lost my Mom last Wed. I lived with her. My birthday is in a few weeks. She passed in the hospital and there are times I just tell myself she is there so that I don’t feel so alone. The day before she died, I had the hospital call me to tell me she would be released soon and to make sure that the plan was for me to bring her home. My brother is here with the kids and he leaves tomorrow. There is no way anyone can replace our Mothers. They gave us life, they nurtured us and most of all loved us with their whole heart. They are never going to be away from us. To get through this, I try to tell myself one “joy” of the day and enjoy it. It’s hard to think of the next day, hour, minute or second without them. But they wouldn’t want us to do that. And you have to take a deep breath, tell your Mom you love her, because I know she can hear you, and continue being the daughter your Mom raised and was proud of. I hope you have found some comfort from these words.
AmyThank you everyone. I think things are starting to hit me know. The visitation is today. I was on antibiotics before my Mom passed and now I am running a fever. I don’t know how to get through today and then add in the fever. My brother and his kids are staying with me in our house(I lived with my Mom) and my niece, I believe is coming down with chicken pox. It just doesn’t make anything easier. And my birthday is in 2 1/2 weeks. I turn 30 and I won’t have my Mom and I miss her sooooo much.
She, like so many others it seems, was diagonsed at Stage IV. It was found in the liver and there are some spots in the lungs. She is not a candidate for surgery. I am hoping that she responds to the chemo because I want to keep her around for a very long time. Thanks for the response everyone. Before signing up I had been lurking and reading others experiences.
