It has been a week since I last wrote and thank you all for your words and concerns… the Dr has done all he can do, we have started hospice for mom. We had a scan done of her bladder and intestines and they are clear. No obstructions. So it looks like the cancer spreading …She started going down quick last week and I just had a hard time accepting it.
She was in alot of pain, but we finally have that under control. She spent a full day yesterday of vomiting and since she has not eaten for days and has not been drinking, she was vomiting up bile and then black. As far as I know she has not gone to the bathroom, either one for a week… Her stomach has gotten bigger, is twice the size in just one day…. and she says she feels bloated.
Today is a different story….. I can tell she is dehydrated, by her mouth, but she seems alert and even has gotten out of bed a few times to visit although she is extremely unsteady… I don’t understand….She was even drinking some water today.. This is such a roller coaster ride. And I don’t like it…. could she be starting to get better or is it the calm before the storm? Hospice says we do not know, we leave this earth as we come into it, not knowing the time or day. Thank you all….
