Thank you for the responses.

They attempted a liver resection but were unsuccessful. I speak to her frequently and she had all of her staples removed 2 weeks post-op. She is continuing to get better every day. I am finding it to be difficult to live in Illinois when my Mom lives in Nebraska. I wish I could be there for her every day but with work it is impossible to be there more frequently. I have already begun to use some FMLA days and can’t afford to take too much time off. I work with adults with mental illness and find it difficult to care too much about their problems when I have my own. I have been struggling with depression since I was 20 and have been doing very well the last 2 years but this has thrown me for a loop. My husband and I just got married in April and I was planning to go back to school to be a nurse (following in Mom’s footsteps) but find myself really wanting to have a baby so that Mom can be there. It is a very difficult decision because I know I want her to be there but my husband isn’t quite ready and if I want to go back to school, we should wait. I guess I’m glad that Norm has a definite opinion because I’m not the type to push him to have kids until he is ready and we would like to get out of debt first. I don’t know…I guess we’ll have to discuss it again in a while. I’m not sure if I want feedback on this dilemma or not but I wanted to tell someone about what I’m feeling.

Thanks

Becky
