Mom had a very rough night. All symptoms that began yesterday rolled throughout the night into the morning. The Dr.'s were able today to give her some medication to decrease some of her symptoms. Mom is on day 10 of her treatment. The following 11 days will be the most challenging. Mom will be combating a plethora of uncomfortable to painful experiences.
Today was very similar to yesterday with increased symptoms. Mom is struggling to stay positive. Amongst all the pain she is forcing herself to walk a bit with me. I will soon push her to eat a bit more rest a good half hour and walk again with me. She said she prefers when I work on her instead of walking. Of course I said after a decent walk I would work on her until she falls asleep. A little bribe never hurt anyone, wink.
Before I left for the night I gently massaged Mom until she was resting a bit more soundly. I went left a bit after 10pm.

Aunt Ruthie and Uncle Seymour,
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of love, prayers and healing energy from Wyoming, not to mention lots of dog kisses from Sage and Max. I am so glad Karen could be with you while you work your way through those powerful cocktails they serve you daily. When you are ready for a care package from Wyoming, just let me know.
By the way, basketball season is just getting started. Bri is going out for the girl's team and Kermit is coaching the boy's team. It is going to be a long winter. I will keep you posted on how they are doing if Poppy doesn't beat me to it. Their first games will be December 11th.
Hugs and kisses
Wendy, Kermit, Bri and the Boys

ReplyDeleteAll our thoughts and love are with the three of you, you are such an inspiration in strength and family support.
The blog idea is AWESOME! Thank you so much for giving us all a way to track the progress and send our love!
Karen, the hospital there HAS to have some hydrotherapy baths. You should work some of your Jedi mind control over the nurses to convince them to let you get some PT time in there.
Seymour, stop chasing the nurses!
Love you all,
Mark and Renee
