Mom's numbers have been dropping throughout the weekend. She received several transfusions and tires very easily. Yesterday, for the first time, mouth sores began. This morning she was exhausted and was experiencing more pain with discomfort talking. Poor thing. Poppie and I were teasing her that she better not speak as much and simply observe. As you know, this is more painful for her than actually speaking. Seriously, little Momma Ruthie is once again suffering. It is heart breaking.
It was very difficult leaving this morning for SD. Mom, I and Poppie found some comfort saying goodbye for now knowing Kimmy and I will be back in Rochester in about a month. The past 5 months have absolutely been a roller coaster of emotions, especially for me. I need not go into detail on that topic.
All I can say, is my highlights and focus in life right now is being with Kimmy, Shayna Punum, my family, a few close friends and especially Mom and Poppie. Mom and I repeatedly share how much we mean to each other, truly like and respect each other, and are thankful we have the time we have to create new wonderful memories together. OK, enough of that.
Today, Mom is receiving another transfusion and is at the hospital with Poppie for 3-4 hours. Poppie is biting at the bit to order a large pepperoni pizza while waiting for Mom. Mom is having him order something healthier, soup and a salad for example. Hey, it works for them, wink. They still are so cute and sometimes annoying to observe their attempts to control each other. After all, it is their way of flirting. I respect that, wink.
More to come later.
Hugs and love,
Karen
