The Latest Developments

I'm sorry it has been a while since my last post. It has been a very rough couple of weeks. Mom is staying pretty confused because of the levels of meds and the state of her current health. So some days she remembers why things are the way that they are and other times she doesn't. We've had to have a lot of conversations multiple times, and you find you can only remind someone you love a couple of times that there is nothing else the doctors can do before you just want to stop having the conversation and breaking her heart and your own for the 100th time.

She is throwing up more and more each day, and now her feet are starting to swell and bruise. Apparently this is a sign that her body is shutting down so we are preparing ourselves for a few more weeks at the most.

She still tells me some days that things are going to work themselves out and she just knows this blockage will resolve itself. She just knows she's going to be fine again. I'm not sure how much of this she still truly believes and how much of it is just ingrained from years and years of fighting this disease. I tell her she's right and it is all going to be ok - I tell her this because I know God is taking care of her every step of the way and when the end does come, she will finally be ok in a way she hasn't been for 8 years. She will finally be cancer free.
