It's officially Mother's Day weekend, and this one will probably be the hardest I'll ever have. They've told us not to expect mom to make it through the weeked. She has deteriorated rapidly over the last few days and the confusion has gotten so much worse. Mom called me Jimmy several times today (her brother), and is referring to Carol as 'Mommy'.
She's not throwing up at all, but that's because she has stopped drinking and eating completely. They had to increase her medicine because we literally could not control her. She was trying to get out of the bed and doing crazy things, and even now, when she gets it in her mind to do something, we have to tackle her to keep her from doing it.
I'm being faced with a lot of very tough decisions so my prayer now is that God will be in control and continue to give us all peace and strength.
To my dear sweet friend Holly who has lost her Mom - my heart is with you sweet friend. Try to enjoy your mother's day and let yourself be loved by your sweet baby girl and husband :-). (And I may need this same advice next year). Love to you all...

Love you Linds. I wish we were not on this journey, but I hope my experience can help me to help you in the coming months. Thinking of you 24/7. Xoxo
ReplyDeletehello lindsi...I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Cathi has been like a mother to me. I will look forward to the time that i will see her again. Words cannot express how thankful I am for having her as a part of my life. The song "Thank You for Giving to the Lord"by Ray Boltz comes to my mind...There is going to be an endless amount of people coming to her to thank her for being a part of their life. I love her and I am praying for all of you. Brenda
