Never say "things can't get worse." I promise you they probably can. When I woke up this morning, I thought mom cannot get any worse - I could have never imagined my mom like this though. She's skin and bones and now completely unable to speak...yet still fighting.
I've gotten random beautiful gifts today though amidst the pain. This morning, she said what I am sure will be her last words to me. It was 6am and I was alone with her praying before the sun came up - I started to cry and she looked over at me and with complete clarity said "don't cry baby." I haven't heard her speak again today, but randomly when she moans, I've leaned in and said "linds is here momma" and she has managed a smile. I will hold on to these things forever.
The nurse said today her heart is so strong and is working so hard (how true that has been all of mom's life in so many ways.) However, her heart rate has dropped significantly and they can no longer get her blood pressure to even read.
I cannot thank you enough for the thoughts and prayers and constant love you all have been sending our way. Happy mothers day to you all who have been "mothers" to me.
