My Mom is at home. Since February 21st (imagine that.. the day my Dad passed away 16 years ago). She started to get a bit better, and tks to God the tube was removed last Tuesday so that has made her feel a lot better. With the tube she could barely speak, and barley even swallow saliva. She has a bad anemia which has put chemo on hold. She is drinking liquids and pures. I`m starting to give her baby food. I spoke with her Dr. tonight and he allowed me to give her meat and chicken Gerber. He told me to give her medicine for the anemia. Her right leg is so swollen that it hurts..this is beacaue she is retaining liquids so she has to get another medication for that. She has IV medications and IV nutrition wich goes directly to her catheter (located on her chest). Her pressure is a bit low as well as her temperature... but in spite all this she says she has no pain, and that she doesn`t feel as bad. I go to her house everday with my my baby girl since morning and stay there practically until night.My older son stays with my husband. Keep us in your daily prayers.
