Living with Mom (or rather her living with us!)





























Things are alot different here now that I am taking care of Mom. It is a bittersweet occasion for us. I love having her here! She can pretty much take care of herself, but her health is slowly going down hill. I take her to chemo every Monday and she usually does pretty good until Thurs and Fri. Bless her heart. She tries to be so strong but it makes her real sick. I always try to tell her things that helped me, and sometimes they help her and sometimes it would not help her at all. Some times the nausea gets so bad. It has sure brought back alot of my memories. It breaks my heart to see her in so much pain. I have had alot of fun shopping with her and taking her places. We will go for rides and just visit and laugh. I love this time with her when she feels good. In Sept she got really sick so I decided to take her in to the hosptial. She ended up staying for almost a week. They let her out 3 days before her 8oth Birthday. We had a birthday party down here for her and we all went to Golden Corral. We then came home and had cake and ice cream and the grand kids all came over. We really had a fun day with her. She enjoyed the day but got really tired. She really wants to go to Hawaii or Mexico. Finally she decided on Hawaii. We finalized it and are going in Nov. We are all so excited.
