My Mom is very sick-Could use good thoughts

18 years ago

and I'm not above asking for prayers!

She is in remission from ovarian cancer(about a year). But she hasn't been feeling well and losing weight, not able to eat and having trouble speaking.

She had a stroke Christmas 2007 and a small stroke January 2008. We thought all her signs were from the stroke but they did an MRI from her neck up and her cancer has metatasized to her brain.

She has a very good attitude and demeanor. She is 65. They will do a PET scan today to make sure the cancer is not anywhere else.

Please think good thoughts and prayers for my Mom today.

~~P.S. It's amazing how nothing drastic has even happened, yet two members of my family have already gotten into a heated discussion about who would get the "family bible".Shame shame......

You've got them nan. Big time prayers and good thoughts for your Mom. They could always pass the family Bible back and forth. Maybe they should try reading it too.

Oh, Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear that your mom isn't doing too well. I hope they find out something and get right on a treatment plan. It's very worrisome when our moms aren't well.

And as for family, well, sheesh. I hope it's just the stress talking and that they straighten up soon.

Good luck to Mom and you and the rest of the family, Nancy.

With one of my cats, I gave his IV at home for about a year and it worked wonders for him. He would just about come and tell me when it was time for one.He would sit there and not move , I put his cat bed up on the counter in the bathroom and he would lay down in it and I had the IV hanging from a coat hanger up high on the cabinet, it took about 10 minutes to put in the required amount and he knew exactly when it should be over and he would turn his head and gently grab my finger with his teeth LOL . Like ok now I am done! This is a gentle warning! Then he would get down and spend an hour licking himself since he had saliva again. When it got to the point that he was not bouncing back with the IV and his levels were very bad the vet said he would not be around much longer. He passed at home one night. All 3 of my kitties died from that darn kidney failure. It is so unfortunate that so many cats end up that way. But the vet said there really is not a lot of pain involved. I hope your kitty can make it through this for a while longer.

Thanks guys....I am just about shot. Don't even want to go into the family drama that happened tonight resulting in me refusing to go to my sides Christmas, but if you have been around the last few years it is the same crap another year so I am not going to subject my family to it this year. Nope not gonna happen. Good news Peyton' cyst is a thyroglossal duct cyst and should go away on its own. Hayden is starting on another 3 weeks of antibiotics and Rhiannon goes in on Christmas Eve and has her throat scoped to look for nodules on her vocal cords( the 3 were at my folks and went to the ENT dr for Peyton and had them look at the others too) Hudson is only congested in his head and they gave him another 4 days of prednisone. The poor little monkey is also in the middle of his 6 weeks of age growth spurt so wants to eat all the time, is croupy, gagging and sneezing. I know that it is just something that we will have to wait out, but enough is enough already:) Stacie

Oh, I hope they're able to figure out why she's got a fever and that they're able to whip it and that she's back home and healthy really soon, Sandra. I'm glad they kept her, though, because enforced rest is a good thing when you're that ill. (((((Sandra and Lady)))))

awww poor baby.... they sure cast bones sooner than they used to... Glad they got it on quickly... Did they make it a special color for her? Perhaps dome bling will help - give her hugs and tell her how special she is with the cast on... Prayers for the mom to survive it all.

Will say a prayer for your mom and your family. It's amazing what people will fight over. The ex's siblings fought over stupid things that their father left behind, he lived in a very old, run down dirty trailer and had basically nothing but old junk. They still managed to fight and demand things that belonged to him and his new wife. I hope your family doesn't go that route, especially since your mom isn't even gone yet. Geez.

(((Nan and mom)))

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate cancer. If hate would cure it..I have the cure! Your Mom (and you) have my Prayers!

Sounds like a couple of your family members would do well to sit down and READ that Bible!

Sending healing thoughts and prayers for your Mom. We're going thru some health things with my mom right now, too. It's hard.
I don't get why family has to be so difficult some times.
Sad.

Good thoughts and prayers going your way, Nancy.

May God's grace fill the heart of each person in your family and the measure of healing that may be possible for your Mom fill her body, mind and spirit.
