The last few days
Posted Dec 22, 2010 9:40pm
Yesterday my Mom was moved out of ICU :) !!! This is a good
sign. She no longer needs critical care. Her blood pressure has
been regulated and her respirations have improved. The last few
days have been a significant improvement for my Mom. She went from
almost no energy- to sitting up right and talking :) And even
telling my dad what to do :) We know she's feeling more like
herself... and we are HAPPY that the old reyna is bouncing
back.
The last two nights, have been much better, she was able to rest. Last night not so much because my mom is concerned and worried about the "unknown" of Chemo. So last nights rest was not the best. She is due to start chemo either today or tomorrow. They did find some bacteria in her urine so they are treating that before Chemo begins. They want to make sure her body is fully ready for what the chemo will bring. She will also be receiving a platelet transfusion from what my dad tells me. Her white blood counts continue to go down, and this is exactly what we need to happen.
My Mom is strong !! so strong. And she is fully aware and ready to fight this- she will begin a 3 and 7 regimen of chemo. After 1 week, she will be checked and we hope at that time she continues to improve. By that time, we should also have the bone marrow biopsy results back, which will give us more information.
My mom asked me to cut her hair :( this was hard for me, but I know her and she would prefer to have most of it out of the way before she begins loosing it. So I did my best ( cutting hair is not my profession so it was interesting to say the least- but I had fun taking care of my mamma bear) but my Mom was there guiding me, and even cutting it herself at times. :) She's always wanted it shorter anyway... so as she put it "now I have an excuse to have short hair " [as she laughs ...] She's in good spirits and I know she can beat this thing!!!!! WE ALL KNOW SHE CAN BEAT THIS THING! My mom's upbeat spirits gives the rest of us assurance that she will win.
MOM, i love you and I'm with you ALWAYS in your heart, your soul- My strength will be your strength, my love for you will be your energy to pull you through- WE will be here every single step of the way. I promise you. And Dad, your love for mom, is so amazing- and her love for you- THIS LOVE, the love our family has, WILL CONQUER anything. I'm proud of you and admire you. Thank you for loving us all with such deep, deep, unconditional love. I love you both so much. Gin
