Hi Thom

Good i'm glad to got to talk to your Mom. because before you know it your parents are gone. I lost my Dad 13 yrs ago . We saw doc last week, Mom is home and going to stay there Doc is going to come to see her.He told us we would be able to keep her at home as we did with Dad. She is holding her own right now, good and bad days but we make the best of them. I got a bad cold so i'm staying away for a couple of days unless something happens. My 3 sisters are there daily so that helps out. Mom is on oxygen at night and oxycontin for pain. doc said when that doesn't work she will go on a patch which is good, but for now we are enjoying the time we have and are so happy when she is having a good day.
I urge all of you Call your parents or parent because the thougth of not having one is scaring the hell out of me now. To think i wont be able to pick up the phone and say hi makes me so very sad
Thanks for your thoughts
Joanne

Thank you for the update, Joanne. You remain in my prayers.
 
Hi Joanne, Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. My Mom had a CT this AM. It looks like her cancer is back. We'll find out tomorrow. I have been thinking of you so much, especially this weekend when we found out about my Mom. Take care. Hope you feel better. Maybe being away for a few days can be a bit restful for you. I know how exhausting this can be and how much you want to be with your Mom right now. Karen
 
Joanne, I am so sorry for what lies ahead. Be strong, share all the memories with your Mom. Talk as much with her as possiable, be with her. I did this with my Dad two years ago, and it help me accept what I didn't want to. But, I was able to say good bye.-----The following helps me everytime (which is always) I think of him.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.

many of us have been in your shoes. It is scarry for us and for our loved one. We had 2 days notice with Dad and a weeks notice with Mom. These precious days and hours were the worst and the best of our lives. Loving thoughts poured out of us all. We held each other and when the time came for them to cross over they were surrounded and held in our arms,just as they did for us when we were born, I condidered it the greastest privaledge to be there for them. The DR's will take care of the pain,you and your familoy will take care of the heart, and when she has crossed over to paradise you can rejoyce because there is no more pain.

Please get "embraced by the Light" by a lady named betty eades..It gave me comfort then and now when I need reassurance that life is eternal to our spirit.

may God bless you and your family and may your mother have a peaceful passing.
 
This is just sad. We need to pool together and help Joanne, imagine running a business and dealing with this on top? Could someone please step forward and collect? I don't have a terminal, Please?
 
Oh Thom

Thanks for thinking of me, but all i need from all of you here is your kind thoughts. I have a great staff and i am still working , as Mom is only about 3 minutes away.I know when the time draws near Doc will let us know and then my staff will step up tp the plate as they have done the last 4 times this has happened. Sadly my Sis from BC goes home tomorrow and that is gonna be a tear jerker but we will have the better part of the day together before she leaves. I am going to see doc today to get something for this damdable cold, geez i've been up since 3 am , ended up sleeping in the lazy boy chair lol
Thanks my dear friends
Joanne
