Ann, Im so sorry that your mom is so sick and that you are going to a rough time. I hope that your tests come back fine, probably is all the stress you are going thru. Please I know is hard but try to relax and take care of yourself. Please keeps us posted. I will have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I know how hard it is when our moms are ill. My mom was sick for years with renal failure and was on dyalisis. She also developed renal cancer which spread very quickly to her other organs, so we lost our mom at the age of 54 on July 7, 2000. She is being gone for 5 years and I still cann't believe it. I missed her so much.

God bless you and your family Ann. May the comfort of the Holy Spirit and God's healing hands give you the peace and solace you need at this time.

What a blessing that your mom and your family has had for her to be here for 87 years!

Take care! :lovewings

I am so sorry to hear about your mother you and your family will be in my prayers.

I'm sorry to hear about your Mother. You and Your family are in my prayers. I do hope that she gets better. I know that in Hospice care they will take good care of her. You need to take care of yourself to.

All of our prayers are with you
never underestimate the power of prayers
God Bless you Ann

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. She is going to a better place, a place were she wont be tired anymore she will be refreshed and happy. Surround her with your love and be sure to tell her just how special she is and how much you love her.

My friends father passed away last summer but before he went we all wrote our thoughts and what he means to us and we were able to read it to him before he went, I thought it was so special that he was able to spend his last days hearing just how special he is.

Talk to God, try to give your worries to him he will help ease the pain during this difficult time. I will be praying for you and your mom.

God bless you both.

I know what you are going threw i lost my mother 2 years ago she had a massive stroke that left her paralized on her right side so she had to have a feeding tube put in her other wise she would choke. she could not swallow and yhen 2 years and 6 months to the day august 22 2004 i lost my dad in a car accident ,and then just a few weeks ago i lost my brother in law due to liver failure ,the one thing i would say is spend as much waking hours with her and take care of your self . i will pray for your family .

My prayers are with you, lost my Stepdad a little over a yr ago from the same thing !

UPDATE

I went to have my Stress Test today and found out that they don't do them at that office....so have to take another day off and have it done tomorrow at the downtown office. My husband says it is just as well because I need to stay home and rest anyhow. I talked to my sister a little while ago and she said that the hospice nurse called her in amazement! She said that our mother is amazing, and a very strong woman. They found her this morning trying to get out of bed. Not only did she have her feet off the bed, but they were on the floor!!!! So they decided to sit her up in a wheel chair. She was sitting in the hallway smiling at everyone! She is a little confused, but they are going to try to get her back on a regular diet and see how she does. My niece went in on her lunch break and didn't see mother in her bed and rushed to the nurses station to ask where she was. They went down the hall and there she was sitting up and smiling at them. She said that someone had to get her to Gainesville to get the "Nash" the car that she and my dad got married in, and that she needed to see Eva, her sister. All of the nurses are astonished. We don't know what to think. Could be just the rally before the end, but she has everyone baffled. :)

I'm going to try to post a picture in the gallery of her a few weeks ago when I took Copper up to see her. If I can get it on there, I will paste the page on here. The picture is too large to post here.

you see, so many of us prayed and prayed, and prayers have been answered.
i'll keep praying for her....and for you, take it easy ok...

Here we are a few weeks ago.

brought tear to my eyes.. your mom reminds me of my grandma so much.
especially when i saw her walker on the side...ive never seen my grandma
without one.... you and mom are in my thoughts

I went through something similar not too long ago with my grandmother, who had always been like a second mother to me. You are certainly in my thoughts and prayers.
