May 5, 2011

Where does one even begin to describe today?

Last night was probably one of Mom's best nights. She had a wonderful evening last night she joked, laughed, even had everyone playing the "What I like about my neighbor is..." game (twice), and then slept well throughout the night.

So what started out to be such a good day quickly turned into her worst. The doctors really struggled to get ahead of the pain and nausea for hours with no success at all. It all but tore our hearts out. Finally around 3:00pm they were able to do what she had been aching for all day, let her rest. This disease has progressed to point where the only relief she is receiving is from sedation. She is receiving medication through IV that will keep her relaxed and sedated. She is comfortable now, which is comforting to us to see her peaceful and relieved.
