[You Need a Thneed]

Thanks all. We have not given up hope, though if it is her time to go, we hope that she doesn't have to suffer in a long drawn out thing. We believe in a God who has the power to heal. We know of others that have been closer to death than my mom is right now, then have recovered, and lived on for another 20 years, so we know that it is possible.

We are trying to enjoy the last days we have with her, even if she can't really communicate with us too well. She's really drowsy, and tired. It's also hard when she's in a hospital room, even with the private room she's in, there still isn't nearly enough room for everyone to be in her room all at once. My dad applied for a place in a hospice today, that would allow us to be able to enjoy her last days as much as possible.

The cancer she has now, is metastasized from the breast cancer she had before, and is in her colon and her small intestine.

Ever since last Thursday, I've driven across town at least once a day to visit - from the NE to Foothills hospital, the kms and time spent in traffic add up.

So, people, get your regular checkups and screenings, and especially if you have had cancer before.
