Sorry I haven't updated in a while. My Mom has been moved to a rehab hospital as of last Tuesday. She is better in some ways but will never be her old self again. We found out with all the stuff she has going on ( prolapsed uterus, tumor on her ovaries, mass on her hip, MRSA, and she also has severe dementia) she will not be able to have surgery for any of it because she is too frail and would not come out of surgery. So it is sad to say she will have to suffer with pain. My Dad is holding up well for now getting tired. He does not want to accept the fact that her mind is not right because sometimes she knows you and sometimes she is a child again. This is the hard part for me, because when she gets to come home in a couple of weeks my Dad is her primary caregiver. I don't think he wants to admit that she sometimes doesn't know who he is even. His Mother had Alzheimer's and didn't know him at all and he took that very hard. My Dad turns 81 on Sept. 9 and gets around very well. My Mom & Dad celebrated 61 years together on Feb. 8. Last June (2007) we all got together and they renewed their vows for a 60Th wedding anniversary party and all the children and grand and great grands were all there! We have wonderful pictures thank god after that my Mom's health has went down hill. I seen her for her birthday in March and she looked bad, but when I went a couple of weeks ago and seen her in the hospital she looked very frail she is down to 106 lbs now.
So thank you for all the prayers, thoughts and words of kindness they all mean so much to me that everyone cares. Please keep them coming. My Mom is a very strong person but it is in Gods hands now.
Hugs Terri
