I realize it's been a long time since my last post. Things have been busy here. Mom had her infusion on Friday and had been having a lot of trouble with nausea over the weekend. She had barely eaten anything since Friday evening and when I got home from practice today, she'd had little improvement. This evening she just wasn't feeling right, having some confusion and feeling disoriented, so about 7:00, she decided I should take her to the ER. It's just after 3:00 a.m. and she was admitted to the hospital. They have run some tests and aren't too concerned about infection, but are concerned with dehydration. She was given anti-nausea medication and fluids and was starting to feel somewhat better at around 2:00; although, she still was a little confused and "not feeling like herself." Please lift her up in your prayers. And the rest of us, too. It's very difficult to stand by while someone you love is going through everything Mom has had to endure in the past several months. I'm overwhelmed with so many emotions right now and find it hard to sort things out and know just how to feel and react all the time, let alone what to say and how to say it. I'm trying to keep everyone updated, but it's hard to face the reality of what's happening sometimes. Thank you all for your prayers.
