My mom was just admitted to the hospital again. She is in alot of pain. The doctor is going to try and work out a schedule of pain meds that will work but not make her out of it. If we can not come up with a schedule we are going to have to give her alot of meds to make her comfortable and call in hospice. Chemo might also have to be stopped because her platelets are not staying up. Please say some prays. we really need some right now.

" I will keep you and your mother in my prayers.

I am sorry she is in so much pain and I hope they find the right meds to get her relief.

I hope you find some peace in this storm and please do not forget to take care of yourself. You can be of no use to your mom if you fall apart and get ill.

Hang in there.

" I wanted to update everyone. My moms doctor talked to my dad, he said its just a matter of time before she passes. She isn't eating or drinking, her blood counts won't stay up. She had a transfusion on friday 9th but her counts are back down, so she hasn't been able to do chemo either. She mostly sleeps, last night she was awake when we went to visit her. And she said hi but was still quite confused. Today she is sleeping, a friend of mine and myself went and saw her today around lunch time. Glen (my friend, we have know him since 2004) said hi, she opened her eyes to look at him but wouldn't say anything to him. She wouldn't even open her eyes when i said hi. I don't know what i will do without my mom. "

" You will remain in my prayers, along with your mom.

It is good that you still visit her. Even though she appears confused, belive that she's aware, on some level, that you are there and that she draws comfort from it. I believe it and so should you. After she passes, at least you will know you did all that you could to make her last days comfortable and surrounded by love.

I pray for a miraculous remission and full recovery for your mom but also for peace and comfort for you and your family in the event of her passing.

You are not alone. Please do not forget to take care of yourself.

" Comfort care has now started. She has had a long and hard 3 year battle and its time to stop. She fought hard but her body can't do it anymore. I love her and will miss her more than anything but she is in pain and its just time. :( "
