Preoccupied
This is really just a message to let people who I care about here know that I am a bit preoccupied at the moment.
My mother's health seems to be spiralling down hill and I am very concerned. She has not been able to eat properly, has a choking sensation and is bringing up pleghm. I do not need a crystal ball to tell me that this, along with her 5kg weight loss is not good.
It has all come to a head over the past few days and today my brother and his wife took her to the doctor. The doctor is taking action on a few fronts and we will have to take her for examinations and assessements later in the week.
If I am silent it is because I am finding this quite difficult and I am directing all my energy towards looking after myself.
For once I am focibly staying in the rear guard and letting family members take the inititatives. As a result family members are stepping up and taking action and for now I am in my bunker.
If I can focus I may write more but for the now the words are not flowing.

Take care of yourself. Let others step up on this one while you gather up your strength. The well has run dry and needs to be replenished. I sincerely hope your mother will be o.k.
It is hard to watch a loved ones heath fail. I hope they find out whats wrong and she starts feeling better. Hugs!!!
Keeping you in my prayers
Take care of yourself and let others help you with your mom. I hope that she is okey. Hugs Linda
The failing health of our parents is always hard to deal with. Both my parents are gone, but that is the way of life. Take care of yourself, all will be fine.

I am so glad that your family members are stepping up and taking over. You are entitled to take care of yourself considering all that you have been through. Do not feel guilty one bit! I hope your Mom regains her health in the near future. Hang in there! Hugs...Nancy

Take care of yourself, Heather, and I\'m praying that things get better for you and your Mom. I cannot imagine this happening right now for you, though it would never be easy! Mary
I know its to much to soon after your husband\'s death, try and find some peace....
I am so glad that you have family there with you to help and that they are stepping up to the plate. This would be so hard to have to deal with all by yourself. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that your mom will be alright and that you can have her with you for awhile yet. Hugs.
Heather, I\'m glad your taking care of yourself. You have my prayers as do your parents. Hugs, Pat
Thinking of you and hoping things go as well as possible. Look after yourself and be kind to yourself. Take care. Patrick
