Mom is at the Rockyview Hospital still, and things are going better, and worse all at the same time. Mom s cancer has spread, it is now through the diaphram and into the right lung, as well as in the abdomin. They are hoping to get mom home hopefully this weekend, barring that she remain fever free the rest of the week. Home care and Pallitive care is being set up so that mom can enjoy what time is left in the comfort of familiar surroundings. She will be staying at Oma and Opas house, for now, other back up plans are also in place, if and when things change.
Mom was up and at em today. She was up and dressed, she is speading time reading Gods word and spending time in prayer and enjoying every day that God is giving her on this earth. She is truly enjoying Baby Tori, and just cant stop smiling when she has Tori in her arms, she talks so highly of her as well, and she glows when people see Tori in her arms and she says this is my first grand baby, Victoria! Makes my heart leap for Joy. Mom calls Tori her baby Joy!
Spending time as a family is so important to us right now. We love to laugh together and we cry together too. There is a song that says...Say what you need to say....so important in the face of terminal cancer.
I asked mom if she felt like she was fighting a loosing battle and she said physically yes, Spiritually no, has it thrown it for a loop for sure, but we will put our hope in the everlasting life that God has promised those who choose to follow him. ( Titus)
As we her family and friends watch helplessly as Cancer takes over her body, we find some moments to be so difficult and we just wish that she would get better. However cancer is part of this world, but so is the support and love of family. Please know that all your thoughts and prayers help us not to feel so alone in this very difficult time as we watch the Mighty mouse, fight for her life, and fight for time, and physical comfort.
Also she does not mind to have visitors, however please plan on keeping your visit fairly short as exhustion is a part of the process, mom tipically has an afternoon nap around 3 pm, and again just after dinner. Moms bulletin board in her room is filling up with cards and Mom loves it!
Mom is in Unit 82, room 8220 Bed #2. She is on the 8th floor.
Keep the prayers coming!!!
God Bless!
With love in Christ,
Alida, Wilma and family!!
