On my way...and my mother is holding on to life...Pray!

Dec 29, 2008

Well folks, I had my PMRI appt yesterday with the Nurse prac. and Psychologist. I was down to 322.8 from328 on 12/5.The psych cleared me and now I have to get blood drawn, and wait for my next appts. I scheduled endocrinologist after I left PMRI - I told them the psych cleared me today so to avoid prolonging stuff I just went ahead and got an appt. and they booked  me with the nutritionist a half hour before the endocrinologist. Good thing because there were no appts avail. till 2/19. So, here are my appts:

-mandatory seminar- 11/08- DONE
consult with surgeon- 12/5- DONE
-nurse prac- 12/29 DONE
-psych- 12/29 DONE
-life skill classes- 1/5, 1/12. and 1/19
-pulmonologist- 1/6
-cardiologist- 1/7
-nutritionist- 2/19
-endocrinologist- 2/19

I hope to have surgery in mid-March or mid-April


Now, on to my mom. It is really hurtful seeing her hooked up with tubes. She was a candidate fro dialysis and then the docs determined she would be too weak to withstand it. They talked hospics but my dad and I said no, let's go with the central line/feeding tube. Ethically, I just wanted to know that as a family we did all we could do to sustain her. She opened her eyes from time to time and tried to talk. I have cried so much over the past few days and even my 7 yr old knows Im sad and has wiped my tears. She wants Grandma to come home too and tells me Mommy I prayed for Grandma today. I continue to trust God because HE has the final say. Faith must go beyond what I SEE and I have to rest assured that God is still in control.

Well. I will post later....God bless you everyone!
