Mummy Update

Sometimes life would be much easier if you could get

answers to your questions.

I arrived Wednesday to find mum having a terrible day, she had a 

fall on Tuesday night in which she hurt her back, gave herself a

black eye and other bruises, she was in and out of sleep thanks to

über strong painkillers.

Thursday she was in a lot of pain and had lots of visitors. I made dad cry

when I suggested I made quilts out of all her orphan blocks to donate

to the cancer clinic who have been looking after her.

Today was a great day, she was alert and talking telling us her plans

for when er time finally does come, I wanted a rough idea of how long

she had left with us so I spoke to one of her drs which resulted in a flood

of tears to the point I had to walk away and have some time out. Mums 

gorgeous nurse followed me and we had a great chat.

Basically it's the great unknown, she has maximum 3 months, my dilemma is

do I fly home on Friday as planned or do I wait here for another week, dh keeps

saying to stay as long as I need, but I just can't decide.

Dad is loving the company and I don't want to leave him on his own 

again, mum is worried about him, I worry about him.

So very hard to know what the right thing to do is.

He asked me to not bring the girls home for her funeral, and I will honour

his request, he told me he wants them to remember Grandma as they have

always known her, not how she is now.

She is still in hospital, she might be coming home but more likely to be 

transferred to the palliative care ward at one of the private hospitals. She has

high medical needs that will only increase the further she declines.

Keep praying for her please, and for my family. Our time together is getting shorter

with each passing day.

I will miss her terribly.
