CrohnsChat: UPDATE

UPDATE

Posted by chip on 5/5/2008, 11:44 pm, in reply to "Re: not long to go now!"

MUM, stable BUT sleeps 20 hours a day and needs pain meds most of that, still got her sense of humour, though confused and slurring speech, even without pain meds. Fully incontinent and bed ridden now, and yet only two weeks ago was hobbling round front room bossing us all around (affectionately - bless!!)
breathing very laboured and pumps on stand for giving morphine by injections as no longer tolerating meds orally..

Still love her to bits and when she stroked my head yesterday and asked my aunt to make sure i was always ok, i had to leave the room, to hold back the tears. Got the Marie Curie cancer night nurse staff in tonight so my dad will sleep which means he can do the morning shift tomorrow so i get a bit of a rest till 12 noon. Been discussing funeral plans and what to do when "it's time" so dad is prepared. But in the mean time, enjoying each precious extra hour i get with my mum.
hugs
(exhausted) chip xx
