This picture is so sweet. Mom has been through so much, and feeling so bad, but she managed a smile for me!
Yes, it's been an eventful few days. She went to the emergency room on Thursday (today is Tuesday). They admitted her for multiple reasons: chronic diarrhea due to C-diff infection, colitis, UTI, dehydration. She was feeling so horrible. She stayed in the hospital until yesterday. They were giving her IV fluids and antibiotics for the infections and dehydration.
She was discharged yesterday under Hospice care. We have a hospital bed, a bedside commode and a wheelchair in the home now for her. Man I tell you, that bed had been such a blessing. I think she really likes it too because we can keep the head of her bed up at times.
The nurse that came out today was great. They got some medicine in the home for me to give and she's all taken care of.
I just wish she would eat...or drink. She's only eating a couple of bites of yogurt, and a few sips of chocolate carnation instant breakfast. Plus sipping on water throughout the day. Not much mind you.
Tonight she told me she was dying. I asked her if she was ready and she said yes. I tell you, I had to go into the other room for a few minutes. I don't want to cry in front of her. I told her that she was going to go to heaven and that everything would be okay. I told her I would miss her.
And I will miss her....so very much....when that time comes.
