in brief

[jawnbc]

Ma is a bit better today: less panicked, breathing a bit easier. But still distressed and anxious. She’s afraid of being put into a regular hospital bed (she’s in ICU), in case she loses her breath. Again. But she loves her new portable DVD player--hopefully that will keep her mind off things.

I’ve been jet lagged and numb all day: a different kind of feeling that the sharp pain of Wed-Friday. Certainly not better, but different.

Tomorrow I hope to have enough wits to get some work done between hospital visits. And I’ll stay behind when Da leaves: to date I’ve had no more than 10 minutes with Ma at any given time. Which means a maximum of 30 minutes a day. Today was only 20 minutes. Not good enough.

Maybe I should hire a car....

Continued thanks for kind thoughts and wishes....

Gah! Just catching up with this. Mothers are hard to come by. I hope she's comfortable soon.

My mother lost her life to tobacco. Want to be Thelma to my Louise?

Hi mate: Sounds like you are holding up ok. Your mum must have been so happy to see you and I am sure that was the greatest gift you could give. Your man is giving you great support. I do not think I could have got through my mums passing without mine. You are lucky to have eachother. Your in my thoughts. Maho

I hope you get to spend the time you want with her soon and know she must really appreciate your being there. Sigh, I know how hard it is just dealing with moms becoming frail and oh so fragile when they drop weight.

I am very glad you have the support you need going through this.

Good Luck, John. I'm earnestly trying not to imagine what this is like for you, because I expect I'll be going through the same in a year or so.

It was good seeing you and Max together. Sorry you had to go so soon.
