9-13-10 Update,
Mom is home with Hospice now. Has a hospital bed in living room. Has to have someone with her 24/7. Is on oral Moraphine for walking to the bathroom and back to bed maybe 10-15 feet in total gets her totally out of breath. At least she is able to keep food down now due to meds taken 30 min before she eats anything which is a very good thing. The Hospice Dr. comes tomorrow to give his opinion on things, what other care he can give us, to check on her and possibly get an estimate on how long she has left. Between work and Mom, all my time is taken up and everyone is totally exhausted

Awwwww really sorry to hear this Dimpletoes. So your mom now has Hospice coming that has super rough. Yeah I know what you are saying-sadly David's grandpa when he was doing really rough-in his last days-towards the end-Hospice person come in and stay-help pretty much around the clock, his grandma and him along w the Hospice person had taken care of his grandpa, also David's mom-help from Hospice towards the end when towards the end -COPD it was really rough-sadly both his grandpa and mom died. His grandpa sadly passed away-May 17 07 and his mom June 10 09, sorry not mentioning this to steal or run away w your thread-not hijacking it, just saying I know what you mean-when you say even w Hospice help-really rough not sure how long she has left. Just wanted to let you know I knew what you meant that is all.
I am really sorry this happened to your mother. I do hope your mom does get better and things look up but if not-I wish for the best last days-filled w lots of love, comfort, support, and laughter-all good things, not sadness. I wish her great peace. I imagine you are exhausted not just emotionally but also physically-mentally-it really can take a huge toll on a person-that is being a caregiver-a lot bigger toll than many people can even imagine. May God be w your mom, your family and also with you-give you strength and peace of mind and heart-comfort during this intense chaotic emotional time in your life.
Try to be strong and keep the faith, it is tough I won't lie but try to keep the faith Dimpletoes. Good luck and best wishes-may your time with her be happy and peaceful and positive, may you all make great memories, try your best to try to cherish now the time you have w her.
I am very sorry to hear that your mother is dying, that is very sad and a tragedy. May your troublesome family siblings and family members straighten up and help you during this rough time in your life-may the past stay in the past-fences be mended-just surround yourself w friends-try your best even though it can be rough and it very much is-try to keep your eyes on God and let God help heal your heart.
