Precious Moments

We just wanted to put a quick update to let you know of Mom's status. She was admitted to the hospital yesterday morning when she came in for her regular appt. The past week she has continued to feel rotten and has felt worse each day. They put her on IV antibiotics thinking that it was more pneumonia. The lung Dr. came in today and confirmed that it is not pneumonia but that the cancer has spread to both lungs. Her left lung really isn't functioning at all and her right lung is full of inflammation from the cancer as well. He said that there really isn't anything else to do and they are sending her home tonight with hospice. They started giving her morphine which has helped with her comfort and they will continue to make her as comfortable as they can. Mom is still coherent and enjoying time with family. It is hard for her to talk very much because of the oxygen mask and she gets winded very easily. We appreciate so much all of the love and support that we feel and know that the Lord will continue to help us all through this difficult time. All of her children will be here by tonight and we will spend however long He gives us with her. The Dr. said it could be anywhere from hours to days. We are very sad to say good-bye but are ready for her to be at peace and be done suffering. It's been a very emotional day. We will try to keep you updated.
