I want to keep track of what transpired over the last 6 weeks, so that I don't forget any of it.

 

April 2, 2012.. Mom goes into the hospital, the ER infact and waits until 9 pm to be admitted. Around 11pm the Doctor comes into her room and tells her, myself and my step dad she has a purforrated bowel and needed emergency surgery.

 

April 3, 2012. . Just after midnight, mum has emergency surgery. . She'd have a colstomy bag the rest of her life. Around 3:30 I go and see her in the ICU, where she stayed for three days.

 

April 5th, 2012... Doctors FINALLY tell us she has stage 4 Cervical Cancer, and that all the chemo, radiation and such was to give her a few extra months, not years. She is moved to her floor, in room 59.. then when we leave her that night she is moved to room 55, which is closer to the nurses station

 

April 7th and 8th... mom's best friend comes to town to see her. Mom is pretty much out of it

 

 

More to come.. just getting overwhelmed..

Hi Kelly. Im so sorry for your loss! I kept a journal of my husbands time from diagosis to the end but guess what? I dont need to refer to it to remember the exact dates and hours of what he and our family went through. It is burned into my brain. I have a feeling that many of us here have the same memories. I see what you have written as a tribute to your mom. It makes the world remember she WAS here. She WAS a living person. She WAS loved! Hugs if you need them,
Anna
