Another update on my mom 1/15

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
She rallied somewhat on Saturday and was a little perky. She was talking more and awake more and able to walk around without any help. Saturday night, she was out of it again, but it turns out she had my sister give her 2 xanax and 2 percocet. It's a wonder she didn't overdose.
Sunday morning, she was out of it, and couldn't get out of bed. She would try and then just fall back and moan. Later on, she perked up again.
Today, she has been asleep and out of it the whole day except for when the home hospice nurse came by. At one point this afternoon she was sleeping and her eyes opened partially and her breathing became more labored. I can't explain it well because I am in a hurry and so tired, but it was scary. A while after that, she sort of woke up and tried to talk, but we couldn't understand much of what she was saying. She looks terrible and her movements are very odd, like a drunk person in slow motion almost, like she is grabbing for things that aren't there. I don't think it will be long. I want to cry, but can't. The tears won't come. I had a good cry Saturday on the way to the airport to pick up my sister.
My sister is a mess. She is crying, bawling actually, or fighting back tears almost all the time. I have never seen her like this. I think the stress of the situation in addition to the gravity of it all is getting to her.
I am just so tired and scared. Kyle is taking off work tomorrow, and I am staying at my mom's tonight. I came home for a bit to get things together for Emily for tomorrow's school day, and also to get me some clothes, etc.
I'll check back in when I can.

We are trying to keep her home as long as possible on home hospice, but I am not sure what we will do if she doesn't rally again. We are just taking it one day at a time.

to you and your sister. It's probably just hitting her while you've been through this all along.
