watching my mother try to sleep, tubes everywhere. Tonight I volunteered to watch her as my nephews / sister are at X mas eve mass lighting the candles and giving my father a chance to go home and take care of his dogs and get a good night sleep. My mom was diagnosed with colon cancer Nov 8.. she ignored all the symptoms for months. was told they caught it in time but this past week and 2 surgeries for an abscess and ileostomy later.. oh yeah and a chest tube yesterday for a collapsed lung.. We have an oncologist telling us we are still on track and will do immunotherapy cause she cant do chemo in this condition. we have a surgeon telling us to plan for the worse and that the oncologist is feeding us false hope. mom and i have had some goood talks reminiscing, remembering the good times. My heart wants to believe the oncologist but my nursing experience tells me the surgeons are most likely right. Was almost out the door to Green Bay when i got the news about the chest tube and ICU. did get someone to give me half for tickets last second even though i posted for free. As sad as i am im thankful we have been so close over my life time. Merry Christmas
