OK guys, I really need some moral support here. . .
I posted a while ago about my mom's cancer, and it appears now it may be gaining a foothold on her. She is now on permanent disability from work as of last Thurs, has lost 40 lbs in just over 6 months and is having difficulty breathing while walking around the house. One of the other nurses had Hospice come out and talk to Mom yesterday, "just to tell her what's available to her". I HATE that word hospice, and I can't stand to think that things have gotten that bad. I guess I'm still in denial, thinking "She's not THAT sick, really."
I thought she was doing so well while I was home for Spring Break, but I've talked to some of her co-workers and they say that was the best she's looked in months. Now I'm seriously contemplating withdrawing for the semester so I can move NOW instead of waiting until after finals. I can't concentrate on my classes now anyway - I've been avoiding them and trying not to think about mom, without success.
Any prayers you could spare for her, and good vibes for me, would be appreciated. I don't dare ask Mom because she wouldn't want me to give up on school, but I am beginning to think it's the only right thing to do! What do y'all think??
