Sister *Edit

My sister-in-law said my sister wasn’t speaking for anyone but herself…but I don’t know if that means any help for me…that wasn’t made clear. *EDIT…I haven’t heard anything back since she emailed me so I am not sure what is up with any of them…so maybe I spoke too soon when I said they aren’t deserting me too.

Mom had a good day yesterday but is having a bad day today…she went down to four all day yesterday and her oxygen was steady at around 94 today she is on five and on a mask and is in the low 90’s…its a back and forth thing.

I’m still going to NYC next week as long as mom lives…the doctor is keeping her in the hospital since my sister refuses to come stay with her here with hospice. The doctor and social worker there are being very helpful.

It would be nice to see mom back on three and in the 90’s with oxygen level…they said it could happen…she moved from ICU to step down..I think some of the activities affected her…when she is settled things calm down it…plus the morphine also makes her oxygen level decrease.

She said she wanted to sleep so I am home now..she said she sleeps better when I am not there…so I am going back to have lunch with her and again at dinner..I never know when to be there since she changes her mind so often…there I times I just leave and she will call me back…so I just let her tell me when day to day.

Thanks for all the supportive posts…they are needed and very much appreciated.

I am so sorry your family is giving you so much problems during this hard time for you. You are a good daughter and your mother knows this!!!!

I’m really sorry you have to endure all of this sweetie. This is sooo not fair! I do hope that your SIL means this and doesn’t just try to cause more pain in the long run. If she means it, bless her heart.

I know this is a rough time, Ruthie, but hang in there. I hope your brother is more supportive and that your sister was, indeed, speaking for herself.

I hope that you will still get some support from a sibling or two….and I hope that Mom improves. Please remember that you are only one person – and that person is only human. Be kind to yourself as well as to mom.

Sorry things are not going right for you, and life continues to be unfair. I know what you mean. At times, I start to think that karma is affecting me: I must have been evil in my previous life. I wrote an OD entry about it too. I hope your mother gets better and you can keep the home and animals.
