 Mom called me a little after midnight bawling.  She hasn’t stopped throwing up even though she hasn’t eatten.  Her doctor ordered her to be nasogastric intubated.  She was scared and not happy.  At first she wasn’t going to let the nurses do it, but I got her to calm down and accept it.  Then I flipped Dad’s ass out of bed and sent him to the hospital.

Its a very not nice process of shoving a tube up through the nose and down the back of the throat towards the stomach.  Her throat sore and she is completely horse.  The tube makes her dry heave constantly because it activates her gag reflex. 

I thought she was getting the tube to be feed by, but its draining her stomach contents continuously. 

Mom has a colonoscopy at 8:30.  The GI thinks there is an absess somewhere in the bowels.

Brandy is at the hospital with Mom now.  Her veins can’t handle the IV’s so they are about to put in a PICC line.

There seems to finally be something being done for Mom.  I’m happy about that.  I want it figured out now though.  I don’t like the wait and see shit.  I want her fixed already.

Ovarian cancer: It whispers, so listen.
