the tube is out, the morphine is in
Monday, June 1st, 2009They ran a new CT scan this morning.
There was no change in the blood mass.
We took her breathing tube out this evening.
She tried to say she loved me, over and over again, until the morphine kicked in.
Then I left, and now I’m at Daydee’s, and Llamaface has showed up and is eating dinner.
Mom’s older brother, Uncle Awesome, has said he’s not leaving her room until the end.
We have an air mattress & a cot being brought to Mom’s house so we can get out of Talana’s hair.
Llamaface has the next two days off and the next two days will be spent making hard decisions re: how we proceed from here in terms of taking care of Nana. Little Brother has said he’s willing to move down & whatever, but he has school to focus on. His girlfriend keeps annoying me by saying “we” and I’m like BITCH STEP OFF.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP:
Financially, you can send money to my paypal account. Jenniferg1028[at]yahoo[dot]com.
Donations can be made to Planned Parenthood, your local food bank, your local women’s shelter, or your local organization that helps homeless & runaway youth. All those things are near & dear to Mom’s heart.
Food deliveries can be made to The Axe & Fiddle on Main Street in Cottage Grove, or to Talana’s house (contact her for information about that).
We have an air mattress & a cot to sleep on at Mom’s house, while Little Brother & his girlfriend sleep on the futon, but real mattresses (at least one queen) would be great so we have a more permanent situation.
