So....it is 3:26a.m. I am at my mom's house. I can hear my dad snoring in the back room.....mom is asleep too. I am scared to fall asleep because she likes to get sassy and pull out her oxygen tube. The other night she told my dad that if he didn't like staying in the house all day "tough shit." She is so awesome.....I'm telling you she has not lost her sense of humor. She was listening to him talk the other day and rolled her eyes at me....too funny. She was scheduled for a lung tap last Friday, Oct.3rd. She decided she did not want to go......she said she was too tired. (Remember how much fluid they were getting off every three days....well today makes 7 days so it isn't pretty.) HOSPICE has been in today to give her a bath and get her all freshened up. I walked in tonight and she was all pretty in pink sittin in the chair.....she said it's about damn time someone pampered her! She is soooo right....it is long overdue. Hospice has been great, they come in for family and medical support. They are right on top of getting all the meds mom needs to feel better. I told my dad today that mom was so unselfish all these years and was there whenever we needed her and now it is our turn, hence the title of this blog. There are some stargazer lilies in here too that someone brought over....they smell so good and they are my absolute all time favorite. I would take a pic, but its dark.
Ok, this is random but it's my blog so I wanna write it. I wanted to thank Em for the other nite. (My friend Em, no I haven't lost my marbles yet.) She drove clear down from Reno to have dinner with me because "it sounded like I needed my bestie." This whole experience has really "humbled" me.....wink wink to Em! We had a great talk and went to Chinese food. This was after we got my mom the Chinese food that she was craving.....it was funny, she ate the whole plate.
(Get the lady what she wants for goodness sake!)
Anyway, it was (and continues to be) a weird day.
And did I mention I miss my Kristopher....he has been soooo busy with work.
I love him to pieces.......guess I'm back to mom duty.
She's gettin me back for all the nights I kept her up. :)

Wink Wink! Your my bestie. I would do anything for you and your family in a heartbeat. Your mom is the most giving person I have had the pleasure of knowing. I am glad she can still put your dad in check! Your a saint for taking care of her the way you do, hopefully you know how awesome that is. As a mother, I can only hope my kids love me like you love her. I love you!
You guys are totally in our prayers! I am just heartbroken this is happening to YOUR mom! I love your mom, even though its been years since I've seen her. Remember when we use to call eachother's moms "mom"? Crazy, if there is anything I can do, seriously call me! Hang in there!
