Mom has two good days. She has been able to walk a bit further each day with the help of the good ol' walker, the physical therapist and Dad. We tell her before she knows it her and Grammy Pumpkin (Lumpkins) will be racing. She is trying to eat, a couple spoonfuls of something everyday. She also is getting better with sipping on an Ensure throughout the day. Thankfully the meat and potatoes bag (feeding through an IV) is providing the calories she needs. Mom said "You know it is so frustrating because everybody says you are doing so good today, if that is true why do I feel worse everyday?" How I know that feeling.
Many have asked about Mom being treated with anxiety medication...yes she is being treated and it does help but doesn't take the anxiety away. Again this is a very common symptom among cancer patients and it is real. The anxiety med knocks her out, it is a fine line finding the right dosage so that she able to do therapy.
We are extremely grateful for the good moments Mom is given.
