I think my mother is dying.

[Jermys]

She's still in the hippy dippy place in St. Louis, so no drugs or anything that will actually work. She has to take a breath after each word, and she sounds like her lungs are filling up, which doesn't surprise me, because she has undiagnosed edema which is a sign of congestive heart failure. She has been in bed for three days after falling on Tuesday.

I'm driving to St. Louis on Saturday with the kids so we can see her for what is probably the last time and then coming home Sunday. H is staying home with Lucy so he can give her all of her eye meds. I don't want her ulcer to rupture on top of all of this.

Thinking of you. If I remember right this is a complicated relationship. I'm sure she'll love to see your kids

I am so sorry I wish you strength and peace. Hugs

No and no. She's pretty much given up.

I'm sorry. Even with the relationship you two have I imagine this is still hard.

[silva]

I can't imagine, especially with the relationship you have with her. Stay strong. You are in my thoughts.

I am so sorry. Losing a parent is always hard, but when the relationship has been strained or difficult it adds a whole extra element to things. I was in a similar situation when I lost my dad two years ago. If you want to talk feel free to message me.

[hubes]

I'm sorry. What a difficult trip.

[emsumm]

Oh God, Jermy's, I'm so, so sorry:( Please have a safe trip <3 You know I will do anything you need for you while you are gone...just ask.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I lost my mom years ago to cancer. We had a less than stellar relationship, so I know what it's like to deal with all the crazy emotions. I know I'm not a regular poster and this could be construed as creepy, but feel free to PM me if you need to vent.
