You know, i just read over my post and thought I needed to add an addendum to that. I don't think it was clear of how mom is actually doing.
-She is going home tomorrow. Not because she is doing that much better and times are good. This is a discharge home, to go home and see how long she will manage before she will require hospitilization again. Her prognosis is very poor and is not given much time. Her metastasis will not enable her to cope very long. Even tho things aren't good, its so important for mom and dad to have that time together at home. To spend time together in their last home, to say good-byes, to come to terms, to just spend quiet time together-thats important. This time at home may be very short-lived-we don't know how long mom can hang on-but hopefully the time at home will be quality time. So, we are going to take each day as a blessing, each moment together is a gift, that God has decided to give our family. Yeah, some days are going to be easier than others.
I hope that puts some clarity into the situation. Good night!

Pat,
Thanks for sharing info about your Mom. I pray for her & your whole fam many times a day.
It is good to be positive about the quality time to say "goodbye". and you are right - that is a gift. We had that with Mom & I am so thankful I left nothing "unsaid", no regrets. They are so lucky to have you there - to love & care for them with the medical benefits. Be strong! Your boys are watching too! Connie
Thanks for the encouragement, Connie!
