As many of you know, my mom went to the hospital on Monday night with diabetic shock (her blood sugar was 34) and dehydration. After sitting in the ER for 8 1/2 hours, she was admitted for 2 days. John and Daniel brought her home on Wednesday afternoon. She continues to complain of a low appetite and difficulty eating and drinking. While the radiation has contributed to these complaints and the surgery contributed to low saliva output, it is ultimately my mom's choice whether she is going to eat and drink.
Thanks to those of you who have taken food to her and my dad. He needs to bring up his weight as well. While I have provided meals, Boost, Ensure, and Vitamin Water, it is ultimately up to my mom to fight this battle by choosing to eat.
Please pray for the constant pain in her shoulder and the continuing confusion. It is difficult for her and my dad. Also pray for my kids who are sad and don't always know how to put into words how they feel.
Thanks for caring.
Love, Anita
p.s.: please don't ever pray for stamina again :) sitting in an ER for 8 1/2 hours was enough for me
