Treebywater Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I'm finally here with Mom, and I'm so glad. It's been an exhausting week leaving my husband back home as he got ready for a month or so away from home as well, and getting here with Carolyn and settling in... Mom is really having a hard time. And she's very discouraged. She is just hoping to find some good days, and instead they just seem to get worse for her. She does LOVE having her grandbaby nearby. She sees the doctor again Monday and should get round 2 of Alimta then too. Mom is having a hard time too because she's not strong enough to hold Carolyn and she wants too. I offer her for sleepy snuggle time, and even that is hard but doable sometimes... But it cheers her some to just have her nearby. Even with that, she is so discouraged that I just ache for her. We need some good news, and a few good days wouldn't hurt either. Anyway, keep us in your prayers if you would. It's hard here... and I don't know yet if it is just normal hard.

Patkid Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Oh, Val and Carolyn and Val's mom, it is wonderful that you are together. Just immerse yourself in that closeness. We will pray for good news and good days. Being a grandma is so wonderful it is impossible to describe.........especially on Mother's Day. I am so sorry for your sadness and worry, but know you will be able to find a blessing in being together. Lots of love Pat and Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Oh, Val, I'm so sorry your mom is having such a hard time. I pray that she will start having some good days very soon. I am thrilled that she can at least cuddle a little bit with that precious beautiful daughter of yours. I was able to get a precious visual picture of that happening and it really warmed my heart. I can just see your mom smiling. How sweet! Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Val, Do you happen to have a Boppy? Maybe that could help your mom hold her little granddaughter? I saw one out of the package at a recent baby shower, they're used to help Mom with breast feeding, holding the baby up during floor time, etc. I'm wondering if one could be used in conjunction with an easy chair or couch arm to help someone with less arm strength to snuggle a new little miracle... I'm sure that you and the new one being there is a recharge for your mom's spirit. What a good time for an infusion of that kinda love! Here's to better days!

shineladysue Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Val, I'm sure it means a lot to your mom to see Carolyn. Sure hope the doctor can give her a good idea of why she is feeling like she is. She does sound like she is having a rough time of it now. I will be keeping all of you in my prayers. Love, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryanne Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hi Val, You gave your mom the best mothers day gift. To be with her daughter and grandaughter. I am so sorry that she still is not feeling well and doesn't seem to be getting stronger. I pray for healing and strength for her. Please enjoy your stay with her, as she will have so many nice memories to think about when you go home. I know for her just seeing her grandaughter has helped her mentally. Hang in there. Prayers going out to your mom. Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
