hollyanne Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Late last evening my mom starting complaining about pins/needles feeling in her left arm and leg - which then led to muscle weakness and lack of control in the leg. This morning she is unable to get up -- I am terrified. We have calls into the onc. I am supposed to be induced to have a baby tomorrow and just can't stand everything that is going on. Does anyone have any ideas? Please pray for us. Thanks, Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie221 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Holly! Why or why does all this major stuff have to happen right at the same time?! Don't panic. Get mom's problems under control - hopefully easier than we might worry. Then your doctor can reschedule or induce or whatever you feel is best. BREATHE! You'll get through this. EXHALE! I hope I didn't make you feel I don't realise how terrified you are right now, Holly. I am so sorry this has happened. I just know that in moments of shock and terror things seems so much worse than they may be in the end. Let's hope that's the way this will all turn out.

ginnyde Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Holly, I am so sorry. This is definitely overload. Try to take it one minute at a time. Hopefully, the onc. has called back now and you have a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 If he hasn't called back I would have her transported to the ER--call an ambulance if you need to. This way she will be in good hands and you can go on with your induction tomorrow (congratulations by the way!!). Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icbn Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Holly this is late in the day so I'm sure it has been resolved. If not, do not wait for the Onc. Go to the ER. It could be the tingling one gets from Chemo plus anemic fatigue. It could be a stroke. Go to the ER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darci Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Holly, I think I am jumping in a bit late here, but I am hoping that everything goes well for you, your baby and your sweet mom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
