Many Thanks and Questions

We gave mom the quilt today. Lots of tears were shed. Her plethora of brothers and sisters and their sons and daughters along with their children visited off and on today. Mom's spirits were uplifted. The quilt was finished in perfect timing. Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way: fabric, money, stories, and prayers. I thank you for all of them. She thanks you for all of them.

Her swelling is going down. She is still sore from the surgery and she has no appetite. I am calling Dr. Dy to tell him all that has happened since we last spoke. She is hoping for steroids so she can eat. Right now, nothing sounds good. If she attempts to eat, she gets sick. And she is hungry. The lack of sustenance is making her weak. She is down to a size 6 pant, and she says she could probably wear a size 4. That's my size. We've never been the same size. My mom was always well-built. Full of muscle. Strength. It's all gone now.

I am hoping that now that the Superior Vena Cava has been stinted, she can continue on her chemo, in hopes to control the tumor growth. Hopefully Dr. Dy has answers tomorrow. So many questions.
