My Mama-part 2

After spending 20 days in the hospital my Mom got to come home a week after Thanksgiving. She still has to be on oxygen at night but other than that she is doing great. She is finally getting her energy back and is getting back to her old self again. YAY!

My Mama

On Halloween we found out that my Mother has esophageal cancer. She had surgery 11/8/07 to have her esophagus removed and they replaced it with her stomach. My Mom came into the hospital weighing 216 pounds, today they weighed her and she is down to 180 lbs. She is still currently in ICU because she keeps going into respiratory distress. I feel so bad for her because I seriously doubt she will be home for Thanksgiving and that is a big thing @ our house. I tried to explain to her that we will just celebrate it up here at the hospital and everything will be fine. I will do my best to make it a special day for her. I really hope she pulls thru this, I cannot imagine my life w/o my Mother. She has become my best friend I guess now would be the time to tell her that but I just don't want to be all sappy. I will update later
