It's been a long two weeks and it doesn't seem like it's ever going to end. I keep trying to look positive that things are going to get better. It started last week with my son getting sick with a temperature on Tuesday then my mother started getting a bad cough on Wednesday. My son's temp broke Wednesday night but he was very tired and cranky. My mother's cough kept getting worse. On Saturday I took my son to the doc's and found out he had two ear infections. An hour after I gave him the medicine he threw up only once. On Sunday my mother had gotten worse and was having trouble breathing after coughing so much and the emergency inhaler wasn't working, so I took her to the hospital. They gave her a couple of treatments and she was actually looking and sounding better, I dropped her and my son off at home and went to pick my sister up at work (7 pm), I had to pick some food up at the store because we hadn't had time to all weekend. Monday my mother's stomach was bothering her and her cough was back. My father works nights so he slept most of the morning so when he did get up her doc's office could fit her in that day. I was extremely angry because my sister didn't bother to try to make an appointment, she was watching my son though so I can't be to mad at her. I just wish someone had called me at work, I had assumed that things were being taken care of.
When they took x-ray's of her lungs on Tuesday they found a shadow on her right lung. She quit smoking 8 years ago but the damage had already been done because she has emphazema (i'm not sure on the spelling right now). Today she is going to get a CAT scan, I'm so scared. I usually talk to her about things but I can right now.

My son and I live with my parents and sister. So my son is very close them. She watches him while I work and go to school. I just don't know what I would do if anything happened.

Oh yeah I have a paper due in both my classes next week. I also have to do a presentation in one of the classes, I hate talking in front of people.

I'm sorry for rambling but I usually talk with my mother, I know she's worried and I don't want to put any more pressure on her.

:eek


TAKE A DEEP BREATH!!!!!

Don't worry about what your sister did not do, there was no delay and it did not affect your mother's treatment.

Emphasima is very treatable so that will be taken care of.

Channel your fear into getting those papers done, and don't worry about the presentation. Just remember, you have been talking to these people for the entire semester, just pretend you are telling them a story at break and you will be just fine.

Everything will be fine with everyone! LOL! My prayers are with you.....

Thank you. My mother is at her appointment right now the only thing is I don't know how long it will take to get the results. I'm trying to take deep breathe's.

Sending prayers and good thoughts your way.
