I lost my job on January 12, 2017. Then on Feb 15, 2017 my Momma found out she had Mesothiloma. She went in to have a biopsy on Feb 22nd and what was supposed to be an overnight stay became an 18 day stay in the hospital. Momma threw up while she had a C pap mask on and aspirated it and got bacterial pneumonia and it was also in her blood stream. She was them moved to ICU and intubated. She was in ICU about 10 days. When she got out of ICU and was stable she was moved to Rocky Mountain Care Facility and was there for 2 weeks. She was able come home 33 days later.
During that month we found out Momma's meso was malignant and incurable. Momma's home now and getting stronger. She wasn't going to do chemo, however after meeting with an oncologist Dr Chalmers she has decided to try it. Her first cycle will be on Thursday April 5th. Momma only did the one chemo treatment as it made her very sick. She then tried a trial drug Keytruda. That made her sick as well. She is now not doing any treatments and is on hospice. Her joints are painful, she can't even open a bottle of water now. Momma has a great attitude. She is not afraid of dying. I know she won't go until she believes Daddy is going to be able to handle her death. He's having an extremely difficult time as it's to be expected. I go over almost daily to sit and talk with Momma or go with Daddy to check out mortuaries and just run errands to keep him company. I love my parents so very very much! They are wonderful examples of how to love the Gospel.
