Tonight I got home from North Carolina with my aunt Leslie and cousin Samantha. They will be staying with us for a little while to help take care of Mom. Today Mom had an appointment to have blood work to check her platelets/white blood cells. The numbers were headed in the right direction, however, they discovered that not only are there areas of disease in her spine and liver (as we already knew), but there are also areas of disease in her lower back and hip. This explains why Mom has been suffering with pain in her lower back and hip. When I got home today I couldn't wait to see my mom. She was lying on the couch, half asleep as she was exhausted from the trying day she had in Boston. I just couldn't help but hug her. I missed her, my dad, my brother Michael and my sister Lauren so much. It was so hard being away from Mom and not being home helping her out every day. It was hard to miss out on all the trips into the hospital. I wanted to be there for her, and being so far away was really starting to make me sad. The closer I got to home, the more anxious I became. She was obviously out of it when I came in the house, I definitely took her by surprise too. But most of all she was just so tired. Mom has her good days and she has her bad days. I could tell she missed me by how much she was hugging me when I was sitting with her. It was definitely emotional for me, but I didn't want her to know that!
That's all for now! We got somethings planned for Mom, so I'll definitely be updating soon!
