Mom update

Sunday, I went back up to the parent's for dinner. My poor Mommy. She was throwing up so much over the weekend that she got very dehydrated and started passing out. Dad found her on the floor of the bathroom at one point and decided something else had to be done.

They called the Dr and got a prescription for a home IV. The nurse that comes every week to check on her taught Dad how to hook her up so now she gets an IV at home to keep her fluids up. She's lost so much weight that you can feel every single vertebrae and rib, heck, you can see them all just by looking at her. Her lips are all cracked and sore and she's starting to look old. It's so strange to see the contrast between my parents now: Dad is healthy, walking around, taking care of the house and kids and everything and Mom, well, she's pretty much stationary. It's so strange how stationary she is because my whole life she's always been running around taking care of things, playing with kids, being active and busy.

I'd be lying if I didn't say seeing her like this is most difficult thing to want, ever. At some point, I wasn't quite as worried about her as I'd been, but I'm getting worried. Hopefully, the IV thing everyday will help her not pass out and will give her some nutrition.
