My mom is still in the hospital they moved her to the Cardiac ICU on Wednesday. She is still on a ventilator - not able to breathe on her own yet. Her lungs have improved a little so they turned down the amount of supported breathing she is getting. But she was to have a chest x-ray today and when they tried to move her off the ventilator the amount of oxygen she was getting dropped too low - means she cannot be off the ventilator yet. The Drs were impressed early today with her improvement then she had this set back this afternoon.
I am worried sick, I have been spending 8-12 hours a day at the hospital by my mom's side. I pray to her and talk to her to try and encourage her strength to get better. The bad part is that she just had chemo a week ago and the chemo is still making her very weak and will continue to have that effect for another week.
I still need prayers for her to recover, I love my mom so much and she is my best friend. I want her around for longer. I have been praying my heart out for her recovery.

worried
I just posted earlier that the cancer my mom had hoped to beat has reoccurred. Here I am awake at 3:20 in the morning - I had woken up to go pee as I do every night lately. This time I had a bad thought pop into my mind and I've been awake ever since. I have to work tomorrow and know I am going to be exhausted all day. My stomach is burning with acid and my mind is working a mile a minute.
I wish I had called my Dr.s office earlier to see if I could take an anti-anxiety med, cause that is what I need right now. I am having an anxiety attack.
I hope and pray with every fiber of my being that my mom can beat this cancer for good and live a long life and go from natural causes. I am so worried.

Mom's cancer is back : (
My mom had been given the good news of being NED in May - after nearly a year and a half of continuous treatment after initial diagnosis on 2/7/07.
She just had a scan done in the beginning of July and nothing was detected.
Recently she found a lump on her own on her neck - not same side as the initial Inflammatory Breast Cancer started. She had a biopsy on Tuesday and found out on Friday it's cancer in a lymph node. My mom just told me about it today. Now she is going to have a further scan done and start treatment again and likely retire rather than go on more long term disability, which is running out.
She did not want to tell me because she worries that my stress will harm the baby. I am going to call my OB tomorrow and see if I can take my anti-depressants again, I had stopped at the urge of my hubby when we started trying to have a baby.
I could use some prayers please, I am very worried.

TTC update
Well,
I think we may have hit the right times this month, but no way of telling. All my ovulation calculators say different dates. I guess that we will find out come time for AF to come, should be around 3/10/08. We shall see.
D is starting to get more into the baby thing, I bought a Pregnancy book a few months ago, we flip through and read it almost everyday.
I still need to make a pre-conception appt. I stopped taking all medications except a Pre-natal vitamin. The stopping is starting to take its toll on my mood though, I've been on anti-depressants since my mom was diagnosed with cancer 2 months before our wedding. I can feel the stess.
I had a long talk with my mom last night. She asked if we pushed up the TTC for her. I told her not really, that we are ready, which is partially true. It really does not matter why. D does not want me telling as many people that we are TTC, because of pressure, which I understand.
