Final Countdown

As of tonight, Mom can't enjoy anything but her bowel clean-out fluid, which for those of you who have had a colonoscopy, know isn't the tastiest beverage this world has to offer. The past week has gotten progressively more challenging secondary to what we're assuming is the continuing growth of her ovary. Mom says the only thing she can really compare it to is being pregnant! She can't button her pants, she has to eat very small frequent meals if she can tolerate even that, and is feeling very ready to get this ovary and co. out! Despite the discomfort, her spirits are in excellent shape. Mom's arrived at a place of understanding and is at peace with the plan.

I blog tonight from work- my last shift for the next two weeks! And Gwennie arrives home for 3 weeks in just a few days. Amazing how this has turned in to a positive opportunity for us all to be home together.

I'll make sure to update the blog as soon as possible on Monday. We report at 5:30am, so I am hoping to have something good to post by mid-afternoon.

As soon as we're needing resources, we'll reach out to Susan Eastman to coordinate, our Helping Hands superstar! Thanks to all of you who've reached out with endless love and support.

Every single positive thought that we have is flying your way from Mystic. Love to you and Gwennie, and big wet sloppy (but totally antiseptic) kisses to your mother. xoxoxo
