Absolutely. Best wishes and prayers to your mom, Corey.

Yes, warm thoughts and well wishes to you both!

Mom is home although along with the blood clot in her leg, she has another clot in one of her lungs. Doctor trusts her enough to be at home and if something isn't right that she'll be back to the ER. Along with all of the other medications she is on, she now has a blood thinner that she has to take twice a day for thirty days via injection and then it goes down to once a day. I appreciate all the support from everyone, really means alot to me

Scary times for you and your mom, Corey, I'm sure. Obviously you're taking great care of her so, keep the faith and keep moving forward. Love and hugs to you both.

She is so lucky to have such a wonderful son to take care of her.

I've had a few scares the last few months with my Mom as well. Nothing is the same as what you are going through. You are lucky to live close to your Mom, I'm sure she is very thankful for everything you can do for her. :theman:

Just a quick update, the doctors have decided to change her chemo medicine because the one she has been taking was causing her red & white blood cell counts to drop. So she's now waiting for them to get her new chemo pill prescribed. She's doing better and moving around more now so hopefully things are moving in the right direction

Glad to hear a bit of god news, Corey.

Another update. Mom now has a broken right humerus and needs a rod inserted into it to stabilize the bone. Not sure when that surgery will take place but I'll keep everyone updated

WalterB · September 27th, 2016, 6:02 pm

Dang. It never stops. I'm sure your mother is doing her best, Corey. Keep the faith.

Great news Corey! :yeahbaby:

Great news, Corey. Tell your mom there's this OldFart you know who is sending her hugs and best wishes.

Why do they always send you home in the middle of the freakin' night? They cut you open, stir everything up, then make you get up and go the hell home. When I had my MC wreck (one of them, lol,) the Dr wanted to send me home right away (broken collar bone, but no apparent internal injuries.) But, because I had no one at home to help care for me, the nurse fought to keep me in overnight (and she won, lol.)

Baby her Corey! Take good care of her!

Davest · October 10th, 2016, 7:21 pm

Great to hear, Corey! Hope she recovers well.

CoreyD06 · October 21st, 2016, 4:23 am

Update and it's not good news. Mom has two spots in her skull, one behind her nose and near her right ear. The right side of her face has started to droop, and my brother & I thought she may have had a mini-stroke but dad said no, he asked about it. She starts radiation for that today and continues radiation on her arm as well. However, I talked to my brother after I got home tonight and he had talked to dad on his way home from bowling. Dad told him that the doctor said that the cancer has spread into her kidneys and bladder but she hasn't been told yet. As soon as I have any more information, I'll let everyone know

WalterB · October 21st, 2016, 6:28 am

Very sorry to hear, Corey. Keep the faith, my friend.

October 21st, 2016, 10:20 pm

I'm so sorry Corey, life is just not fair. My heart goes out to you and your Mom and your whole family.
