Forgive me for not writing as much, I just want to be with mom and talk to everyone now that they are here. It helps when I'm not alone.
For the past 2 days we had a night nurse stay with us to help us do the right things for mom. We ARE NOT letting her do everything. If we know how to do something we do it. But sometimes we don't know how to read the signs that my mom does with her face so the nurse tells us and assists us with giving mom her medications. For me Her being here helps me with my fear of giving mom too much medicine. I don't want to feel like I overdosed mom because I administer her medications. We all feel a little bit better now that the night nurse is here. We all are able to get a little more rest. We all take turns being with mom. Mom told Angie to REFRESH yesterday morning and she said it's her shift and Angie was like WTF and started laughing. But she did go take a shower..lol. So Angie stayed home to be with mom and was with mom practically all day long by her side. I am very proud of her. Last night Angie, Nin and myself were all in the room just making Nurse Linda crack up with all the stories we have. When we talk about things mom doesn't really like she would crinkle her forehead kinda like telling us "SHUT UP and STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT". Like the nurses and the hand books tell us HEARING IS THE LAST TO GO. So we are always talking stories and telling her how much we love her. Auntie Laling stayed up all night on Monday so she was able to go with uncle Tony to the hotel and get some sleep.
Uncle Tony is so funny nothing is the right way but Uncle Tony's way...lol I know he is just trying to make us laugh so we can stop worrying about mom so much because he and Auntie Laling is here.I swear we are all gaining weight. Auntie Laling just keeps making those delicious TATIYA..yuuuummmmyyy. We have food throughout the day. Geez Uncle Tony, Auntie Laling and Dad are making Buko amounts of food.


Mom's condition as of 8:20 am: she is cool to the touch and her sleep apnea lasts almost a minute now. It's scary She had a LARGE bowel movement. She is now using her oxygen 24/7. She looks so peaceful. She is snoring like nothing....lol That's mom for you though you know she's super tired because of her snoring.lol

I will try and update again today..
