Happy Valentine's Day

This morning has been Hectic for me. Asiah was tossing and turning all night because her leg muscles were hurting and of course i had to massage them. I'm a light sleeper so i feel when someone moves next to me. Also I couldn't fall asleep as quick because mom was snoring up a storm. Lol I miss hearing her snore that loud. Had trouble getting Asiah up to go to school, she was supper tired from tossing and turning but i got her up eventually and put her in the shower. Left Asiah to finish washing the shampoo out of her hair and went to check mom. She wasn't in her bed and she was already on the toilet. Scared me a bit to go in there and not see her on the bed. I checked to see if she was ok in the restroom and she was. She finished and I helped her back to her bed, gave her the morning medicines and some water then went to get Asiah out of the shower and dress her. Noe came in and told me Mom just threw up all over she missed the bucket. I ran inside and there was throw up all over the carpet. Mom looked at me sadly and said "I'm sorry" I told her "It's ok don't be sorry you cleaned up my throw up when i was sick so i have no problem cleaning yours" she said "thanks". I helped mom get in the shower and clean her up. When I was drying her up I noticed she had a pretty bad sore on her bum, Anne her admitting nurse said just put some rash ointment on it, so I did and proceeded to put Lotion all over her body. I helped mom walk to the other bed where she is right now just relaxing. I massaged her stomach. I think the chocolate is freaking her stomach out so I'm gonna try and hold off giving her things with chocolate.

P.S I'll keep you updated through the day, I needed to get this off my mind and into this blog before I forget.

Happy Valentine's Everyone Mom said she loves ya'll

2:30pm Nurse came today while I was talking to Nin and making bows. Mom has been having a great day she drank boost for lunch at noon. And she had a mid day tuna sandwich. The nurse said if she's not arguing with us than it's like they are giving up. So good thing mom is arguing with every breath that she has. If she's wrong you better prove it or she'll get ya..lol She threw up a bit agian after the nurse left. It might be the chocolate boost. She said it made her feel weird so I need to go and get her some things when Angie gets off.

Till tomorrow

10:22 Am took out more trash. Mom and I went through her clothes and she told me which ones she wanted and throw out the ones she didn't. She had a bowl of Coco Krispies and finished it. Now she's eating sunflower seed watching the food network. I think THROW DOWN WITH BOBBY FLAY is on. So i'm going to give her a bath later. Now i'm going to clean up a bit. talk to you soon.

Mom woke up this morning at 3:30 am she needed the bathroom. I helped her to the restroom and I waited till she was finished to help her back to the bed.She fell back to sleep. 6:27 am I heard mom ask JR to get her water. He did then left the room (I was up but I wasn't up up). She drank some water and at 6:30m she threw up mainly liquid. I heard her doing this from the bed next to her. She called me to empty the PINK container she uses. I did. Then she asked me to give her some Atenelol(blood pressure Med) because he feels her blood pressure was high because of her shooting pain in her leg. I did. Then I told her I won't give her that same medicine @ 7:30 AM because she took it already, she told me Jr gave her the Pink pill (Morphine), I called him and he said he only gave her water. Mom was a bit argumentative because she swore she took her Pink pill already. I told her I am the only one who gives her her Meds. She asked to see the medicine case I showed it to her. I explained the yellow part is for the morning and the dark blue side is for the night. I showed her the days she already took her Meds and she told me to take the morphine out because "she took it". I told her "It seems like you are taking lots of pills because you are sleeping a lot, and when you wake up you have to take medicine." She stared at me with that mean face of hers (you guys know what that looks like when she doesn't get her way...lol) I told her "we are just giving you your meds on schedule. And at first it's going to seem like a lot because she's not used to taking medicine routinely."I reassured her we are not giving her more than what the Dr. Subscribed. She accepted that and I Took he blood pressure it was 140 /88 (not bad). I put her back to sleep @ 6:45am

I think I am going to start video taping every time I go inside her room to give her her meds so she won't feel like I'm giving her too many pills.

Today was a great day. Dad was sent to the P.I to get a few things for mom. Dad and mom kissed each other and Angie took dad to the airport. Mom got out of the house to join me to take Asiah to school. She wanted to go to Walmart too so I packed her walker and her wheelchair in the car. Mom went shopping for a couple of things she's been wanting so she got cereal (COCO KRISPIES,Tuna, Pickles, cute ol' socks and some pajama pants. She meet a friend in the check out line and they exchanged greetings. I told mom " see everyone notices when you not out and about". She smiled. As we where finishing checking out mom told me to take $100 out be cause "we are going to Mrs.T's. I was laughing and then I did what she asked. At least she wanted to get out today. I've learned that you have to let her WANT to do things NOT force her. I was happy that she wanted to go. I would take her any where because it made me feel better that she was not in bed just laying there. When we finished up our outing from Walmart and Mrs.T's mom's leg started to hurt her more and more so when we got home I gave her some of her liquid morphine. At 1.59 Mom asked for a tuna sandwich and a pickle. I brought her half a tuna sandwich(doesn't finish her food if you give her alot) a pickle and some salt and vinegar chips. LOW AND BEHOLD SHE FINISHED IT. I told her GREAT JOB MOM I gave her a High five and took her plate. She laughed a little. I told her it made me feel good to see her finish everything.She smiled.

DAD,
Don't worry MOM is in very good hands. She says she loves you. And she also said you "made a PASS at her when you first met". Smile Dad we are all in this together to help eachother get through rough times. That's what FAMILY is for. WE LOVE YOU AND MOM LOVES YOU
