This roller coaster is too crazy to continue.
Sunday afternoon/evening my mom got a serious headache and began vomiting continually. She was forgetting names, words, and meanings.
My dad assumed the headache and nausea were the result of a terrible migraine. She was disoriented and confused.
Around 1:45 am my dad felt a jerk next to him in the bed. He turned on the light, my mom was having a seizure and her eyes were rolled back in her head. She was coughing out blood before she stopped breathing altogether. My dad screamed for help and I dialed 911. My dad performed CPR until the paramedics arrived. My mom was rushed to the hospital.
She was kept under with a breathing tube for a very long time. It wasn't until early this morning (Tuesday) That we even found out what was wrong.
There are multiple little tumors in my mom's brain. The only way to treat them is with extensive radiation. She's still very confused and disoriented, hugging doctors because she thinks they're related to her. She is not in high spirits, and to be perfectly honest I think the time for her to go home to heaven is a lot closer than some of us would like to admit. She doesn't want to die, and my dad thinks he has absolute control over everything, completely leaving God out of the equation.
Life sucks. There's not much else to say. My prayer is simple. I don't want to lose my mom, but if she is suffering... I want it to be over. I want for the Lord to just take her home.
You know my prayer. Choose your own, but please do pray.

Oh Darlin', I completely understand how you are feeling. Momma was the same way. Her amonia level got so high they had to give her lactalose to help rid the body of it. It affects the brain. She talked out of her head, argued with you over misinformation. So, I just quit trying to correct her errors and let her think she was right. I wanted it to be over because I couldn't take it. Now I feel guilty for wanting it over and wanting to run and hide some days. I can understand your pain and sorrow. Yes, I will pray! Love You Cenotez
