the latest on mom...

In order to control her pain they kept trying different pain medications... well she apparently had a reaction or sensitivity to one and became unconscious and unresponsive. So we took her off everything to see if she got any better. We took her on Monday for an epidural which went very smoothly. she was not in any pain for the first time in literally months. Her body totally relaxed and her vital signs dropped and we thought she was joining Heavenly Father. She remained unresponsive for a couple of days. On Wednesday she started waking up and her vital signs got a little better. today she is awake and responding but very groggy and in pain. We don't know why she is in so much pain because all we did and are giving her should be working. She tells me that she is just too tired and this may be a battle she can't win. She is very weak and just wants to go "home" to heavenly father. So we are making her as comfortable as possible. she is currently out of "danger" but they tell me that she will have "ups" and "downs" that she is currently in a "up" stage. We don't know what will happen next nor do we know "when" it will happen. she wants me to tell you all the she loves you and is grateful for everyone in a part of her life. I want to thank you all for the cards, letters and phone calls it really made mom happy! Well I will try and let you all know any further...for now it is just hanging in there.
