Hey yall, I feel I owe it to everyone of you who loves mom and me to let you know what is happening. You have been with me through prayer and our faith every time I have requested it.......it seems in recent years there has been a new philosophy established by health care workers, hospice and some individuals of quality of life is what life is about......our mother is in the hospital at baptist in little rock. For three days I have been on the phone with nurses, a social worker and a care plan specialist.....I was told yesterday that they would do a swallow test today and see if she would be able to continue to eat thickened foods. Today , at their surprise she followed their instructions and she passed that test. Her nurse reported to me that nurse then fed her and she did well with the feeding.......did not choke... My power of attorney was questioned by the social worker...(even though the emergency had to check in her records when she was in ER to be able to speak to me on the phone). ......so I had to rush around and call moms attorney for that to have him fax an entire legal document of the POA to her. I have called several times a day and communicated with her nurses and was promised by them that they would put a note on moms file for her hospitalest to call me so he could give me an update. For some reason the doctor thought he was reporting to me with my husband over the weekend.....have no idea who it was (someone does though). At any rate the last nurse I spoke to and the social workers both told me to call his office and have them give him a message to call me.....I call the office and they say that is not how it works.....that the nurses are supposed to give him that message. I know everyone has an opinion on how the maimed, the folks whom are totally dependent on others for their care, the deaf mutes who may be paralyzed , etc. I do not know completely why some have to suffer incredible suffering, nor why some survive when doctors say they dont have a chance except because of my faith that God will call someone home and take them when He is ready.....does mans intelligence over ride the giver of life? ......do we decide when to stop the suffering, do we withhold medicine or food and water because ones quality of life isnt of their controll? Do we allow the (lethal injection) medicine to put them to sleep in a way that they are not present enough to ask or indicate that they need water or food? The Isis want to kill all peoples who do not accept their faith.....the world is rottening because mans ego has gotten so big that they believe they can take a life when it becomes to challenging to care for some in their opinion or they or suffering...they used to shoot horses and dogs if the could not walk or were injured that was instant......the whole world likes guns so is that what eventually will come...send us on a guerney and shoot us to get us out of our misery ......or is their misery because of our misery....hey, I have the softest heart, I give to the beggar, I love people, I cry out of sympathy for others struggles and have apathy when appopriate...I loath anyone hurting, but after my help it is up to God Almighty to carry them on or carry them home. Yes, I have had a tough day, I have been cursed, I have had loved ones threaten me and side together against my opinion, my responsibility to my mom according to her wishes expressed several years ago when she decided to get the power of attorney putting those final decisions on me. I have listened to those out spoken of their opinion as well as what those who stand with them (and wont answer my text). I feel like I am being demanded by some to compromise my belief and faith in God that He will take my mom when He is ready.....and it could be tomorrow (which we are not promised). I have been threatened that they would get lawyers...etc. I am exhausted......I want my mother to have nutrient/ food and water....I will not withhold it. If she should die from a bed sore infection and it is being doctored with antibiotics and wound care then that is all that can be done about the sore and the sources are used up....she may die....I know she is going to die from something but I also believe God has the time....if I have shared too much I am sorry.....i know some of you may agree with euthanasia and I do not hate or recent you....but I do not. I love each of you and ask for your prayers once again....moms heart is good her other vital organs are doing their job, her sodium is still too high and they are working on lowering that slowly so not to cause her to go into a coma, she has a stage four bed sore, her elbows are bruised from being bumped on wheel chair and hand and arm therapy they began last week......she is very challenged.....they fed her some today according to the nurse, but even medical personnel for the most part have the new philosophy. She needs nourishment and water we do have that knowledge.....I will be home tomorrow....pray for our safe drive home and for all the complications, emotions and mom to work according to Gods plan.
