Getting Weak

Mom is very weak because she can't eat.  Her throat has been getting raw/sore again and it's very difficult for her to swallow.  

I had to edit my last post....Mom lost 36 not 26 pounds in 6 weeks!  Guess I don't do math very well. :)

Mom decided to skip radiation for the rest of the week.  I told her I didn't like the idea.  She's weak because she needs to drink more Ensure for the vitamins, minerals and protein.  She's concentrating more on just Gatorade and staying hydrated but I told her that wasn't enough.  Elisa and I are frustrated.  Why can't they just give people shots of this stuff so they don't have to worry about getting the necessary nutrients!  

Elisa has the day off tomorrow so she is going to try to push mom to get her treatment tomorrow.  I told mom that if she fails to go the rest of the week, she then needs to tack on two days next week.  Her last day was supposed to be Monday.  I told Elisa to push mom to drink more Ensure too.  Elisa and I will be there Saturday and will push mom more.  She only has a few more days left, she has to hang in there and do what is necessary.

Mom was throwing up the other night too, which doesn't help.  Will let you know later how things are going...
