Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[peteblue]

Hi everyone,

Yesterday was a very difficult day. I was at the hospital all day.

The good news is that the 2nd transfusion has boosted mums hemoglobin to normal levels but the bad news is that she has lost a ridiculous amount of weight and despite maintaining a decent appetite weighs only 36 kgs.

Even worse , overnight mum became delirious and was hallucinating. She was having imaginary conversations with my wife who wasn't with me. Calling the cat and trying to stroke her , asking the nurse if she was my wife's sister , accusing people of stealing her jewellery, the list was enormous. I cannot begin to tell you how distressing this was for me.

Despite being there virtually all day the Dr was too busy to discuss mums condition with me so I will go back again today and try again.

Stick with it Jazzy, you can only do your best. My mum went through something similar and I hate to say it but you need to prepare yourself mentally for the worst. My love and prayers are with you all…….
