Another Mom Update

[Janet]

Since the roads were bad my brother took my Mom to the Dr. today. Her blood count is staying up to 12 which is a great thing. Looks like they've fixed the bleeding problem finally.

Bad thing is her kidney function went from 23% to 17%, not good. Mom is really down about the results. The Dr. said she'll probably be on dialysis in 3-6 months.

We are going to a place called Wellbound on the 18th. They will show us a presentation about dialysis and answer any questions we might have. Then we go to the kidney Dr. right afterwards. From what we know so far...the Dr. said something about putting a stint or something in her arm or stomach before she goes to Florida just in case she would need dialysis before she comes back in April.

Life is getting harder...between my Mom and worries about my son (everyday worries) I just don't know if I can handle it all. I use to be so much stronger, but I'm not anymore...I'm tired. Please keep us in your prayers.
