I'm here at the hospital and spending the night with Mom. I was able to get all the laundry done, I was running out of clothes to wear...lol. She has to drink that 'go-lite' stuff to clean her out, the colonoscopy will be done in the morning around 11:30 AM.
Right now she is having dialysis fluid drained so I'm sitting here while they are hooking her up with a mask on. Never done that while on the computer...  Mom is so happy that I'm here with her and I'm glad she's happy. I doubt we'll get much sleep because when that stuff starts working, I know we'll be running to the bathroom often. Her hip is hurting her bad right now so the nurse is going to get her some tylenol. The hip has arthritis in it and some times is very painful. Didn't hurt much at all yesterday, but tonight...she is really complaining about it.I will be so glad when tomorrow comes and she can quit drinking that stuff....it's pretty nasty and it breaks my heart she has to drink it and is so miserable doing so. Thank you all again for everything. You really have know idea how much I love you all and the support you give to me and my Mom.

I know your mom is so happy you are there with her. But you are right. You will get little if any, sleep. I always feel like crap when I stay all night in the hospital with Gary.

Janet, get them to put a potty chair right beside the bed so she doesn't have far to go. She's already so weak and dizzy, she's gonna feel awful when that stuff starts to work. Don't hesitate to call the nurse for help! I'm so glad you are there for your mom, and I'm glad she appreciates it. I have spent many, many nights with my mom just in the same circumstances you are in now. And you know what...I would be a happy, happy woman if I had just one more night to spend with her, even if it was a Go-Lite night, lol!

It sounds like your Mom's being taken well care of.......by you and the nurses. I'm sorry that you probably won't get much sleep but that's the price that we have to pay......sometimes it's with our kids and sometimes it's with our parents. You'll have some free days at home thankfully to catch up. Again......hugs to you and your Mom.

We do have a potty next to the bed...it makes it so much easier. It's 5:30 AM now and I've gotten about an hours sleep. I'm hoping while Mom is having the procedure I can maybe catch up a little.

Yes Janet, do try to sleep while she is gone to the procedure. Otherwise, you are going to feel horrible today.

Janet, I hope they can get some results today and find where/why your mom is lossing blood.
I have been thinking and praying for you both! Hope you can get some rest, (one reason i haven't called you, don't want to interupt you if you are sleeping.) Miss you though!!
