She's home.  No hospice just yet.  She's still fighting the fight!

That's great! Home is so much more comfortable than a hospital bed anyway. It's nice to have all your own things around you.

So how are things now, Christine? I like to check in every so often. If I get to be a pain and/or it upsets you when I ask, just tell me to stop and I will. Just don't want you thinking I'm not thinking of you and the family.

Awwww, no never a problem, thank you for asking.  As for Mom, well she is hanging in there, good days and bad.  Her blood pressure went very low on Friday and they nearly admitted her but she was able to get it under control with meds.

She has been getting radiation for a month now and tomorrow starts chemo and radiation, again.

I am struggling with it every day.  Suffering from Chronic fatigue syndromw and having a hard time even getting out of bed these days.  Every little thing is an effort.

She's at home.  We have done home hospice twice before (unfortunately) for her two sisters so my family is pretty familar with it.

She is still having radiation and then chemo and then I guess they'll review to see what's what.  She mostly just sleeps all day now.
