My Mum
My Mum
I have been MIA over the past few days as I have been at the hospital where my Mum is very ill. She suffered a suspected stroke on Sunday but tests have ruled this out and they are still trying to determine what is wrong with her. A scan revealed lesions and swelling on her brain and the part that is affected is that part which controls language and comprehension. At the moment they are running tests for brain cancer. She is finding it hard to communicate with us and is very confused. It is heartbreaking not to be able to talk to her properly and explain to her what is going on.
My Mum is the kindest, most loving, generous and gentle person you could meet and we all love her and miss her so much. Please hold her in your thoughts and prayers over the coming days and thank you to all who have reached out to me with your support.
Oh I’m so sorry. I will be thinking of her and of you as well. xxx

Marie, I’d noticed all right that I wasn’t getting anything in my inbox. I’m so sorry to hear about your mum: I’m sure she must be confused and scared. It’s good that you can be there for her, though I have no doubt you are finding the sense of helplessness difficult to deal with. But, really, being there is everything that she needs and wants from you right now. And you know how to do that.
I’ll keep you and her in my thoughts and prayers.
Best wishes,
Máire

I’m so sorry. You probably know this, but we went through something similar with my mom earlier this year. Her sodium levels were way, way low because her thyroid wasn’t working properly. But it’s terrible waiting for those answers.
Love and hugs to you.

Hi Marie
Your Mum and your family in my thoughts. It’s so tough when you see your Mum in such a distressed way and not able to communicate. I remember my own Mum with her final battle with multiple sclerosis and how incredibly hard it was to communicate at first… but you work out a way, a look or an eye movement… and just to know you are there with her and that love travels both ways.
Hugs
