Ever since my mom's last Dr appoint and found out she is getting worse all of the sudden she is bombarded w appoints! Which is good but my dad is using all his vacation time to take her. I wish they could combine them some how. But they tested my mom's oxygen levels and her lungs and they are good! She has another appoint next week for something then the following week a consolidation for different devices for her to use to communicate. I told her she needs this and I would take her myself if my dad couldn't. Then the week after that is the big appoint w the specialist and the week after that is her neurologist appoint. And sometime she will have to do a sleep thing for a bi pap. So far everyone is handling everything good. But I don't think my dad knows just how progressive this disease is. He thinks its just a step at a time thing and she won't keep progressing until a dr brings it up and he is faced w it. My dad is even starting to weigh my mom because she lost 20 since last Jul/Aug. He doesn't think she is eating. She is but she is saying that her appetite is changing and everything is tasting different. All of spirits have been staying up but I dread hearing about the big appoint in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping that maybe there will be new meds for her to try or something. But I am trusting in God and I know he has a purpose for all of this. Just hope and pray we can just hold on to that. Hoping for the best!:razz:
