Well, it's happened. Thea Greenhalgh, the best mother ever, beloved sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, passed away peacefully this morning at 8:12. After fighting hard for the past several days and finally moving her to hospice last night, this morning she had very poor vitals. They couldn't even...

Everything seemed to be going okay with the PEG. Then, the day before I was supposed to fly to Niger for work for a week, then Paris for a day, then MIT for a week of training, she had a little fall. She was able to get herself up somehow, crawling to the living room and hoisting herself up with...

My mom went in to get her PEG today. She didn't really want it, but she said okay. I'm not really sure why. Actually, I know why. After being in denial for so long, she now will do mostly everything I suggest. It's a terrifying responsibility. I wanted her to get it because I am not ready for...

I posted a month or so ago, daydreaming about going to Africa to pursue my career. In the meantime, my mother, who was in denial of her MND diagnosis, remains in denial. Every question/concern that I've had, she seems to have a doctor's opinion to back up her hypotheses to the contrary. I flew...

My mother is single and I am her only child. She lives in the southwest and I live on the east coast and travel every month or two to Africa for my job, which I love. First, a little bit about me. My job is at a prestigious organization and I just received a promotion, and may soon be offered a...
