Hello everyone!
Just want to share some good news...my mom said she felt a slight improvement in her back yesterday. It is small but encouraging news and her muscle wasting seems to have stopped. She is taking Chinese medicine, but more than anything I think it's her positive attitude. She exercises everyday, goes for walks, prays, cares for and about the people around her and still has people over.
My mother has lived away from her mom (my grandmother for 30 years). Because of this illness my grandmother has started calling and chatting with my mom for hours (they never did this before because they wanted to save money), and I believe it's making a huge difference. My mom said the phone calls remind her of happiness she had before being diagnosed.
My mom is surrounded by love, by my father (who cooks the Chinese medicine for her daily and gives her a massage every night), her two daughters (me included), and the phone calls from her mom and sister.
So, if you are facing this illness or have a loved one in the same situation, I reccomend the best medicine...pure unadulterated love + prayers!
Hope you find this news encouraging!
Love,
Lily
