Hey Baybees! How have you guys been? I hope everyone is doing well.
Today I just wanted to do a life update and tell you what's been going on in my life and why I've been absent for a while.
So let's begin.... The end of February my mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. This was a huge blow to me. My mother and brother are my everything. She is my sister, my best friend and mom all rolled into one.
On March 13 she went to have her port put in so she could start chemo. The next day she fell ill. We thought that she had a stomach bug but, by that Monday she couldn't do anything. She was admitted to the hospital that night and they started running tests.
The next day she called me a told me to get to the hospital because she was really sick. When I got there she told me and my brother how serious the situation was. I began to cry a few mins later the doctors told us the cancer has latched on to either the colon or small intestine and that if they thought it was where they were thinking she had no chance of survival. I was in shock. They told her she has two options to not have surgery and have a few hours with her family or have surgery and see if they could fix it. It would be a big gamble though.
My mom asked us what she should do and we told her do whatever she wants. We support her decision. She decided to have the surgery. I told my mom I loved her and I must have kissed her 100 times. I immediately began to call and text friends to ask them to pray for us.
We waited in the surgical waiting room for about 2 hours and the surgeon walked in and said she made it and did surprisingly well but they had to give her a colonstomy.
I was a bit relieved but I knew she still has alot to go thru. She ended up staying at the hospital for 3 weeks and then went to rehab for 2 weeks.
While she was in rehab my grandma, whom my mother was taking care of had a stroke and never regained consciousness and passed away 14 days later. That was another big blow to me. I was my grandmas lil girl she spoiled me rotten lol.
The day before the funeral my mom got to come home and a week later she started chemo. The chemo is tough on my mom and she's been in and out of the hospital but we are just trying to stay positive and have faith. I know God is good and he can do anything.
So with the loss of my grandma, my mom and her cancer and being verbally attacked by two family members I'm the middle of this I ain't had the strength to do much of anything.
So that sums up where and why I Been gone. If anybody has any suggestions on what foods to eat or how to help with fatigue please let me know.
Thanks a million
Xoxo
