Oz has a great but very simply philosophy - that everybody had a heart, that everybody had a brain, that everybody had courage. These were the gifts that were given to people on this earth, and if you used them properly, you reached the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And that pot of gold was a home. And a home isn't just a house or an abode..., Its people. People who love you and that you love. That's home. - Ray Bolger aka the Scarecrow

Who blew that whistle?
My mom's body is in such a horrible state right now its beyond anything I should or could describe on this blog, and because of that fact the doctors have her on some heavy duty stuff - morphine. That combined with the anti-nausea medicine, and the chemo that pumps into her body all this week she has become a little loopy to say the least. Today she heard someone blowing a whistle in the waiting room, and she has combined what she hears on TV with conversations we have had. As of today I started keeping an official log of what medicine she has had and when - I don't think its wise to let her keep track of those things anymore. Tony and I have turned out to be a pretty great team. But no matter how great we are it is still the hardest thing in the world to see someone you love in excruciating pain. So I don't mind if she is one toke over the line, that is better than seeing her in pain!

I am so sorry your mother is going through so much right now -- prayers are that this will pass and she will be "well & done with it". She is blessed indeed to have you there with her!! Every mother should be so fortunate!
Love you!!
