Awww gee thanks girls...for letting me vent and understanding!
Against my better judgment, I took Alyssa up there with me. She was on really good behavior (for a 2 year old). We just took a break and walked around when she got antsy in the room...and it worked out fine. Grandma had some cookies for her. I joked with my mom that even when she is near death, she STILL has ways to spoil her granddaughter! We are trying to brighten up her day as much as possible. My friend thinks that even after she passes, she'll still find a way to spoil her. I can picture it now. I'm sitting here on the computer, and suddenly a piece of candy floats across the room, unwraps, and lands in Alyssa's mouth...Yup. Its possible.

I don't give Alyssa candy, EVER...and my mom insists she'll make sure she gets it.
So...my mom is feeling much better since they gave her zanax (sp?). It has helped her calm down, and her breathing is getting better. She said she feels better. BUT the doctors aren't sure she has much of a chance for a complete recovery. Hospice keeps getting brought up...ALOT. And my mother really wants to do it if she isn't going to get much better. But we'll see. She was ready to give up the other day. But people with breathing problems get high anxiety, so I asked for the doc to prescribe her something, and am SO GLAD he did. It has made a big difference. Its helping her to think better, and relax.
And she was so happy to see Alyssa...and Alyssa was SO EXCITED to see her grandma. Even despite the mean nurse who told me to put her in a chair and keep her there. But thats more of a vent, and I'm actually in a better mood today...so..
Hope everyone is having a lovely day. (No I didn't take a zanax

)
