Kris. I cant explain how sorry I am to read of your mothers suffering. You are also in so much pain seeing her go thru this. Please seek out some help for yourself as well. This is such a stressful time. You already had enough on your plate trying to raise children by yourself. Caregivers need a break too.

Do you have many close friends? Has anyone offered their assistance? If anyone has offered to help write down their name and number. If nobody has stepped forward and offered you may need to seek out help thru your church, neighbors, business aquaintences or even other parents from your childrens friends. Now is not the time to be too proud to take help. Even if someone takes your kids out for ice cream or picks up a prescription for you. its a help. If your dont find support where I suggested, ask at the doctors office for any groups that might help. Call the American Cancer Society, they have lots of people who volunteer.

Try to get your mom on here. She could benefit from reading about pain meds. Nobody should have to hurt, it does not help. Her pain needs to be under control. Seek out the local hospice. They will help with pain meds and so much more. Its confusing why the hospital sent her home instead of helping with hospice. It also makes no sense why they dont want her to return. There has to be alot more to that story.

Wish I was of more help. Best of luck to you.
