Thanks for the update, even though it so tough to read about all that your mom is going through. If anyone can come through this, it is she. Bad enough to have go through all this and to have unfeeling people in charge of your care, it is just so unfair.
Tell your mom that there is no shame in controlling her pain. This is not the time to be a martyr.
Please give her my love.
