Forty-Second Post

So I am with Mom once again today. Unfortunately today she seemed really dejected and kept saying things like "I can't take anymore." I told her to hang in there but she didn't want to hear any "just a little while longer." She was convinced she was doing poorly and seemed very desponded.

When I came in though she did keep saying she loved me and that she wanted me to go home and get some sleep.

    Scott,
    I know that when your mom is discouraged that you want so much to say the very best thing to encourage her right away. Sometimes, it isn't always what we say that is the most important thing. You being with her whenever you can is encouragment and motivation in itself. She's getting better. As her body continues to heal and improve, her spirits and thoughts will improve too. Your mom has come so far, and she's truly blessed to have you and your dad help her each step of the way. She's such a strong lady. She'll get through all that she has to get through and continue to heal.
    Love and prayers for all of you,
    Priscilla McLaughlin

    Scott,
    Your Mom was in very good spirits this afternoon. She sat up and ate some real lunch, and from that position she could see the slide show your Dad set up. SHe really enjoyed looking at the pictures. Every time a picture of you came up she commented on it, and on the pictures of you when you were younger she would say, " Oh look, isn't that cute?" Your Mom adores you so much and your presence through the good times and the not so good is a constant source of strength and energy for her. She has come such a long way -it is a miracle. Look for your Sr. Video ;)

    scott, i worked on ICU for over 20 years and it's usually when patients start getting better and realise the enormity of what's happened that they start saying ''i can't take anymore'' . it's a normal reaction and therefore a positive thing , good luck , paul
