Mum Rallied A Bit...
Could be false hope, these things happen...
Mum was brighter...but did sleep too.
Mum had some porridge this morning and I later found out she had eaten some lunch and a yogurt.
I managed to get a very small amount of the evening meal into her...some kind of mashed potato and a kind of puree. I managed to get two more yogurts into Mum and a Complan, coffee, some water and a full bottle of Ribina fruit drink. Quite a lot of liquid really.
She was able to talk quite a lot of the time and told me I am "A wonderful son!" and again how much she loves me. It hurts when she asks "Will I get better?" "Why did Get this?" "I am frightened"
She has times where I think the pain is controlled but not always sadly and she says she has not known pain like it. "I did not know cancer was like this..."
I gave her a Mother's Day card which she liked. Thankfully, I was able to have her see it. And it is by her bedside.
I think they will still move Mum into a side room but for now as there are no spare ones she is still on a main ward.
She asked me why she is being put into a side room, I had to say just so she gets some peace and quiet. She seemed to accept that.
So if I hear nothing overnight I'll be there again tomorrow.
