Zombie Apocalypse and Pixie Dust - A 2 week Disneymoon (PTR link 11/14)

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Even though there are many MANY restaurants we haven't tried in Disney, I want to go back to Via Napoli to get that pizza again. Maybe one day I'll make it to NY and try the pizza over there. Is it a thin or thick crust?

Thin, of course!!

Life Update

This is just a quick post to let you know that my mom's health has taken a turn for the worse. As of yesterday the doctor has decided to stop all her medication (including insulin for her diabetes) and just give her morphine for the pain. When I saw her today she was still aware, eating, interacting with me and Peanut, but I don't know how long that will last. The doctor thinks she has less than a week to live.

I'm sad , but also a bit relieved that her long fight with cancer will finally come to an end. All I can hope now is that she doesn't suffer and that she goes quickly. Please think of her.​

Oh Mel, I'm so sorry to hear that but at least you will all be at peace. I hope that she isn't in any pain and can pass peacefully, knowing she has her family and loved ones by her side.

Aw that's a shame, Mel sorry to hear about your mum suffering from cancer such a horrible way to go. How old is she? She must be in her seventies right? It doesn't matter if she's that age, the only thing that should matter is that she is a beloved family member so dear to you and that she's gone to a better place. Don't hesitate to recall the good times with her. Seriously you'll regret it if ya don't.

I'm so sorry Mel. You can never be prepared for something like this. Hang in there, and know that we'll all be here if you need us. Sending prayers for you and your family.

Obviously I can't sleep right now, so I thought I'd come here and say thank you to all of you. It means a lot to me that people I've never met care about me.

Thinking of you and your family Mel. Am praying she doesn't suffer, how sad

I'm so sorry Mel! At least she has the morphine so she won't suffer until the end. I'm glad you and Peanut got to see her and she wad coherent.

Oh Mel, I'm do sorry for you! So glad peanut was here to brighten moms last days! You all are in my prayers!

Joseph, my mom is only in her late 50s. Way too young to die. She's not gone yet though, but it shouldn't be long now...

 

[Starscream275]

Hey I didn't know she was in her 50s! Cut me some slack already! But everything will turn out is what I meant to say. (Sighs) Remind me to bash my head on the wall later for that last post cuz I now feel like a prat for saying that last bit in my last post. (I then Facepalm my face and then groan in frustration)

After seeing the pictures with your mother and Peanut, I have thought a lot about your mother. I'm sure that Peanut has been such a blessing to your mom. It's so very hard to see a loved one suffer. Please know that I'll keep your mother and your family in my prayers. I will pray that she doesn't suffer too terribly long and that her last days are pain free.

Mel, I must say I burst out in tears reading the update regarding your Mom. I am hoping the lack of insulin places her in a coma before the pain is unbearable. How wonderful it is that she was able to have some time with Peanut. I know this was probably the highlight of her time left with you. She is far too young to leave this world so early.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Mel, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Praying for you and your mom. I hope your entire family can find peace at this time.

I am so sorry to read about your mom. I will be thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.

Thank you again everyone for the thoughts and prayers. My mom passed away this afternoon. She died peacefully in her sleep. She waited until the last of her family and friends came to visit (a cousin, she got LOTS of visit these past 3 days), and after my brother and I had left her side for the afternoon. So only my aunt and the cousin were present. This morning she was barely awake, but yesterday she was still pretty lucid. When I said goodbye to her yesterday, she said goodbye to me differently, staring in my eyes and putting her hand on my cheek. Then she did the same to Claudia. It truly felt like she was saying goodbye for the last time. So at least I'm glad to have had this sort of closure. And of course I'm relieved that she is no longer suffering.​

So sorry for your loss. I'm so glad your mother's battle is over and that you got to say goodbye and she got to meet little Claudia.

I'm so very sorry Mel. But I am glad you got a lucid goodbye from her, so you have some closure and a good memory to hold onto. My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time.

I am happy to hear that your mother spent her last days being visited by family and friends and that her passing was peaceful. I'm sure it meant the world to her. It's wonderful that you have the memories of her spending time with your sweet Claudia. I will continue to think of you and to pray for peace for you and your family.
