How strange that I should post some inspiration for when times get tough this morning considering the phone call I have just had from Mummy.
There willl be a break in transmission from blogging photos from the comp as my Mummy will be admitted to hospital this afternoon. She hasn’t been eating because when she does it either bloats up her stomach or goes straight through her. She is that weak that she can barely get herself from bed to the bathroom. We’re hoping that a stay in hospital for a few days will firstly discover what is going on with her tummy, and secondly they might be able to put her on a drip to get some nutrition into her.
My older sis is flying over in the next couple of days. Mum wanted her to wait until she was out of hospital, but my sis wants to be here. If there is one thing we know for certain, that is that nothing is certain in life, so it’s best she is here to spend some time with Mum because anything could happen. I told her she should come over whenever she wants to as the last thing I wish for her is for her to have any regrets and she agreed.
I went to visit Mum yesterday and take some Anzac biscuits with white chocolate and macadamia nuts, trying to tempt her with all her favourites rolled into the one biscuit. She managed a bite, but still told me it was delicious. For the first time ever I walked into the house to find her in bed at 2pm in the afternoon. I cried myself to sleep last night because sitting on the bed talking to her as she lay in it brought back memories of doing the same thing with Dad when he was dying.
All I wish for at this point in time is for them to be able to give her some strength to keep fighting on for a little while longer. I’m not ready to say goodbye just yet and hope that she isn’t either.

Thank you Ms Lia. Knowing that your Mummy put on weight during her stay in hospital has given me some hope. I told my Mummy about that and it’s given her some hope too xxx
Thinking of you beautiful girl. There’s nothing I can say to make you feel better but I can pray for you and your Mum and send some positive and happy vibes out into the universe for you.
Much cyber love xxx

Hi gorgeous girl, just wondering if your Mum is able to have much water? The effects of dehydration are so crippling. The drip in the hospital would help, but she also needs to take water orally, plus some zinc and vitamin B6 to help her body fight. Much love to you and your Mum. Emma.
Big hugs to you and your Mummy. I agree with Lia, hospital is the best place for her to be at the moment. Your mummy will put on some weight like Lia’s mummy did, then she can enjoy her favourite biscuits.
Sorry to read you cried yourself to sleep last night, that bought a tear to my eye too. Your Mummy is not ready to say goodbye to anyone just yet.
Luv you lots. xxx
Dearest Rae, I don’t have any words to make you feel better but I am sending you lots of hugs. I don’t get much time for leaving comments on blogs these days but I do keep an eye on both you and Lia and want you to know that I’m thinking of you and your Mum during these hard times
Lots of love, Beki xox
I’ll e-mail you when I can okay .
Be strong misses .

Hi beautiful lady,
Just leaving you a message to let you know I am thinking of you and your family and sending extra special thoughts for your mum.
Hopefully things will be on the up and up soon. I know it doesn’t help much. But it’s the best I can offer.
Look after yourself
Love and hugs

Thank you so much my gorgeous Little Rene. Just knowing that people are thinking of us, praying for us and sending well wishes makes all the difference in the world. Much cyber love right back at ya xxx
You hit the nail on the head Emma, but I have never doubt you would have. She was severely dehydrated and had to be put on the drip. I’ve been forcing it down her throat every night I’ve visited. I’m off to get some zinc and vitamin B6 tonight before calling in to see her. Much love back to you honey xxx
Thank you Lorraine. She is definitely fighting on and not ready to give up without a fight. She is eating again and enjoying her food, it’s just a shame most of it goes right through her!! Love you lots too honey xxx
Thank you Beki, it means a lot to me that you have us in your thoughts, especially with what you have been through with your Mummy. Lots of love to you too xxx
And I will check my email when I can Matt… thank you for your support xxx
Every thought and prayer counts Maryanne, and I thank you for them. I’m making sure I eat properly and take all my supplements, plus taking my “mental health time” (read gym time) so that I have just some time to zone out and not think for a bit. It has gotten me through so much in the past and I know it will get me through a lot in the near future too. xxx
She is definitely feeling a lot better than when she first went in thanks Charlotte… it’s amazing what a bit of rehydration will do!! xxx
Thank you so much Deb… it means the world to me xxx
She is a lot stronger than when she first went in Irene and thank you very much for the prayers… they are definitely helping!! Hugs right back xxx
I hope so too CG and I am soaking those positive vibes up like a thirsty sponge… LOL!!
She is definitely that isn’t she Mimi!! Thank you so much for leaving a comment… it means a lot xxx
It actually does help a great deal LJ. Reading all these messages has lifted my spirits like you wouldn’t believe so I am so glad you left one also. Love and hugs to you too!! (I just had to backspace as I wrote “love and jugs”… LMAO!!)
Thank you for the big cyber-hugs Hilary, I certainly needed them… she is feeling a lot stronger than when she went in xxx
Thanks for the hugs and the thoughts Liz honey xxx
I hope so too Stephanie xxx
I think it definitely has Raechelle… I’m on autopilot mode at the moment and just doing what I normally do day in and day out. Lucky it’s a routine!!
Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers Ali, they are most welcomed!!
I get my strength from mum Tanz… it’s seen us through some pretty rough times. They make the women from steel in these here parts… LOL!!
You’re beautiful Doris… thank you for your lovely well wishes.
Your comments have all meant the world to me and lifted my spirits so high. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Love Rae xxx

Then hospital is the best place for her. She obviously needs to be hooked up to the iv so they can feed her until she’s well and strong enough to eat. Take all the time you need, we’re not going anywhere. Your Mum and you are in my thoughts each and every day. I hope that she’s up and about again so she can enjoy the favourite biscuits you prepared for you.
Much love to you Miss Rae.
Big Hugs.
