Hi everyone hope that you are all enjoying the holidays regardless of anything going on in your life! Sometimes one has to forget the negative for a while, and enjoy life as it comes💕
My mom has been doing very well. Now 6 months post op! However, my family situation at home has been hard as a result of everything that happened with her tumor. My 8 year old brother got anxiety, so he calls my mom from the school phone every 2 hours. He constantly checks on her and is afraid of something happening, it is almost obessive. He stays up to wait for her until 12am after her dyalisis. It is hard! Also my dad keeps getting headaches and dizzines.
My 11 year old sister is still loosing weight and man I am so scared. She has lost 20 pounds since this happened. I am afraid of a diseases coming out in her tests. She is afraid to eat because of her fear of vomiting. She is so pale and skinny. Her mood swings and ridiculously drastic. She looks depressed all the time and she tells me she is stressed and hates everything. She gets full with 2 bites and would go a day with no eating if we don't remind her. She gets mad at us easily. Her blood tests were fine, but we continue doing screening for anything.
It is kind of ironic how my mom is okay physically now, but my family has been affected. I am so afraid all the time, but recently gotten so used to worrying that I live with it. I think I am doing good with coping, but damn like really be testing you sometimes😠My poor mom already has a lot going on and she cries everyday because she feels like her daughter(my sister) is slipping out of her hands.
Any more advice for all of this? I know you all are parents and have to manage illness and your family. Truly admirable🥺💕
