A week before mother's day 2010, me, Badoll, and Chris meet with momma's doctor. He was the one who prescribed the feeding tube and also kept insisting that we seriously think about putting her in convalescence. Since that wasn't an option we needed to take control of the situation. After meeting him we found out that she was taking some medication for nerve damage on her neck and back. It wouldn't have been a bad thing but her body was not reacting good to the medication and was curbing her appetite and changing her disposition. We decided to clear out everything with the doctor's approval, except for medications that were necessary for her heart, stomache, and pain. Boy...was she mad at us. Momma like everyone else, does not like having control of her decisions, and we went behind her back. Mother's day was a bear but a week later she was eating and getting back to the momma we knew, and just in time for our Graduation two weeks later.
It was a hard decision at the time and tough for us to stand our ground, but in the long run it has helped alot since soon after, daddy passed, and if we didn't do it before she might not be here with us today driving around in her little blue bug.
Plus, during these past few months, daddy would remind us and get reassurance about still going to Idaho. "Don't forget we're going to Idaho in July." Now that momma was better again, the trip was definitely going to happen now and there was nothing we could do to stop daddy from planning it now.
