I want my brothers to start learning more about this and I've told them. I need to help Ricky research grants so he can go on to school after he graduates and it's very time consuming. I'm so afraid I won't be able to handle it all and there is no way I can MAKE my brothers do anything. I have a feeling they are going to leave it all up to me.
Janet,

I know what you mean when it comes to brothers. They will help with the outside stuff but the health issues are something totally different. They think
it's the girls responsiblity. Been there. Hope it works out with your mom.
She's in my prayers too. Hang in there on the grant stuff. You and Ricky can do it.
Have you talked to his school counselor? I know the ones up here sure have
helped Dustin and now Jennifer.

Yes we have talked with her, but of course we have to do all the work. Ricky is a procrastinator and I just feel so bogged down right now. Maybe his dad will help...we'll see.

Janet I know when they put my port in and did the biopsy they said I wasn't out all they way but I don't remember anything until it was all over. they said I wasn't asleep by their terms which just means I wasn't out enough to slow breathing and body functions like they had to when I had the actual surgery.

Thanks everyone one.

Debbie, that must be what the Dr. was talking about. Mom should do okay with that I think.

Janet,

My ex-husband had to have a kidney transplant. He was on dialysis while waiting for the kidney. This goes back almost 15 years, but the first type he was on was abdominal - I guess it's a little bit easier of the system because it's continuous. A tube was placed in his abdomen, after it healed, he used that tube to pour saline into the abdominal cavity - it was changed every 8 hours. He eventually needed to have regular dialysis - but I wonder if it's an option that might work for your mom.

We had talked to the Drs. about this type, but she said no...she didn't want to have to see a tube sticking out all the time. She's 85 so as long as she is understanding what to expect, we are letting her make the decisions.
