Its been about a year and half since i last posted anything here.  It’s mostly been the same routine for mama during the past year or so.  She has her schedule of appointments: 1)Speech Therapy 2) Physiotherapy 3)Occupational Therapy 4)Personal trainer at home and 5)Neurologist.  Usually these kept mama busy and always on top of things, and i think having a busy schedule has really helped her condition maintain itself.

During the past month or so, my family and myself noticed a decline in mamas overall well-being, her meals are taking longer (around 2-3 hours), speech is barely audible, and movement has regressed.  Last week she required a minor procedure (colonoscopy), which needed a full cleansing and flushing of the body’s wastes and toxins.  After the colonoscopy, she has become very tired, weak, and barely moving.  Thankfully shes eating her meals, medicine, and passing stool which is the most important thing as its been causing her difficulty recently.  

God bless mama shes is a strong strong soul, with a huge heart.  Yesterday we celebrated my parents 38th anniversary and she smiled when i reminded her.  Mama always emphasized on special occasions (bday’s, anniversaries, etc).  Thats why i always try to follow her foot steps and whenever there is an occasion I personally take the initiative to make sure everyone is celebrating, because that’s what she would want.  I miss the days she used to call me and nag over and over and over about getting a cake for my brother or sister or wife etc, etc, etc.  She hasnt spoken for over a week and the only way of communication is through hand signals (Thumbs up-Yes or Index Finger -which means no).  Its been tough on all of us, but the good news is that every time i ask if shes in pain, she says no.  She hasnt lost her sense of humor also, this morning i asked her how was ur sleep last night, she pointed her index finger, i asked her why?

1)was the pillow bothering you? Index Finger

2)was the blanket too heavy? Index Finger

3)were you hungry? Index Finger

4)were their loud sounds outside? Index Finger

5)were your pajamas uncomfortable? Index Finger

I ran out of questions so i asked her… Did you miss me?? and She gave me a Big Thumbs Up! 

The past week has been very tiring for all of us, i haven’t slept properly or been myself.  She has a chest appointment now, and another appointment in a few days for Botox (which helps her relieve her muscles and eat better.)  Hopefully, 

Mama we all love you.
