Prayers and Donations For Danna

Update: My mom has passed on Tuesday May 28th at 7:13pm she took her last breath. The thought of her no longer walking around on this beautiful earth with me is heartbreaking and crushing to my soul....

Man my heart is so broken. My mom is a fighter, still fighting. I don't think there has been 1 day she has gone without pain since September . If you know her, you know she wasn't even over the pain from shattering her ankle when getting this diagnosis. Such a story of all those days in the hospital beating the odds of her bowels waking back up, beating the odds from getting her strength back after sepsis when she was bedridden and last beating the odds of the cancer spreading during her 112 days in the hospital. So far since December only one of her tumors only grew .6cm.

I am sad to say my mom has been back in the hospital with a diverticulitis perforation on May 5th. May 11th she went septic again and came out of it really really swollen. She is too weak for surgery they say and it is best to treat medically with a drain and antibiotics. We were on this hard path again where her recovery was going to be a lot of work and we haven't really sat up and got out of bed in weeks because of the pain. Don't get me wrong she seemed up for the fight at times but May 27th came with another perforation causing extreme uncontrolled pain. Surgery team again not wanting to do surgery because they are sure she won't make it off the table or even heal with all the infection and swelling she has now. To see my mom get told its the end of life either decision was heartbreaking. She had a choice to make and she chose comfort care. Thats what they are trying to do is make her comfortable.

We had so many plans, trips, cemetery visits we were going to take. Try and pre-plan her funeral for the future but in that 6 weeks out of the hospital we didn't get to it. She was so sick and in pain at home it wasn't what we dreamed about for 112 days. I have missed so much work walking along side my mom for this fight. I have depleted my savings staying a float. She was a hard worker until she got hurt then took care of others on her spare time. As my mom is making her way to the gates of heaven I am sitting here crying and thinking I am not ready to face all of this emotionally and financially. I thought we would have more time. Please share for prayers and donations towards her celebration of life. Thank you all for your support.
