Mom slept well last night with the help of medication. She doesn't have near the alertness today that she had yesterday. Lisa came to check her out - BP 102/50. She didn't have anything much to tell us except the BP was lower and her voice a little weaker. She is wonderful in the way that she talks to Mom, always knowing the right thing to say.
Joyce came and gave her communion in the afternoon. She seems to be very drowsy today and weak in voice and in spirit. Its so hard to see her this way. It makes me wonder what tomorrow will bring. Will she have a better day like she had yesterday, or continue to go downhill.
Tonight when I got into bed, I really struggled with anger over cancer. The thousands and thousands of lives that have been affected by this horrible disease. They can get a vaccine for the H1N1 disease within a year of the breakout, but cancer has been around since Hippocrates in the 400's BC, with millions, probably billions of dollars raised by compassionate and loving people, some that have been touched by the disease and some that have not, and still no discovery, no vaccine, no cure. I don't understand it. There are all the rumors of why there is no cure...the selfishness and greed of the pharmaceutical and medical professions, but I want to believe that it would not be humanly possible to put those things before helping the millions of families affected by this terrible disease. It has touched nearly EVERYONE, I'm sure including those with the power in those professions, so I can't imagine that is the case. So I'm just going to continue to pray that someone, somewhere, very, very soon will discover what is needed to eliminate cancer.
