As for lunch mom still choke on it, so l gave her some milo, and to my surprise she drank without choking. Dinner was great she finished a bowl porridge, that brighten my hectic day, haha. Anyway, l started useing the "OTO Electro Reflexologist" massager for her sole and the "Lip Trainer"with me helping to move her mouth, the Lip Trainer is to activate the nerve around the mouth and neck muscle to reduce choking.

Thank you !. ________________________________________________ DAY 4: Today it's really a very very hectic, stress and worried day for me, because mom can't swallow, every mouth full she took seem to be choking her, so she rather not eat, since she is a diebiatic on insulin without food her sugar level will drop, she woke up sweating and slur so badly that l thought the worse has come, so l check her sugar level, is indeed very low at 3.1, l was shock with my hand trembleing l gave her milo to bring the sugar lever up and housecall a doctor. After drink the milo for about 20 mins, sugar level went back up to 7.80,phew.........just before the doctor came. Doctor said she looks alright....... we just got to monitor her sugar very closely, and advice us to gave her some sweet stuff everyday because she's eating less and on insulin jap, for this reason her sugar level will drop, and is dangerous because if sugar level is too low she'll slip into a coma, he said is better to be higher than too low. Will pray very hard for a better tomorrow.

Mom have to be very careful, she chok easy, someone have to be with her when she eat or drink to remind her to swallow slowly before she puts in another mouthful.

Thank you !. Today is the first day that mom wanted me to take bath for her, l can see she is really very weak, but she kind of enjoy the bath maybe because she felt clean and smell good, haha. Mom seems to like the brown rice fish porridge, maybe is easier to swallow instead of bitting. Well, thank god she still do her physio cycle obediently, this will aleast help her in some way.

Some time ago, I made an entry about my mom feeling not so good. Mom is really not looking that good, she has been coughing almost like choking and had difficulty in breathing, she even finds it difficult to bite when she eats, l have been cooking soft brown rice fish porridge for her and bought some cough mixture.............. hopfully she will get well. Her walking is just as bad infact worse she even wants me to take bath for her tomorrow which she finds it dificult to do it herself, really kind of sad because, most my other siblings are not staying in the same town, only me and my younger sister who is busy with her own family, anyway there is not much l can do except to try my best in taking care of her.

l know is silly to copy and paste some story line from somewhere, but somehow l felt a deep meaning in it, that l want to share.......... BEING A MOTHER After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would Love to spend some time with you.' The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my Mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. <>That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. 'I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,' I responded 'just the two of us.' She thought about it for a moment, and then said, 'I would like that very much.' That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. ' I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,' she said, as she got into the car. 'They can't wait to hear about our meeting.' We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half-way through the entrees, I lifted my eyes and saw Mother sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. 'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,' she said. 'Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor,' I responded. During the dinner , we had an agreeable conversation nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I ag reed. 'How was your dinner date?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice, much more so than I could have imagined,' I answered. A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said: 'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. 'I love you, son' At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: 'I love YOU' and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some 'other' time. ................but somehow or rather......it's easier said than done.............
