My mother made the exam to her lung and after it,she fainted.After several exams,it was diagnosed that she has a brain aneurisma, in the only place of the brain that can't be removed because it makes connection to the eyes,the balance,and the behaviour.
I got a call saying my mother was in ICU fighting for life because her internal bleeding was very serious.
So the next day she has a 3 and half surgery named embolization.(A process where they glue the area that is bleeding,to try to make it stop).
The surgery went well,but she was in ICU for 15 days cause she couldn't moove without help,she was having memory and behaviour problems,and her heart was beating much to fast at times,and others much too slow.
I will never fotget the image of my mother in ICU...
After those eternal 15 days,my mom is changed to a regular room,where she stays a month making fisioteraphy,and gaining weight.
When she finally came home,she was very sick and fragille.But with a lot of treatmensts and fisioteraphy,she started to be able to do a few things on her own.
Problem is that there are some areas afected that will never recover.One of them is her emotions and behaviour.(only sometimes she is "in herself"),another thing is her balance.Because she has double vision,she dosen't have the notion where things are,so she needs help to walk and do everything.
On her lastest appoitments,last year,and some already this year,after 2 MRI,it was found that her brain aneurisma grew.
This is the same as saying that she has a bom in her head that can explode from one moment to the other,or a bomb that will slowly kill all her organs till it burstes,and she ends up dying.
These past months,my mother has been getting worst almost day-by-day,and because of it,she was making a lot of exams to her heart that sometimes stops beating,other beats much too fast,and also to her kidneys cause she has a kidney infeccion that dosen't go away no matter what she takes for it.
Last but not least,it was diagnosed that if my mother dosen't try to make a eye surgery to see if they can fix one of the muscles she has paralised,she will end up getting blind.
We were all told about the risks this surgery takes.My mom can dye in the surgery.It is a very delicated surgery because they will have to touch in the area where the aneurisma is.
To try to make things easier for my mother,she dosen't knows that she might never wake up from this surgery.If she gets too anxious and her blood pressure gets even more high, it can be fatal to her.
Since 2006 my life chaged completly.I was making plans to start my life,and all of the sudden,my mother needs me in a way that if i wasn't here for her,she would have to be in the hospital,or homeless,and i would never allow that to happen,because i love my mother more than wors can say.
I just wish i could do more than just help her doing things.
My biggest problem now,is that i am exausted phisically and emotionally speaking.
Since 2006 that i have all my life on hold and i am completly alone here doing everything because my brothers are never here.
Now next thursday,my mom will go to the hospital to be prepared for the surgery that will be next friday,24rd,and i am scared to death of what can happen cause even though i am being told to be prepared for everything,i have no idea how can i do that,because the idea of loosing my mother scares me,and it is something that i can't imagine happening so soon.
Can anyone tell me how do i prepare myself?
Sometimes i have no idea how i can still do things,as i feel so weak and without strenghs.
All i want to ask all of you, is how do i deal with something like this?
What more can i do and give to make my mother so she feels better?(i feel so useless)
If someone has an idea,if it is not asking too much,please pray for my mother so everything goes the best way possible.Her name is Elisa.
Thank you so much for everything.
