Of Mothers and Marx

[zellandyne]

This has been a hell of a week. My mother got sick on Sunday. Well, sicker. It's not like anyone on chemo is precisely well. She started vomiting and getting dehydrated and by Wednesday morning she was on an IV. Honestly, it's not that different from her standard episodes of illness. Except the chemo is likely triggering it a lot more frequently.

I am so sorry. :( :: hugs ::

Yay for J!
I'm sorry things are so awful all around right now.
Take care of yourself.

Oh, poor kitty. I've been through that with my last cat, and it is so hard to see a family member suffer, but now you have two family members to worry about. Hope everything goes well, and if you need food, let us know!

Oh god -- I'm so sorry to hear that. I could possibly chip in a little on Marx's behalf; you've got enough to deal with already, without having to worry about taking care of your poor kitty, too.

[zellandyne]

Thank you so much for the offer. J says he can cover it, though. So we should be all right.

[zellandyne]

And... it made me feel a lot better. And less alone. Thank you.

You're definitely not alone. And while your friends can't fix everything, we can certainly try to make sure you don't have to worry about your kitty at the same time as everything else.

i second the motion of chipping in for Marx if you were to put up a paypal address, or a donate button or something. jeremy and i both know how that feels.

i hope your mom gets past this illness spell, and that Marx gets better soon. *hug*

[zellandyne]

Thank you for offering; that's amazingly generous. J says he can cover it, so Marx should be fine.

But... yeah. I don't have the words right now. But thank you. *hug*
