my mom is dying and I'm in a flare!

Ahh, Gumby. (((hugs))) Get a hold of your gastro, after hours emergency call if that is the only way you can get thru to him, get his advice and any meds he suggests (and prednisone!) and go to be w/your mom and dad.

(((hugs))) again - and prayers, lots of prayers, coming your way. Talk to your mom - and your dad - about the good times. That really does help. Its the only thing that got me thru the loss of my oldest daughter. It will get you thru this terribly tough time too. Your mom and dad will appreciate your sharing all the wonderful and funny memories. And it will help you tremendously as well. Its one of the best ways to let them know how much you love and appreciate them.

God bless you honey. I know what you're going through. You'll get through this, I promise... (((HUGS)))

I hoping that you haven't updated us because you are with your mom. Just know we are thinking of you.
