AGAINST ALL ODDS 2

Loraine was a woman who wasn't perfect too she had her own flaws but despite all these she tried to put in her best.she had her own share of wins and failures in the journey through life.
 Loraine was strong by God's grace.God strengthened her.we were working her up for chemotherapy and we noticed she was anaemic with a pcv of 15% instead of at least 30.I called her, I told her to get ready for admission.she asked me if she would go home the next day.I told her she would stay for a couple of days she said okay.we transfused her with 4pints of blood of 4 days and she bounced back.I took her to the bathroom and bathed her,she felt so good,we then took later in the day we walked like never before since her illness just as we got close to the ward she fell,so hard.I felt like dying.people came around the nurses got a wheelchair and wheeled her in.the next she had difficulty in breathing we found out she had fluid collected in her lungs(not due to the fall though).we had to pass in a chest tube to drain the fluid.all this while the oedema was increasing she couldn't stand up. Despite all this she kept saying we are more than conquerors,by his stripes we are healed.Loraine thought she would go home after 4 days she spent a Lil bit over 2 weeks..then she snapped she was leaving us gradually she called my sister and I she accepted her fate in her own way.we thought she was speaking irrationally.she was pale again she couldn't recognize us.we prayed for will...Loraine passed on at 61 going on 62....she earned her wings..

Tribute to my mum

Mum I weep as I type this I always hope we will conquer my way but God had better plans.against all Odds you tried not to cry in my presence and I did same not until I hugged your dead body.I'm trying to be strong mum.I held your gown to sleep to feel you so close.I remember getting you a hooded jacket when you were coming so you won't be cold I never knew barely 8 weeks later you would lie butt naked in a fridge so cold and the physical body I knew alone.mummy I love you...I miss you so much....I miss you.....
God thanks for holding my hands,thanks lord for granting her peace.

Against all Odds is an excerpt from the final,days of my mom's life.she earned her wings yesterday 21st March 2014.
