Mom's feeling less dizziness after early evening IV fluid treatment. She is still in quite a bit of pain & very physically weakened. Walking from hospital bed to bathroom & back is difficult for her right now. The floral bouquet that I brought & put in her room did cheer her up a bit.
I gave 3 large sunflowers for the unit team to put at nurse's station too.

Please keep praying for my Mom 🙏 Please pray that the abnormal mass on her liver is not a malignant cancer tumour 🙏

A whiteboard displays daily information with sections for "TODAY IS", "I LIKE TO BE CALLED", "MY GOAL FOR TODAY IS", "ACTIVITY", "THERAPY SERVICES", and "NOTES". The date is written as "Wednesday, September 2nd". Under "I LIKE TO BE CALLED" is the word "Bong" with a small drawing of a flower. Under "MY GOAL FOR TODAY IS" it says "welcome to 5 north!". The "CARE TEAM" section lists "Nurse: NICK" and "HCA: BRUCE". In the "NOTES" section, "Daughter: Què" is written with a heart symbol. Expo markers are attached to the side of the board.

A vase of sunflowers, yellow roses and small yellow flowers sits on a hospital room windowsill, with a view of a modern medical building and parkade, a street with cars, and a tree-lined landscape under a cloudy blue sky.

I'm glad that Audie, Mom's nurse last night is back on tonight. He's very good with helping Mom at the hospital & holds me in high respect too.
Mom's day nurse today wasn't awful but he wasn't great either. It wasn't until he was informed that I'm a death doula, by a few others who met me yesterday, that he started listening/heeding my requests better. The day HCA was a stellar Filipino man who was excellent with Mom & me. I informed entire staff that I'm documenting everything.

@dropbear Thanks. I'm really hoping Mom starts showing some more signs of recovery over next few days. I'm doing my very best. I'm super anxious & worried.
