meJust got off the phone with my mom. She's not doing too good. The paralysis is getting worse and the treatment is not helping, except for making her very tired and depressed.

She's scheduled to go the hospital on Wednesday for a week of testing and will most likely have surgery afterwards.

It really breaks my heart when she's so down, but at least I was able to provide some moral support. She sounded pretty lively by the end of the conversation which made me feel a whole lot better.
