Emotional ups and downs

I think the best word to describe mom at this point is exhaustion. After a fairly good day yesterday, she had a rough day today starting with a big vomiting session. This has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. Dr. Ott has told her she will not be able to eat until she goes a week without vomiting. So when every she throws up, it's like she has to start over again. It seems like a never ending battle at this point. She tries her best to keep a smile on her face, but the thought of having surgery again is just too overwhelming. She wants to "will" her body to work, but it just doesn't seem to be listening. She is going to bed early tonight. Hopefully she will get some good healing rest tonight.
