ZT:Yinu:I just spoke with 田牛妈妈 on the phone!

I called 田牛妈妈 and spoke with her for 10 minutes. She sobbed(we both did) and told me that she's very grateful that there are so many people caring about her and willing to help. I can tell that she is very weak but trying her best to fight the battle. With the permission of 田牛妈妈, I have summarized her latest condition based on our conversation.

1) She is getting little bit of her appertite back and trying to eat more food(the support from all of you has given her hope and encouraged her to eat more). She mentioned she is trying to drink little bit soy milk and regular milk and eat little bit egg, chichen and meat. As she does not have stomach, she has to spend more time to chew the solid food and has to stand straight after eating and drinking(to avoid the food deposit in one part of the instestine, I think). She feels that she's gaining some ennery after eating solid food.

2) She is taking Chemo medicine in 14 days interval and the medicine makes her very drowsy, tiring and weakened. She will take a short break after 14 days. Tomorrow(July 22) is the last day of the recent round. She will then has a short window to feel better(less side effects of the medicine). I have asked if we can see her, she said 'yes' but worried that her home is a bit massy. I told her not to worry about anything else other than herself.

3) As she does not have the energy to take care 牛牛 since her surgery, 牛牛 is currently staying with her relatives back in China. She missed him terriblely and wanted to be with him...

4) They have decided to go back to China on 30th. They are currently packing and storing their belongings. They will hire moving company to help with the moving. They will leave their car in a friend's as they may not be able to sell it within such short period of time.

She mentioned that all the caring and support from this forum have given her hope and strength to fight the battle(gaining some appertite is a positive sign). She also told me that she worked for Ranch 99 for a week before she got very sick(and had to go back to China for surgery). When her colleagues learned her condition, they offered helping hands to her and her family(she was sobbing badly when she told me this). She told me that she is extremly thankful to all the people who is caring and helping her...

Here are few thoughts from me:

1) For those sisters and brothers who live nearby and want to visit 田牛妈妈, I suggest that we organize the visit instead of going seperately. I told 田牛妈妈 that I would call tomorrow to find out when we can visit. If you are interested, please give me a call at: 512-484-5293.

2) Please keep giving your words of encouragement, prayers, financial support...whatever way you can help to 田牛妈妈. Let her know that we are with her and there is hope...

I will keep you posted on the visting date.
