Thank you to everyone for sharing your stories, thoughts, words of wisdom. It has meant so much to me and has really helped me think through the situation at hand. At first my mom was set on camping and having me not come. However after she sat and thought about it for a day our entire plans have changed. I am going to meet her there and we have rented a hotel room. I am thankful for that because not knowing how she will feel or what they will do, having a real bed and bathroom sounds like a good idea. We decided her husband will stay home for now as I am the organized go-getter. I could also tell that when I talked to my mom she was relieved to not have to worry about logistics or details because I would be there. I took care of our flights and hotel. I will take care of her in every sense, get food, go shopping (we have a small kitchen) and just overall let her focus on what the doctors are saying. I can then translate the info to our loved ones and help her navigate over all. We are lucky that both of us are very financially stable and we are able to go on this adventure but its not about the money, if COVID times have taught me anything, its never to take things for granted. I am also very fortunate that I have a loving and supporting husband who has said go! Your son and I will be fine, the house will be a mess, we will be living out of a laundry basket and have ramen noodles more than once but you need to go. My son also adores his grandmother above any one else and has also found comfort in knowing I will be there. I will continue to post to this chat and keep you updated on our adventures. Thank you for all your support this journey is just starting but its been so great to connect with people who really know and understand.
