I found it hard to figure out whether to visit or not when my mom was sick, especially since my mom said she didn't want me to come. But in what way did she mean that??

You might just call the nurses station directly and or ask for the dr to phone you. Once we got to the hospital, my mom's dr sat right down with my sister and me to look at and explain her scans, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-43019268384526214272011-05-07T17:16:54.835-07:002011-05-07T17:16:54.835-07:00It's hard to be far away at times like this. ...It's hard to be far away at times like this.
