Deterioration

Fall asleep to the sound of vomit... wake up to the sound of vomit... How painful it is to see mum bend over the toilet bowl, cowering in the corner of the bathroom like a thin, malnourished little girl, with a tear  in the corner of her eye. What a harrowing, haunting sight...

A series of appointments planned for the coming week, but can she wait any longer? How long can a human being go without properly eating? Two weeks and counting since she started vomiting severely, and still we do not know what exactly is the cause or how to treat it... These two weeks have been excruciating, painful, nightmarish. And those are just the adjectives I can find to describe how I feel as an onlooker, as someone who can only hand mum a tissue or a cup of water after every single vomiting session...
