HELP WANTED !!!!!

This is Really Hard for me to Post out here about this because we ALL have our issues in Life. I almost have a Year in but these are the kind of things in Life that can affect my Sobriety since I am still a Babe in the Womb. I wanted to post it here because this is the Community where it is has a lot of people from all over.
As most of You Know my Mom has been dealing with her return Cancer and goes to Chemo. Well she has been very positive and has been a Trooper about this so far.. BUT today she wants to give up. She has gotten down to 87lbs because she can not put her teeth in and she only has half a tongue. She can not taste anything and everything has to be in liquid or blended. Yes, she drinks lot of protein drinks and shakes. She can only eat soft food so it is very limited.
My Question is...What can she take to help her Gain Weight or get some Energy. What are some of the Foods that we can make up that are soft and can go down just like a baby with no teeth. BUT the hard thing is no or half tongue so it is really hard to eat food. She is so sick of ALL of this and being in pain that it does scare me to death that if we do not put weight on it will be sooner then later. I sure would Love to Hear any feed back regarding this.
I sure hope they do not move this because My own Sobriety is at stake..You know we can run but we can not hide. I know a lot of you have had some worse tragic things in your life as well, so I am no better then anybody else but I do need Support Right Now and I have no were else to Turn..
Thanks!

Vic, I don't know why things tend to happen like this. All at once and it seems sometimes like the better we are trying to be and live our life, the more stuff goes wrong. Just know that you are strong and you can handle this, even if you don't feel like you can. If you find you have no more strength left, then fall back on your friends. We will hold you up for as long as you need. Please keep that strong faith that you have. It will help you to get through this and other tough times. I am sending positive vibes and prayers like crazy to you. Sending you a big, huge, moose hug too. A moose smoochie too! Love you my friend. Please hang in there.

Thanks Ricart. I called my Niece and she did not know what was going on. I thought my Mom had been talking to her..So then I had to give her a Double Whammy. She new about my Mom and chemo but did not know that she has lost so much weight. My Step Dad raised her and they are close so we all are meeting in the morning. I called my Biological dad and he lives next door to my only Brother and he will tell them. This is just to much. I know it will be SO Hard but we are all getting up there and it was going to happen sooner or later..Just SO dam mad at the Drs because my Step Dad has been having issues for years and they never checked when he was in CA. Now it is to late and they can not do anything because of his age and how bad the cancer has spread..Maybe God wants me to help Cancer Patience or something..I will Pray very Hard. Time to walk out in the Forest and talk to God..lol

Thanks ABN.. I might have to PM you about this.

Julie send me a plane ticket. I want to run and hide..lol

The Dr called and said I have to move him over to the Nursing Home. He just Loved it over at the Assist Living..His room was set up with everything. Just like a home. Now I have to pack most of it up. OMG This is SO Fing Hard on me right now..I feel like I am in a dream and it is ALL not true. I know we all our getting older and this is bound to happen but I just wish it was many years down the line. Now they only give him 6 Months. Well they are not God so we will see. Sh*t and more Sh*t!!!!
Keep up the Faith., I must Keep up the Faith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
