Paevey noted in his IG Stories he takes his mom out for walks, and they both “annoy” the heck out of each other. He also shared that their roles have been reversed, and he now needs to encourage his mother to eat.
In addition, he added that he’s done a lot of research about cancer and different treatments. It’s clear he wants to make sure he does everything he can to help her.
The former actor moved from LA to San Diego to care for her, stating, “My mom’s been a smoker my whole life. I knew something was coming. So, yeah, I mean my journey down here to San Diego, [when] I left Los Angeles, began a few years ago.”
He added, his mom would “never go to a doctor,” and “I knew something was wrong. Anytime you hug someone you hear the way they breathe?”
He went on to describe her breathing, which was “like chain link fence on a gravel parking lot.”
Our hearts go out to Ryan Paevey and his mom during this difficult time. She’s lucky to have her son by her side.
