Aka MY MOM

Now that I have time to absorb everything that happened in the past week; I am ready to blog about it. It's been a very stressful, traumatic, and quite scary week. The thought of losing a love one is terrifying!! My mother in law (aka my mom) was hospitalized last Sunday. She was having a hard time breathing which turn into much worse. Her body was slowly shut down. Like Rhonda said "It is a amazing what modern medicine and alot of prayer can do!" You name it she had it. Low blood pressure, very high blood sugar, heart failure, lung failure, pneumonia . You think to yourself and to the Lord, as selfish as this my sound, I'm not ready to lose her yet! The family isn't ready to lose her yet. It's not time for her to go home to heaven.

We got to the hospital on Sunday night at 11:30am sitting in the emergency waiting room (woohoo). I'm thinking to myself we have been here way to much the past couple of months! As the doctors were doing their miracle work, there we sat waiting to hear something. It's was 3:30am when I went home to catch some sleep; leaving my husband and his sister at the hospital. Then at 8:30am Rick calls with this small little boyish voice, normally he has a very strong confident voice, as he crying saying they had just kicked him and Rhonda out his mom's room in ICU. As he described what was going on; the only thing I could think of what should I say Lord to comfort him? I let him know I was on my way. And that I loved him more. I made arrangements with one of are friend to watch the kids. That morning Mom had a heart attack. After being under the care of Great doctors and nurses and the whole staff in ICU by Thursday she was finally moved to a regular room. As sad as this sounds to actually cheer that she is in a different room.

This Monday she was able to come home. Amazing. What a miracle this is. You know I was really thinking that they should really have some kind of manual on how to deal and coupe with situations like this. A manual for how to tell your kids that grandma might not make it. But, regardless I think Rick and I handled it quite well. Even though Rick gave me a little scare. We handle it the best we could at that given time.

I know some people do not get along with their mother in laws. Which I feel very sorry for them. I guess I am blessed to have such a loving, caring, big hearted, love her to death mother in law ( aka my mom). I hope this is a eye opener to her how much she is loved. I hope this is also an eye opener to love herself, and start being selfish, and take care of herself. Make herself be number 1 (well next to God of course) :) Love Ya, Mom.
