My Mom....

I have been so bad about journaling, it saddens me to think of the things that I am failing to write down. It hurts even more that I am only starting up again because of the things that has made me realize life is precious. Life can be pretty challenging sometimes. Right now I am sitting in the ICU with my mom. I flew up today because yesterday my mom was taken to the hospital. She is septic and is very sick. They say she has merca and the meds she is on are keeping her alive. Her blood pressure dropped super low and she was throwing up blood. Not exactly sure what happened, all we know is that she is sick. Aunt Patti called me while I was at work yesterday and I got the message as I was leaving. She said she wasn't sure if I needed to come cause mom said she wasn't going anywhere. Yet, at 1200 Aunt Patti called me to tell me that she thinks I better come up. Mom had said that this felt different and that I would be so mad if she died and I wasn't there. We bought the plane ticket at 1:00 in the morning. I was able to get a great deal because Robert is Military and the ticket was only 200 dollars. Robert is so cute though, cause he said it didn't matter how much it cost. My whole flight I prayed that I would make it...dreading getting here too late. When I got here, they were getting her ready for an MRI to make sure that she wasn't bleeding in her head and to check out the pain and redness on her left hip. When I walked in, she opened her eyes, smiled and said hi...then she went back to sleep. Her blood pressure was extremely low, but they were giving her medicine to raise it. When she came back from the MRI...she still slept. She is sleeping now...and seems to be doing okay. Her blood pressure is ok...and her pulse is a little high, but okay. I am going to stay here with her.
