*Praise GOD*
So, I called my Dad a little while ago to check and see how Momma was doing (because they just moved her to a regular room from ICU). Well, Dad told me that he had just got off the phone with her and for me to call her.
I was very nervous about talking to her because I wasn't sure what state of mind she would be in, but I called.
I haven't stopped crying since I made that call almost 45 minutes ago.
Mom answered the phone on the first ring, with a very clear, coherent voice. I asked how she was and she said "Tired. Wrung out. But, okay. I'm still hurting, but I'm okay."
She doesn't remember anything from the past two weeks. She can remember small facts-like she remembers me being at the hospital and she remembers that Dad has to wear a leg immobilizer for his knee...but she doesn't remember any hard facts. She has no idea what she has been through.
She told me that she had promised me she wouldn't leave me, and she didn't.
She's upset now that she knows what's wrong with her. She can't understand where the bacterial infection came from. She's upset because she has a colostomy bag and because she knows she'll have to go through surgery again (an inevitably be in ICU again in a couple weeks for a day or so), but she's coherent and she understands.
And she sounds and talks like my Mommy.
You have no idea how I am feeling right now. I seriously can't stop crying. God is an AWESOME GOD! I stand firmly to the fact that she is still alive and she's kicking this solely due to the fact that so many prayers went up and because my Mom is so strong. PRAISE GOD for this.
The prayers aren't stopping, though. She's got a hard road ahead of her....a lot of rehabilitation, physically and mentally. But I truly believe she'll make it.
I love my Mom so much.....
Please continue to pray and think good thoughts. Thank you so much for what you've already done!
PRAISE GOD!!!!!!
