My Mom almost died

Jan 08, 2007 19:58

she had a siezure at work out of the blue...she had never had one before. She had called my dad, and he works in the office right next door, and said that she felt weird, then stuttered and made a weird noice on the phone, then my dad rushed over to her office and found her shaking and her eyes were rolled up in her head. He put her on the floor and her face was beginning to turn blue because she was biting her tongue and clamping her mouth shut. Luckily he found her on time, or I don't know if she would have made it. I happened to be heading to the emergency room to deliver linen when my dad called me and told me she was there in emergency, and I went and visited her. i never felt so scared in my whole life. At first she didn't remember where she was or barely anything, and it took her several hours do start regaining some memory. They are doing tests on her overnight to see what the causes of the seizure might be. If she would have died, I think my world would have just stopped and crumbled. I doubt I would have been able to handle living anymore. I love her too much, and it would be unimaginable for her to die today. And out of nowhere...it makes you realize how fragile and chaotic life is. At any moment for no reason at all a person you cherish can just die, and then be gone forever. Gone like they were nothing. There's nothing so saddening to me, or horrible as my mom, dad, or my brother were to die...which they will someday, but I don't know how I will be able to cope. I can't imagine life without them. I love them too much, I would do anything to keep them immortal forever. I stayed by her side from 11am to 7pm, but since I will be going to work tomorrow, I figured I better go home and get sleep. My dad refuses to leave her, and is staying the night. It looks like she will probably be okay, but the full results come back tomorrow.
