eye burnage
i'd like to thank everyone for your kind thoughts and words. apparently they're helping out just enough for my mother to stay alive a little longer. i'd like to thank nelle for sleeping over at the hospital and putting up with my mini temper tantrum yesterday, i'm very embarassed and sorry dear.
i'd like to thank everyone who came to the mach graduation. i want to thank the nurses and dr. jaga for doing all that they can to make my mother comfortable and content.
i want to thank the pastor for seeing our family and for being open and willing about doing her funeral services when the time comes.
i'm very thankful to my family and my friends for being there for us whether it be near or far.
so monday night was rough because of the bleeding and the drastic drop of the blood pressure. tuesday throughout the day she was fine. she was sleeping, drinking fluids and talking for a little bit to everyone. 4:30 pm rolls around and it's time for me to meet my principal and vice principal (spelling?) down in the lobby. i waited there until around 5pm when my uncle comes downstairs and says "you should go be with your mother, i'll wait down here for them." so i ran upstairs, i get in the room, and mom honestly looked dead. my aunts were crying, my dad was holding my mother close, so i hopped into bed and held her until it was time for the graduation ceremony. my mother didn't open her eyes when we were comforting her, she was struggling to breath, there was a wet clothe on her head and a fan going, the nurses couldn't get a reading for her blood pressure and they could barely get a pulse. in that very short hour from 4:30 to 5:30 around 30 people showed up in quite a hurry just to say goodbye to my mother and to tell her how much they loved her. they stayed to see my graduation along with the nurses.
principal and vice principal get into the room with the stuff at 5:30, i go out into the hall to put on my gown and cap. the nurses were doing everything they could to dress me quickly, i was crying like there was no tomorrow. you have to understand the only thing my mother wanted was to see me graduate. that was her last wish. so to have it come true and not have her awake enough to see it was breaking my heart. they played the music, i walked in dressed in white, and my father said to her "the graduation's starting." she sat right up, eyes wide open, it was the freakiest thing i've ever seen. my mother went from death's doorstep to her usual self in a matter of seconds. i get my diploma, my mother took a good look at it, and then layed back down. she made it through the night. then next morning she was having a conversation with my aunts.
talk about emotional distress and confusion. close calls aren't good for the soul.
yesterday she was perfectly fine, her blood pressure came up and it's the best it's been in a long time: 92/47. ( i know most of you are going that's not good, but it's better than no reading at all. imagine how low it had to be for that to happen.) last night she was fine, and this morning she was wide awake. i'll be leaving again shortly to spend another day with her.
thank you everyone. your thoughts, prayers, hopes, and wishes are helping out quite a bit. none of us have thrown in the towel yet, especially my mother.
