My family has a problem. They are chronic facebook status stalkers. They talk about mundane status updates that family members from far and away have, what they are doing, etc. Except tonight one was pretty darn important. My second cousin, from Arizona, said that her grandmother (my mom's aunt) was in the ICU. This is my mom's last link to her mother. Needless to say she's pretty much a wreck (she's already been pretty depressed an anxious since my little sister moved away to Kansas) and I'm working up to it.
After a few frantic text messages and voice mails we found out my mom's aunt is in stable but serious condition. She's in her mid to late 70s and has pneumonia, had a series of seizures which caused her to stop breathing. Through that trauma she's got stuff in her lungs and is not breathing on her own. No news yet on the stroke front, they did an EEG on her (no results yet), but they cannot do an MRI on her until she is breathing on her own to see if she had a stroke. The hospital officials also asked if she had a living will..which is also not good.
We're hoping for the best, we all know that sleeping tonight is going to be pretty hard and were not planning on making a trip to Arizona based on these circumstances anytime soon.
So, I know we have a lot of these threads, and I'm always one to say a quick prayers for those who ask for them. I've been pretty lucky and think I've only asked for prayers regarding animals and jobs. If y'all could say one of those quick prayers, send some good thoughts our way, or just not be so mean to me for a bit that would be great. And if you can fins me some cinnamon swirl eggos I'll pay you five bucks. It would make me feel better right about now.
Thanks :)
