Yesterday was not easy. We made it down to Denver by about 11 am and headed to the airport to pick up Robi. After a quick burger, we headed to Mom’s to wait for her to arrive home from the hospital. Soon we received word she was on the way. I’m glad only Tom, Robi, Lori, Ali and I were there as it was not an easy sight to see. Mom’s not doing well but then she’s been through a lot.
We got her in the house and in her own bed and the girls were a great comfort for her. She’s pretty frail and you can tell in some pain but still really pretty and still Mom. It’s sad to see her this way and not easy for any of us but we are all happy she’s in her own home. It’s hard to tell, for me anyhow, if she can rally or not or if she’s close to meeting up with dad and God. I’ve been praying for her non stop and didn’t sleep much and I’m sure Tom and Robi didn’t either. She has her moments when she talks clearly to us like when she told us to tell Jagger and Ty, Grandma loves them.
We went home around 6 and are up now at 5 and will head down to Denver soon. Lori and I will stay the day and spend the night and Auntie Dee and cousin Christine arrive tomorrow. Robin stayed at Tom’s last night and we’re glad she did as it’s rough to just hang out at the house. It just wears you down.
Mom did eat some more food last night and James is making her scrambled eggs right now at 6:30. We’ll get some baby food today as that’s soft and easy to eat. The RN from the hospital comes today to check her out and I think PT (physical therapy) people come too but I don’t know if she’s in any shape for PT. Lori did move her arms and legs yesterday as she has been cramping from 20 days in a hospital bed. I know Mom knows we’re there as she told me thanks for being there and bye last night when we left for home. Her head is there it’s just her body that’s weak. We’re praying her body gets stronger.
I don’t talk or write much about religion or God. Perhaps I should more, ha. In any case, I’ve grown closer to God over the past decade or so and have talked with Mom about this and she, even though like me, keeps a lot to herself, is religious in her own way. So, let’s all pray that Mom is at peace and can rest assured that God and other loved ones are waiting for her whenever her time comes. I 100% believe that there is more to life and that God will be there to comfort her and protect her in her time of need. So please God, watch over Mom in her time of need and let her know that you are there for her as she knows you are.
We’ll keep you posted as to how she’s doing and talk to you tomorrow, God Bless everyone and especially God Bless my Mom.
