My momma made it! She is a alive and well, the doctors expected her to die four separate times. But everytime there was a blessing or a prayer there was an improvement that gave us hope. I asked her if she could hear us while she was in a coma, she said she could but that sometimes it was fuzzy sounding. But if you've ever seen anyone in a coma, they look dead. So it got harder and harder to talk to someone who wasn't waking up, like you were telling them to. :) My sister, Monica and I had flown in on the same day, Wednesday morning five minutes apart and had to leave the next Tuesday. After one of our five minute visits with our mom while she was still so swollen and in a coma, we came out and passed by the nurses station where one of mom's awesome nurses, Melanie, was working. We asked her a medical question and then Monica started crying and said "I can't leave with her looking like this, I have to leave on Tuesday and she can not look like this!" I told Melanie to put it on her list of things to get done by Tuesday....and it happened. Mom was awake by Friday. My sister Alexis and I got to help with her bath and gave her a pedicure the night before Monica and I left. Mom got to talk to us and lecture us before we left and EVERYTHING. But she is now out of the ICU and into her own room in the hospital, she is improving every day. Having this experience has reminded me how many people love her, and us and how many friends she had and how many people she has influenced. It also made ALL of us realize that she is the glue that holds us together. Without her, it just wouldn't work. Thank you guys for your comments and prayers too! I love you all-- you're awesome friends and I wish that I was better at telling you how much I appreciate you. I truly do! Thanks for everything!
