scare

Jul 7, 2008 | Life in Progress

i received a call from my stepdad today. “i had to take your mom to the hospital this morning.” and my heart paused with disbelief. i was alone in the kitchen, fear muting my words.
.
.
.
for the first time in her life, my mom was sent to emergency room by paramedics this morning. she spent the entire day getting IVs, tests, and more tests. eventually, she was sent home without any conclusive diagnosis, and the waters are still muddy. i know she is frightened and quite worried. and to be honest i’m very, very concerned and walking the very fine line of panic. my heart breaks that she is 3000 miles away and that i’m not with her at this very moment. if you don’t mind, could you please send a wish/prayer/love/whatever you want to call it in the direction of my dear mom? i would really, really, from the depths of my heart and soul, appreciate it…..more soon.

Sending much love,

    Hi Kelly,
    I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I have way more experience in hospitals of late then I care to acknowledge so I get the frustration of not knowing and the pain of hurry up and wait. I am thinking of you, I am thinking of your mom, I lift you both up, may you find extra hearts in the world as signs from the universe that she will be ok, you will be ok, it is all ok! My very best,
    LACY

    Kelly, I’m new to reading your blog but I’ve read almost the WHOLE thing in the past few days and the postive and loving relationship that you have with your mom is seen in how you talk about her, and your pictures. I will hold her in my prayers.

    I know what it is like to be away from a family member during a health crisis. My heart goes out to you.

    I will say a prayer that she receives all the care she needs from skilled and loving hands and that she recovers quickly.

    I am also saying a prayer for you and your family during this stressful time.

    Hugs…

    “fun” was not the correct word to use. Relief should be substituted.
    Fun is when it all works out and everyone is happy. Relief is when not matter what, we’re glad we took the action.

    If that little nagging voice says, Buy a plane ticket and go…heed the words and take the action.
    It’s always fun to look back and say, I’m glad I did that.

    dear miss kelly rae,
    yes, i promise to pray for you and your mom and your family. i have tears as i write this, thinking about how frightened you must be. the God Who made you and your mom–He hems you in behind and before. He is ever-present and on the job of caring for you and for her all at once. He knows exactly what the deal is, and i pray that He will reveal it to the doctors, give them wisdom to care for her, and that He will give you peace beyond understanding.
