This and That – Please pray for Mom!

Please pray for my mother. I awoke to find her on the floor in a pool of blood. She hit her head. The ambulance is here now, and we’re on our way to Memorial. Please pray…

Update on Mom – – She’s in ICU at Memorial. She has a small intracranial hemorrhage from her fall. The doctors monitor it each hour to ensure it doesn’t enlarge. She is awake but in and out of sleep. Please continue to pray. I’m home for a little nap and then back to the hospital around 3:00. Thank you for your kind words and prayers. They are indeed needed at this point. Big hug to each of you…

Evening update on Mom. She’s out of ICU and in her own room. The brain scans indicated the hemorrhage has dissipated, which is good. She was very agitated and babbled a lot, which she does when she has a spell, as I call it. They gave her a dose of Ativan, and she’s out like a light. Every hour, though, they have to wake her to check her neurological signs. I’ll spend the night at the hospital, and hopefully, she’ll get to come home tomorrow. She looks awful, bless her heart, with her right eye swollen almost shut, an inch-long gash on the cheekbone where she hit whatever she hit, and is black and blue. She can see in her good eye, which is the one that’s swollen shut. Again, thank each of you for your kind thoughts, words of encouragement, and payers! Please know this: We’ve felt them! Well, let me dash. Take care, and thank you again! Andy
