12-4-2009 - Someone help my mom

My mood while writing this blog: Sad

---

Thursday afternoon I spoke to my mom for a few minutes. Promised I sent out ultrasound pics of my son. She was so excited. I asked her when she might get them. She said "Saturday". I was so excited. I let her off the line because my Auntie was coming to take her to go shopping for Easter dinner. She was having a different Auntie over because the other one was going to be with family. Easter is my mom's favorite hoilday in the whole world. How I wish I could have dinner with her and my auntie I thought. Well we had agreed to talk that night.

Said to myself my mom will be home soon enough, hopefully if she decides to come home. She has been out in Oregon for over a year now taking care of her parents. One died in August and one died last month. Well Thursday night I called and there was no answer so I just thought she was still shopping or out with the dog. I decided to go to bed because I was tired. Well. Friday came I called several several times. I got worried. My mom is sixty six. Thought nothing of it. Then while later I took a nap and go up. Called and yet no response. I spoke into the answering machine thinking the ringer might be off but she could still hear me. Well yesterday I called my auntie that took her shopping and asked if shed go over and check the phone for my mom. Just thinking that off the hook, hit the ringer some..Well my auntie never called back. Well called later saturday.. it rang went to voice mail. I thought okay I will call back. I did it was busy... Yippie. She got my call just didn't get to the phone in time. Well I called back it rang. It wasn't my mom who picked up though. It was my Auntie who was coming for easter dinner on Sunday. She asked me when I last spoke to my mom. I said Thursday. She said she called 911. My mom was laying on the floor unresponsive.

That night I got a call from Dr Allen, Ironic because my sons middle name is to be Allen. I chatted with her over the phone at the market which is 2000 miles away from my mom. She explained to me that my mom had a massive heart attack and stroke. She had been laying there since Thursday. I hurt so bad because I bet shes been helpless listening to every call come in from me. I wish I could of known she was in harms way. My brother and I are trying to fly home to be with my mom. The doctor said it would be good for her. She right now isn't able to speak or move her left side. I scared of losing my mom. My dad is already deceased and he died in 2001 from a massive heart attack at 60. I was only 25 years old. NOW Im 32 going to be a parent for the first time and can't lose my mom. She was so looking forward to being a NANA.

This is all I can do. I can't write anymore, I don't want to shed anymore tears. Im hurting. I'm trying not to be upset because its not good for the baby and I. I will pray. Take it day by day. I will try to remain strong.

04-14-2009***UPDATE*** my mom was able to sit up on the edge of the bed today with the aid of PT. Woot!! Keep up the good work mom. On a sad note I haven't been cleared by my OB to go but I don't want to have something bad happen to us. My mom would understand. Plus maybe crying by her might delay any progress that has happened or yet to happen.
