My Mom's in very serious danger - please pray for her
 

My Mom has to have emergency brain surgery tonight - she is in very serious danger. Please pray hard for her tonight. She needs angels watching over her right now.

I'll be praying for you and your mum tonight :xoxo:

I will send good thoughts your mom's way tonight.

My thoughts are with you and your mother. I know she has been struggling for some time now.

I hope everything goes well for your mother.
She is being watched over as we speak :)

Sending your family my thoughts....Hang in there.

Thank you very much everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Please continue to pray very hard for her. The doctors feel that she's dying right now. We visted from 11 to 1 Eastern and when we were leaving her heart rate had climbed all the way up to 160 beats per minute and her blood pressure then became very high. Her kidneys aren't working the way they should be. If (and when, I hope) she makes it to Monday, they're planning to do a test to establish whether or not she meets the criteria for brain death.

This has officially become a dire situation. Please pray very hard for her over the next few days. They say that medical Miracles happen every day.

My own mother recently survived being in critical condition (ICU for 8 days- and then in a regular room for almost 3 weeks)- septic shock, kidney failure and a white blood cell count of 26,000+. She's now recovering in a skilled nursing home until she's strong enough to come home. The doctors were in absolute shock that she survived. Miracles *do* happen. Stay strong and keep praying.

Oh man...I am so sorry. I am praying hard for your mother...I really, really hope she makes it through this. Medical miracles *definitely* happen, and I hope so much she is one of them.

Hang in there...you and your family are in many peoples' thoughts.

I am praying so hard for you right now. I lost my mom a few months ago, and I have never experienced so many loved ones having health problems before.

I listen to this song almost every morning.....

And when she walked in the room
After so many years,
He looked up and saw her
He was standing at the crossroads
She was moving in slow motion
Everything was the same,
Except that everything was different

In that very moment, everyone was silent
And everyone was friendly,
For the first time in years,
Everyone was smiling
Though their pain was apparent
and the floor was wet and slippery
With the tracks of their tears

And then I see someone standing
At the side of the stage
Not standing in the shadows
I see her face
Glowing in the darkness
In her own angel way
"I have come to make you better,
I have come to take you away."

No one slipped and fell
This time, everyone was steady
Someone held my arm so that
I would not fall
For the first time, in a long time
Everyone was ready
No one said a word
And that simply said it all

And then I see someone standing
At the side of the stage
Not standing in the shadows
I see her face
Glowing in the darkness
In her own angel way
"I have come to make you better,
I have come...to take you away."
I’ll make you better

Walking through the room together
In suspended animation...
No one saw us go... no one said goodbye
But in my heart, I leave
Great expectations
That you will find the answers
to your questions
And that life will once more...
be a celebration...
and that you will be touched by an Angel
and that you will be touched by an Angel
and that you will be touched by an Angel

Celebration
Someday
Someday, Someday
Celebration

Love to you, your mother, and your family.

My thoughts are with you and your Mom at this difficult time. :angel:

Any news sweetie? I'm still praying for you.

I am so sorry about this...I will be praying for your mom. Yes, miracles DO happen, my great aunt survived a brain anurisum (sp?) many years ago.

If only...
 

the same would have happened for me, I would have been joyful....But of course most Ledgies remember March 2005 for me.

Still sending you my thoughts...

Thinking of you and your mom.

Thank you very much everyone for your thoughts and prayers.


My Mom died on Monday.

No one is quite sure yet exactly what happened, but there's going to be an investigation. Something happened to cause her brain to become very swollen. When that happened, there was pressure on her lower brain, which controls things like heart rate, consciousness, breathing etc. In someone who had already had a bad stroke, it was just too much.

We think she might have had at least one "low oxygen event" which may have caused her brain to swell. There was at least one time that we walked into her room and several of the red warning lights were on, on the respirator. We've noticed a tendency all along for the nurses and other medical personnel to not pay enough attention to respiratory issues. In fact, at Stony Brook University Hospital, on a past visit, they didn't think it was necessary to have her on an oxygen monitor at all. ( I've heard NOTHING but bad things about Stony Brook Hospital, and that was our experience too. )

Anyway I guess in a way all that's for later. The lawyers are going to have to sort it out.

I don't know what else to say right now. Right now I'd just like to thank everyone again for their thoughts and prayers.

The only thing I can say to you is that I lost an Aunt who was VERY dear to me 4 years ago and I still havent gotten over it. I dont know if that helps but at least know that I can somewhat understand what youre going trhu. My prayers are with you.:angel:

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Ghosttracker. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.

Lee :(

I'm so sorry for your loss. :distress: I can't imagine...

I am so sorry for your loss.

WOw - I just saw this thread. {{{HUGS}}}

I'm very sorry.
My sincerest condolences to you.

i am sooooo sorry to hear about your mother~
my thoughts & prayers go out to you~
god bless~

Ghosty, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My thoughts are certainly with you all.

What an emotional earthquake, where the ground under your feet changes and you can't stop it, nor can you repair it.

They say time heals all wounds but it takes a lot of time. My mom died when I was 20 (I am now 54.)

I will light an candle for you and your mom.

Please let us know how you're doing. Lots of people will be thinking of you.

Heartfelt condolences from me as well. I know how hard this has been for you and your family and how dear your mother is to you. You will be in my thoughts.

I am so sorry.:distress: You and your family are in my prayers.:angel:

Oh no...oh you poor poor thing. I have been checking often to see any updates from you....this was not what I--or anyone--was hoping to hear, of course.

I am so very sorry...I cannot even imagine. I understand as well the added pain of it being something that was possibly the responsibility of the hospital...when my grandfather died, it was largely because of improper care in the hospital. It's just an added jolt at an already difficult time, and it's truly awful.

Hang in there....you and your family are in my prayers.

Aww man...
 

sending you my condolences and a hug...Been through the same as you (Also happened on a Monday due in part to medical incompetence and a FDA Class A recall the medical staff was not aware of...But I am sure they WILL be very soon!!!!) just hang in there and be around family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you. :distress:

I know firsthand how it feels to lose your mom .May you have peace and comfort in your grief.

So so sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers

i am sorry about your loss. you will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry baby. i know where you are and am with you in your grief. know that your mom is always with you and will be helping you out a lot- i know my mom is scheming with God to work something out for me when I hear Gypsy on the radio! I miss her so much, but she is still very much with me.

Still praying that you will be touched by an angel....

OHH Ghost Tracker I am sorry, for your loss, and you have been in my prayers. Just know that we are all here for you, we are not only a blog here, but a family. I hope our lives cross paths onhere either in a forum, or on a forthcoming tour. i am going to write a song for you, and this is important becuase I have been in a dry spell......perhaps this song was meant to be very special. hang in there

I'm so sorry for your loss, you remain in my thoughts and prayers. :angel:

oh Ghost..I am soo sorry to hear about your loss, I couldn't image loosing my mom, and I know how hard this must be for you. :(

Just try to remember the good times with her, and I hope that you will feel better in time.
My thoughts are with you.

thank you
 

I just wanted to say thank you very much for everyone's kind thoughts and prayers. We're having the wake tomorrow and Friday, and then the funeral will be Saturday. Her family is coming down from Upstate New York and my Dad's sister and her husband are flying in from California, and my best friend is coming to the funeral and at least one of the wakes, so that will be helpful.

My Dad's keeping busy - still going to work and everything. I kinda wonder if maybe he's keeping a little too busy, if 'ya see what I mean.

Anyway, thank you very much everyone.
