Hey everyone.

Well we’ve had another setback.  Mom came home Wednesday and we sat out on the deck for about 2 hours.  Mom ate a great dinner as well as two eggs yesterday morning.  Unfortunately she became disoriented around 11 a.m. and eventually unresponsive.  We had to call 911 and Mom was taken in a fire truck to Northside and Mandy rode in the truck with her.  Dad and Melissa followed right after.  She was taken to the ER and had a CT scan as well as other tests as there was fear of a stroke.  The CT scan came back okay which means there was no brain damage.  She has a normal heart beat and her lungs sound good.  Mom was moved back to the Women’s Center where Melissa, Dad, and Kay met her.  Amanda came back to the hospital and stayed the night holding Mom’s hand.  Before Melissa left, Mom squeezed both Amanda and Melissa’s hands.  She slept well through the night.  Melissa came back over this morning to stay with Mom.  Mom follows us with her eyes and we know that she knows we are there.  She started coughing and Melissa and Amanda could tell that she had a lot of mucus in her throat that she couldn’t clear.  We had a respiratory doctor come clear out her throat and now she is able to breathe better.  The doctors are not optimistic but we have hope.  We know she’s there.  If anyone can do this, Mom can.  Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and pray she pulls through this.  Easter is a time for miracles.  We love all of you.

Also, thanks everyone that came out for the blood drive last week.  It means the world to us- Anytime one gives blood it helps save a life.

Amanda and Melissa
