I just want you to know I'm keeping your Mom in my prayers. I know what your going through. Boston has such wonderful hospitals. I drove from the Cape everyday to visit my Mom in
B&W hospital for about a full year.
I just thought of this short story to tell you....
I waited around in the hospital so much I developed a love for sunflower seeds the kind with the shells on. They kept me busy while I was waiting to see her in intensive care (you can only visit short visits). Sometimes I was there for 8 hours and ate sunflower seeds in the waiting room about 6 of those hours. People used to just stare at me. I had a big pile of shells on a napkin, and I'm sure I had remnants of shells on my lips because the nurses used to have big smiles when they came to tell me I could go in to see her! Just thought I'd share my silliness with you, maybe make you smile while your going through this hard time.
She had three major surgeries and is doing just great now. I'm hoping the same for your Mom too...
Hugs to you and your family........
and don't eat too many sunflower seeds
Prayers have been said. Please keep us updated. It's very obvious that family is a big thing with you and Robin. I loved reading her posts and hearing her talk about how much her family means to her. Even though I'm sad that you are going through this, I'm glad that you and Robin have each other. Embrace that.
Just saw the thread and will assume Mom is in surgery now. I work in an OR myself (Nurse Anesthetist) and am at work now on my break after our first case. Extra prayers going up now for a smooth course and an optimal outcome.
My Mom went through gall bladder surgery & is now better. IT was tough in the beginning but they had very good surgeons who took care of her & did a great job on the follow up visits.
