Thanks all for the support...my mom is not doing any better, last night was tough. Apparently the disc is making being bedridden mauch worse. The proceedure they did this A.M. did not help any either. I have been on the phone w/AA as we had a worldwide ticket that expires today (don't ask...DH is the reason it had not been put to use

) anyway...they will not extend it or apply it to me making a new flight

It was not earned on FF miles, it was a bonus ticket for overseas travel DH did, and had a 6 month time frame. My kids are on break and I was even gonna grab them and take them with, but it is getting complicated. DH can't take any time off his slave job as usual, and actually has his hands full between interviewing for a new job in Cincinnati(that was also going on yesterday) and heading to SC for current job. My mom is jsut so sad and in pain...I can only talk with her briefly as she has a tube in her nose and it makes it difficult for her to swallow, talk etc., plus she is so hungry...My oldest brother lives in Fl and he is going to drive down to the hospital today, I hope that helps her a little.I feel like I do not know which way to turn...deal w/mom, kids who are bored as all their friends are away, DH job/possible relo, in-laws who keep calling to tell us SIL is coming in from CA for Easter(you'd think SHE was the resurection) and we need to contribute $200 for airfare to "help them out"

If I am paying for ANY airfare it is to get to my mom! Sorry to vent...just really stressed, worried and upset. Well, off to try the airlines again...you'd think my MIL would agree to watching my kids...she has other SIL dog this week while they cruise the Bahamas...so she can't take my kids as well

actually, I feel sorry fo rthe dog, and my kids are better off. I will keep you posted on my mom, thanks again for the prayers and well wishes, I know they are helping.
