So if none of this makes sense, you'll know why. We, our entire family have been spending day and night at the ICU waiting room.
My mom, the crazy woman that I sometimes write about here is very sick. For the last couple of weeks she had been sick off and on.
Last week I took her to the ER, then she was sent over to the hospital where surgery was done at 12:51am. What they found was a tumor that had been causing blockage in her intestines.
Early Monday morning of this week to many things came together to cause trouble for mom.
1) ARDS Adult Respiratory Disorder Syndrome
2)Sepsis-Sepsis is a serious medical condition characterized by a whole-body inflammatory state (called a systemic inflammatory response syndrome or SIRS) caused by infection.[1][2] The body may develop this inflammatory response to microbes or their toxins in the blood or tissues. The related layman's term is blood poisoning.
3)The tumor they found is cancerous. Don't ask me what kind, all I know its a very rapid cancer.
Even if Mom were to get through the ARDS the Onocologist only gave her 6 months.
In other words...Mom needs a miracle.
I know without a shadow of a doubt that God can deliver her from ALL of this. I am praying that it is His will is to do that, but I don't know his will. I also know that you can't make deals with God. But your mind always goes in that direction.
All of this hasn't just affected me. Mom has many cousins who have sat with us in the waiting room, helped out by staying the night so that we could go home and get some sleep, brought food, snacks, candy or whatever we needed or wanted. For that, we will be forever grateful!
This is the first time that my sisters and I have actually been together in the same vicinity since our big blow up. So far one of them will not look me in the eye. I am trying to show her the love of God and I believe she may have seen that when our church family came up there and stayed until 3:30-4:00am in the morning with us.
I pray that God will heal Mom and somehow use this to bring our family closer together. Because if Mom leaves us then all we have is each other.

I told Phil today that I feel like I need to still be in Athens, my heart is there, but I know there are things here that I need to take care of also.
Just know that I am a phone call away and will be there in a flash if you need me.
Dreama, you know we all love you
and your family!! Your mom has always been very special to us.
Whatever god's will is, you know it will be for the grace of God!!!
I know we as humans want our family members, especially our moms, to stay here with us forever. It was hard for me to let go of my brother, actually I still don't think i will ever let him go completly, LOL!! I am praying for Phyllis every day. "Lord take this cancer from Phyllis and heal her body, lord be with her family as they wait patiently for you will" Amen!!!
We Love you girl!!!!
