Mom

Last night Hubby and I were watching an episode of Monk when my phone rang.  It was my sister. I had an awful feeling what she was going to say. 

Our mom had a stroke.

Mom has been having problems with her heart not being in the correct rhythm for the last month or so.  Thursday she was to have a procedure that would shock her heart back into correct rhythm. An ultrasound of her heart was done in preparation for the procedure and a blood clot was found in her heart. So they canceled the procedure to be done at a later  time after a blood thinner had time to work.  Last night at 6:25 my dad says Mom just stopped being responsive. He called 911.

Hubby and I threw stuff in suitcases and started the three hour drive to where my parents live. We were in the ICU by 11:30.
Mom smiled when we came into the room. Just half a smile though because the right side of her face is droopy. She has no speech, but was able to lift her left leg a bit.

We sat with her for a few hours. Now I am supposed to be sleeping but am finding it difficult to relax.

So blogging it is.

A couple of my memory verses are rolling through my head:

Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Isaiah 41:13
For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you,  Do not fear; I will help you.

Hanging on to His hand.
