Can't get a break...

On the first day of physical therapy rehab, Mom was doing well. Tired, but she seemed determined... I hope for her sake, not mine. As she was being helped up from the very last exercise, she had a seizure. Serious. She is now in ICU; they haven't been able to wake her. They allowed me to stay by her all night... I talked to her, read to her. I don't know how she keeps going.

This isn't the first time I've been told that she isn't expected to pull through. Hell, it's the third time this week. If will and determination could overcome, she would be up dancing right now.

Frail and tough at the same time.

Jim, hang in there. You know we are all with you in spirit. And she knows you are there.

Jim, our prayers, good thoughts, smiles, and tears are with you and your Mom. The ups and downs are tough to deal with but it must certainly be easier for her with you by her side.
