Update
by Kym on June 23, 2007
I’m down in Vancouver and I’ve just arrived at my parent’s house after spending several hours at the hospital. They’re running tests, they’re waiting for the sedatives to leave her system so she’ll wake up (she’s yet to return to consciousness since passing out yesterday afternoon). Waiting, waiting, and waiting. There’s going to be a lot of that, it looks like.
It was so hard seeing her with all the tubes in her, and hooked up to a machine helping her breathe, and feeling how hot her skin is as her body battles whatever it’s been infected with. My heart is so full of feeling, and my mind so full of thoughts, that I feel I’m about to spill all over the place. But I’m too worn out to do it here, in words. I imagine there will be many blog posts to come inspired by the lessons I’ve learned during this past twenty-four hours.
Thank you for all your prayers. Mom doesn’t seem to be in imediate danger, but there may be a long, slow recovery ahead of us. Please, please keep her in your prayers.
Much love,
Kim

Oh Kim…I’ve been checking and checking to see if there was an update. I’m glad to hear that her condition hasn’t worsened since yesterday. I hope she wakes up soon and asks what all the hubbub is about.
My thoughts are with you and your family…
Hugs from Ottawa

Oh sweetie . . . my heart is breaking for you . . . I’ve been there . . . and because I’ve been there . . . I so wish I could be THERE and hold your hand through this . . . it’s so hard watching your mother like that and feeling so helpless to do anything . . .
*HUGS* *THOUGHTS* *PRAYERS* *LOVE*

Hope everything’s okay. Beyond that, I hope everyone’s okay, and that this illness is treatable with a short recuperation time.

I’ll be praying. Oy! How I wish it was something happier that brought you to our neck of the woods. Please keep us posted, and please feel free to send me an email or call if you would like. It doesn’t sound like I’m more than an hour away, which is nothing between blogging buddies.

I’m sorry I’m just now seeing all this about your mom. How very, very scary! My heart is just aching for you. I hope you can have good news about it all soon; the prolonged worry must be so draining — and knowing that you have a long road to go must also be difficult.
Praying for you and for your mom. :hugs:

Hang in there. I put your Mom on the prayer roll at the temple in Portland when I was there Friday night. I hope she recovers quickly.
