Mom?
I want to call out her name and have her answer back. But I can’t do that because everything is different today. My mom suffered a grade V intracerebral aneurysm yesterday afternoon. My dad found her unconscious on the bathroom floor. She underwent surgery last night and is currently in critical condition in ICU. She made it through the night. So did my dad. So did the rest of my family. My mom is a tough old bird and she’s already responding to some external stimulation. I can’t help but take that as a positive sign. The next two days will be more telling. Our hopes and prayers are getting us through this one hour at a time. That’s all we can do right now, because now everything is different.
