I just ran into my step-dad at the video store and he said that my mom is in the hospital. They say that she will have to be in there for at least 5 days, maybe longer...who knows?! It was weird because as we were making our way to the video store I just had this feeling that he was going to be there.
She has an enlarged heart, water in the lungs, she's on oxygen and has blood clots in her heart. They are giving her some sort of med that she is going to have to inject herself, in her leg, to thin the blood.
My step-dad started to cry and walked away. I stopped him, told him I needed a hug and gave him one because I know he won't ask for one. Plus, I have never seen him cry before and I just wanted him to know I was there for him. I told him that I love him and I will try to come by this weekend if he wants to watch movies or do something.
I have to get with my sister and we are both going to go up there. I guess my worst fear happened. I knew something was wrong yesterday when no one answered the phone at my mom's house.
I am very worried that she won't be coming home. Please send good thoughts her way. I just want her to go peacefully if she is ready.
I don't know how much I will be on this weekend as I am going to spend as much time as I can at the hospital with mom.
