This is not about my mother I just wanted to get this out to you all on my subscription list. Michael, Elizabeth is in Nashville. Can you give her a call? Thank you for all your prayers for Elizabeth and her mother today.
Here I sit, in Nashville with my Mother. She was brought to the hospital by ambulance early Sunday morning. She had been sick all night and it just wouldn't stop. So, she called 911, thankfully, and here we sit!
I miss my Dad so much right now. We lost him in April 2007. He was always the healthy one but did not survive a simple surgery. We were all in shock, but no one more so than my Mother. They were best friends, and he took care of her. My Mother has been hospitalized more times than I can remember, with one thing or another. We have almost lost her twice. The woman is a walking scar, from all of the surgeries she has been through. Heart, hip, stomach, just to name a few. My Father would sit with her and hold her hand and rub her head, endlessly. He loved her so much. She loved him so much. I love them both.
It has been over a year since his passing. I thought I was getting better with it. When I pulled into the hospital (the same one where we lost him), I ran through the halls to get to my mothers room...it hit me like a ton of bricks. He isn't here for her, to hold her hand and make her feel better. He was such a special man and I miss him so much. I know my Mother is missing him, more than I could ever imagine. They were best friends. He took such good care of her and she of him. Special, really. I put together a very short slide show, from pictures I found on my laptop while sitting here. I would take my parents each year to the beach, which they dearly loved. I think my favorite picture is the one of my parents, with my daughter in between, laying in bed, watching cartoons of all things. My fathers favorite, lol.
The surgeon just informed me that they have tentatively scheduled my Mother for surgery in the morning. They said the risk is very high. She has a twisted intestine, with 2 hernias sitting on the intestine. Her blood pressure is not cooperating! It has been 190 to 210 all day long, with brief reprieves to the 170's. Then, back up!
If you would, could you please say an extra prayer for my Mother? I'd really appreciate it. I'll try to check in tomorrow to update everyone. The Internet connections have much to be desired, but will do my best. Thank you all for your prayers, in advance. It will mean the world to me.

thanks Michael. I am not sure if she has other family there but it would be great to know someone from the AR family is closeby.
Paddy - Elizabeth and her mother are in my prayers for a successful surgery and recovery and for peace on the passing of her father. Thanks for sharing.
Elizabeth, I will keep you and your mother in my thoughts today. You can bet that your father is watching over both of you today.
Good Morning Paddy, I saw Elizabeths post last night - very nice of you to pass it on. They are in my thoughts and prayers.
Elizabeth - you are definitely in my thoughts. What a wonderful tribute to your parents. We are all here hoping that your mom will be just fine, sounds like she is a very strong woman.

Thank you Jane from myself and for Michael who I am proud to know myself! Your prayers will be appreciated by Elizabeth I am sure.
Paddy - Lifting up a prayer. Thanks for sharing.. It's always tough when it's mamas involved!
I saw this in Jason's blog, and I'm glad you are getting the word out also. I'm praying for them. GBU!
Paddy, My prayers are definitely with you and your mom. I lost my mom first in '99 then my dad in "04 and it seems like it was this morning. So I can understand exactly how you feel. Know that you are not alone and prayer is the one most powerful things there is!
Paddy, I was very saddened to read this....Of course I will send prayers and blessings.
Paddy, I am so sad to hear that your mom is sick. Of course she (and you and your family) will be in our thoughts. Thank you for sharing the slide show!
Thanks Lindsey
I know it will help Elizabeth.
Tanya It is not my mother. I lost her in January of this year. I just wanted to forward Elizabeth's Blog.
Thank you Carole
Cristal please send those prayers and good thoughts to help Elizabeth. Thanks
Spoke with Elizabeth yesterday. She was posting with us as she sat at her mother's bedside in the hospital. No surgery as of yet, her blood pressure is too high but there was signs of hope. We all know prayer is the answer, so please continue to pray for her Mom.
Elizabeth herself is a strong woman and is taking care of her Mom on her own, due to the fact, her sister can't fly and her brother got ill. Let's not forget her in our prayers as well.
She is a fantastic person and a great friend. Active Rain doesn't just bring information to our lives, it brought me friendship from some fabulous woman on this community.
Thanks for the update Nancy. I will bop by her blog to say we are thinking of her again today.
Paddy - Sorry for the mix up. Sorry to hear that you lost your mom. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
That's ok Tanya. Sent you an email. Have a great Thursday.
