Well it has been 8 Days since my Mother in-law fell down the stairs. Her Right cheek bone is broke, Bruse on Right temperal lobe, & a slight seperation of the brain stem.
She is still in a coma & on a vent. They tried to take her off the vent today to shock her Brain in to waking up. & because she had started to panic & pant (kinda like a dog does) they stoped.My father in-Law has not left her side I finally got the hospital to let him take a shower & get him meal tickets.
So he would start to eat. She is kicking her feet so that is an Awsome sign. My Husband is not dealing with it very well & I understand that because She is my BEST FRIEND!!!! along with my MOM!! she has been there for me since I was 14 years old A LONG TIME!!! All my kids know is that there Mema is in the hospital & the Doc wont let her have a phone in the room because she needs to sleep my girls are use to talking to her daily sometimes 3-4 times a day. I just Pray that me not telling them was the right thing to do There Aunt my mother in-laws sister just died this last SEPT of Cancer, & the 2 oldest had a hard time with it due to they had talked to her 4 days before she died. & my girls thought they had to get to there Mema because they thought she was going next because she was older then her sister. Please let me know what you would do because I am so lost with out my MOM!! She would tell me how to handle this & all I can do Is cry tonight I am Scared.
For her,Dad, My brother in-laws,Husband,Kids, Neice & Nephew & ME TOO!!! I am The closes to her other then Dad.
Thanks gabulldogmom

sorry to hear you mom is not outof the coma yet!! but on the bright side it sounds like she has made some progress since i last talked to you. yyou all have been in my prayers ever since.
as far as your girls....i guess it really depends on their ages. if they were my children i think i would tell them mema fell down and got hurt and she really needs our prayers and have them make some pictures or drawings for her. i would not go into detail with them. i would get those pictures sent to your dad so he can take them into your mom and he needs to talk to her about how much the girls need her. i totally understand how you feel gabulldog....my mom is my best friend and my children especially my daughter is so very close to my mother and i would not know what to do either. just keep praying!! keep us posted, God Bless you and your family.

Hang in there. My cousin was in coma for almost 3 months and then one day, just came out of it. He needed to do rehab to get his limbs, etc. working again, but now he's o.k. This was over 20 years ago. You need to keep the faith. I know this is what she'd want you to do. Tears are o.k., they're a release. I know how hard this is on you and the rest of your family--you are all in my prayers.
