I hate 2007 & we are only 2 weeks in.
Everyone I have talked to has someone in there family or have a friend that is very sick or has been in a bad accident.
I wish we could skip this year or go back to last year, last year was not the best but it was so much better then this one!!!!
MY MOM is still in a coma! She opened her eyes yesterday for no more then 5 min. they tried taking her off the vent today & her blood pressure went threw the roof & heart rate went down to almost nothen. So they put a smaller vent in & told us tomorrow they are putting a trek in. My Dad has yet to leave the hospital (has been there for 2 weeks) & my mom's sister who is living with her may I add RENT FREE!!!! has been up to see her MAYBE 5 times in those two weeks she is a waiste of good Oxigen.
I have NO use for lazy people who take advantage of people who work so very hard for everything they have.
Please someone tell me that there year is going better!!!!!
Or at least pass along some wisdom that I can use this hurry up & wait game SUCKS!!!!

Sorry about your Mom.. sometimes life just sucks! I'm no expert but I have learned from living through illness and deaths of most of my family that even though it sounds trivial, the only thing that helps is time. Just try to survive til things get better and most importantly...YOU ARE ENTITLED TO FEEL ANYTHING YOU WANT! Be angry, be depressed, be sad... be whatever works for YOU! As far as your aunt is concerned..every family has its share of losers... if you figure out what can be done legally about them..let me know, I have some too! Best of luck to you and your family.

You are allowed to be angry and frustrated and sad. I think the fact that she opened her eyes is a start in the right direction. Please no matter what you might be feeling, keep the faith. Keep talking to her and take some pictures and remind her of better times. You have to keep trying, and I know she can hear you.

If you believe in God. (which you seem like you do) Remember: if there were no trials and tribulations there would be no victory. Your trials, and the way you handle them effect far more people than you know. Including your self. Keep the faith, and look to God for peace.

my mom passed away in 2006 at 83 years young. i observed many people do not possess the personality tools to handle sick people, dying people, people with handicapps, ect. they never experienced it and never learned it they just don't know. that doesn't make them bad so please cut your aunt some slack now is not the time to harbor anger toward a person who may not know how they should be behaving (or how you think they should be behaving) remember the golden rule especially now: do onto others as you would have them do onto you. also pray faithfully for your mom often and you'll have a greater prayer with a sincere heart, without bitterness. let go & let God.

BIGTED do you know Dr. BOB?
I am praying all the time. I have watched more people die in the last 5 years, Its not my MOM's time not yet God would not have let her live threw Katrina (she was right where the Eye came in, Waveland Miss) Then let this happen I know there is a reason for everything I just wish I knew what this plan is with Katrina we didnt know where she was for almost 5 day's this has been going on for over 2 weeks.

Well gabulldogmom,

I will pray for your family and for your mom. Being a nurse I can give advice for you. Until your mom comes out of the coma she will need the vent. becasue she cannot breath on her on at this time. All vital signs will go down until she is able to be awake and breath on her own.That is if they try to remove the vent. If they put a trach in, that is okay, because she will have a small hole in her neck, yet she will have survived this tradegy. If she is stable enough, then get her to a good facility that handles trach and vents. If you live in the area UHHS in chardon, on Lake Bass Road 440-285-4040 which use to be Heather Hill, area D handles nothing but trachs and vents. Very good nurses, respiratory and techs are very good. Mike Baxter is the nurse manager in the area and he is very good. they also have a CCI that handles people in very severe cases. Just make sure where she is at your family checks out the facility completely. NOt many places will handle trachs and vents. Hospitals will only keep her so long. good luck. Just pray and ask god to give her the strength and lean on him. He does answer prays maybe not when you want him to, he does though. God bless you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you through this tough time. It's easier said by people not in your predicament, but be strong for your mom. She needs you right now. But, venting, too, is very good. And that seems what you've needed to do. I can imagine how frustrating it can get at times - all the waiting and wondering. So, yes, a person must vent or he/she will explode!

Please keep us up to date on the situation and remember, there are lots of us out here who are praying for you and your mother! God Bless!

well thank you for the information. Good you have some knowledge in the medical field. Just pray and be supportative for your family. It is really hard to know you are here and they are there and you can only do so much. Keep your chin up. If your dad gave the permission for the nurses to talk to you, then you have every right. It is hard for a nurse to give information over the phone and you are not seeing what is going on. Your still in my prayers. Anything I can do or just to hear you out, please do that. I am your soundingboard. Good luck. love and prayers to you and your family.
