Ok.... For anyone who doesn't know... My mother passed away this morning.... 6:15 am... My schedule for the next few days is going to be a little crazy, and honestly probably for the next week... We're going to be holding her service on Monday, and sometime within the next couple days we're going to be holding a viewing and everything... So, I'm going to be busy... But, I'm ok. Surprisingly... I just feel like I'm on a horrible roller coaster ride that won't let me off. My mother is going to be cremated.... And I'm just so sad because everything happened so fast... I almost feel guilty... Yesterday, at around 3:30 pm, we woke her up after she had been sleeping for 25 hours... This was not normal. She gets up, comes into the kitchen with me, and we're making a glass of pepsi. Talking, laughing... Then, I left to go to walmart. And I get this phone call from my father as I'm checking out that something happened. He wouldn't tell me what had happened.. But later on, i found out it was a heart attack. He had heard a weird noise.. It was her exhaling, loudly, with a gurgling sound, and staring with her eyes fixed at the ceiling. So, after she went into the hospital, I came up there to bring my dad his phone charger, and when I left, I told her I loved her, and she told me the same. And that's the last time I saw her awake. Around 11 pm, she went into kidney failure. About 45 minutes later, my father was told 5 of her organs were failing... At midnight, her heart stopped for 20 minutes. She came back, not awake or anything, but her heart was still going. She crashed 2 more times, the last one I was there for. Well, the doctor came in and said that he wasn't able to fix the problem. They were wanting to do a ct scan with the dye so they could see where this horrible infection that caused blood poisoning was coming from. He said that basically, he was just putting a bandaid over the problem and wasn't fixing the problem, so it wouldn't be fair to her to just keep bringing her pulse back, when every time they did, the intervals it stayed up were shorter and shorter each time..... So. At 6:15 am... She finally let go. And it was so hard... So hard to just watch her pass. I stood beside her bed. Held her hand..... So, now. I sit here. Feeling like at any moment she's going to walk in the door... But I know she's not... So, everyone. Just keep me in your thoughts, please. I appreciate every single one of you, and I wouldn't have spent the time to tell you all what happened, if you weren't important to me. Hold tight to what you love, live your life like you want, and just be good. <3
