What a day...

This past week started out great...Molly and Betsy spent the week with us. We had such a fun time...Betsy's getting so big and has such a personality. She made us laugh so much! She chased our cats all over the house...she never did catch them though. The kids went home yesterday. Then this morning I got a call that my mom was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. Dad found her sitting on the edge of the bed having a seizure...bleeding from her mouth and unable to talk. He called 911 and they took her to the hospital. When we got there she had a breathing tube in and they were bagging her...(pumping air into her lungs.) It was so scary. They took a brain scan and didn't see any indication of a stroke so after she was stabilized they took her by ambulance to Muncie to the large university hospital. She was in Intensive Care all day today. They were able to remove the breathing tube and she's now breathing on her own. They don't think she had a stroke...even though her speech is still a little slurred. It may be caused by her biting her tongue and cheek during the seizure. They think the seizure was caused by lack of oxygen due to her C-pap machine not getting enough air into her lungs. We're planning to go back to the hospital tomorrow after church. It was a relief to see her responding to us and not on the ventilator! All of my brothers and sisters were there. My dad rounded us all up and bought lunch for all of us in the hospital cafeteria. He still treats us like we're his chicks and he's the mother hen. It's nice though...he's always been the protector of his family and still is at 80! All of us had called friends to pray for Mom this morning and we know that the Lord was with her and all of us. It was a very long and tiring day but we have a lot to thank Him for. We're just trusting that He will see Mom through all this and help her to get her strength back.
