Please help...

Hello my amazing OH family. I have been awol for a while. I got called Fri. evening to come to WV. My mother was found non responsive in her apt. lying on the floor where she had been for 2 days. She has had MRSA, had a couple surgeries plus been an insulin dependent diabetic for a while now. She crashed in route to the hospital & then once again in the hospital. The doctors put her on a ventilator and she has not been responsive whatsoever. The MRSA is so bad that it caused her to go into diabetic coma with sugar levels into the thousands. Then yesterday an MRI showed a stroke. Today she is scheduled for a cat scan to determine what type of stroke...clot or bleed. Depending they will then try to take her off the venitlaotr to see if she will breath on her own or not. I am the oldest child and the next of kin and feela ll alone in this. She has no one else, no insurance, no money, no nothing. The one thing she has always had is faith. I guess I am here asking for any of you to please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Her name is Sarah. Thank you so much, ~April

Oh, April, you and your mother are in my prayers hon. Hang in there. I guess at this point it's all in His hands. I sometimes joke with my mom that we need to get those LifeAlert things for my grandfather and one for my grandmother. But, it's also my fear that what happened to your mother could easily happen to anyone. Did you drive down to West Virginia by yourself? I'll send safe travel prayers too. * Cyndi *

Yes, I had little choice but to come alone. Husband was off for 2 weeks just had hemmoroid surgery. A girlfriend brought him down for the week, but then he had to go home Thurs. My aunt and I drove him back and we returned to WV yesterday afternoon. My mom is worse than when she came in to hospital. Multi system organ failure & in a persistent vegetative state. Wed. the docs said she was near hopeless. Today we have family meeting again with medical team. Have decided to termintate life support, but can't unless docs say treatment is futile. I would've never foreseen how devstating this has been. I mean she was not a big part of my life and we have had no relationship for over 18 years. Thank you for prayers. She was a christian woman. I think all she had was her faith. Thanks again, April

April, You and everyone involved are in our prayers and thoughts. Stay strong and know that you are doing all you can. Both of my siblings have moved out of state for the first time, and so I have had the same fears of being alone in situations like this. Know that we are here to talk and vent.......going to give you my cell number and home number....will message them to you. Also can you reply back to that with your address? Love, Holly
