I am sorry I haven't been on in the last couple days........

I am saddened to have come to my bama family to tell of my sad situation. Their were some blessings that came out of it.You see I was traveling back to Birmingham and my van broke down (just so happens it broke down near the mechanics shop where I bought it from) so we put it in the shop.I knew it was my transmission.Well they towed it in and looked at it and said the front seal on my transmission was broke and it would cost $400 to fix it.Then they told my DH that they would only charge us $250 to fix it or $50 to temperarily fix it.Well as many times I have to drive to Birmingham I said I can't "chance" a temp. fix.I thought to my self I mise well get it done while it was cheap and while I could.So I did. So anyway I had to stay with my mommaw this whole time in bham while it was getting fixed.(They told me it would take a day and a half to fix the broken seal)So we waited to get the van back in the mean time my aunt was trying to get a hold of my grandmother to tell her my other aunt had a massive heart attack and they have her on a ventilator and it was really bad.The doctors said they didn't know if she will make it because my cousin(her daughter) found her on the floor passed out and unresponsive and blue.They think she was possibly out 10 minutes which results in brain damage if she would come out of this.She just found out about 1 year ago that she has an enlarged heart and she weighs over 500 pounds and has alot of health problems.I broke down of course as this is my favorite aunt.She is still in very critical condition and docs say that these 3 days are critical.She has already coded blue 3 times today.I have put my trust in God and He will be the ultimate decider.It will be very upsetting if I lose my aunt  but I know she will no longer be suffering.I continue to pray as so does my very large family (I didn't know what such a large family I have until this happened) And I also pray for my family as well for this ha**** them so hard especially her 5 children and 3 grandchildren.I am back home for now but will be back in birmingham tomorrow to go to the hospital.Then I got news that I wasn't going to be charged for them fixing my van so I have kinda mixed emotions right now.I am just so glad God had planned for me to be here for my aunt when this happened.Even though I am hurting inside I have many Blessings that came out of this whole trip. I would like to thank you for venting and telling my story. I appreciate each and every one of you.God Bless!!!

Praying for you and your aunt.
Please, please realize this could be YOU!
You need to research this surgery; find a surgeon; DR.DEWITT does the surgery and has an office in Gardendale.
I am praying for you daily and will add you to our prayer list at church along with your Aunt if you will email me her name.
Thanks!
Know that sometimes the answer God gives us is to call us home.
