Around thanksgiving I wrote about my friend's misscarriage. Now my best nate is facing the eminent death of his mom. She has been declining for the past five years with diabetes realted issues. Tuesday at 12:30am, she fell and hit her head on the bathroom counter, fracturing hr skull. She was rushed to the ER and has bleeding on the brain. She won't survive the trip to the neorologist (closest is in the next county) and the neuro saud that based in her med history (kidney and liver failure, amonnia levels that sky rocket even with dialysis and land her in short comas once a month, bones that won't heal from a break three years ago, unexplained blood volume loss that has her getting transfusssions once evry three months or so, and on and on) she wouldn't srvive the surgery.
They thought she would pass within two hours, but as of writing this she is still clinging to life like grim death. The family is holding a vigil t her side.
As all of this is happening my friend's wife is is worrying about her grandmother who has been given less than a week to live (recieved the news sunday eve). In fact she was down there, awaiting my friend to join her once the GM passed (he only gets 3 days berevement leave, an has no sick time left) when they got the news of my friend's mom two days after recieving the news about her GM. SHe is back up to support my friend (she lost her mom 7 years ago, when she was pregnant with her first child).
I am trying to do everything i can to be there for them. I have offered to watch the kids, cook meals, do laundry etc.
As someone who lost his own mom at 13, dad at 17, and GF (raised me with ny GM afetr mom passed) at 18, I can truely empathize with what he is going through.
My heart is breaking for my freinds' pain. :frown1:
