On Tuesday I got a call that my stepmom was found unconscious and life-flighted to Lafayette thinking she had a stroke. Then she was life=flighted to Baton Rouge when they realized she had an aneurysm. Blood covered all 4 quadrants of the brain and it didn't look good. They did surgery and she has been in ICU at Our Lady of the Lake. I got a call yesterday that they are not hopeful and will most likely have to take her off the machines. So I am headed to BR today to go say goodbye. I am also recovering from hand surgery and technically am not supposed to drive that far but my doctor approved it and gave me some tips to do to keep hand from swelling. So asking for prayers for my step mom and my step-sister/brother that they can let go and do the right thing for Judy. And also for me that I will get there safely with no problems with my hand. Thanks all!
Will certainly pray for this...had a very similar situation with my mom when we removed her from life support. was the hardest and best thing my brothers and I have had to do....hard to describe the incredible sadness and yet incredible joy of that Godspeed
I never know what to say in these situations. I have had to say goodbye to both of my parents and I can feel your pain. You haven't ever sair whether you are married or not but I hope there is someone in your life that you can lean on for comfort. And if it's not too late why don't you fly? You don't need to be driving while one handed while you are grieving.
Thanks all. I've lost both of my parents, all of my aunts in Louisiana and now this. But my stepsister is hanging on so we will see what happens. She is now talking about not doing it and instead traching her with a feeding tube. But I feel good that I went
