We need some powerful prayers please

Glenda, thoughts and prayers from us to you and your mother. I understand about having to put on the brave, I can do it, no need to worry about me front, when all you want to do is cry like a baby.
 
Dawn

Oh Glenda I am praying for you and mom and your family and praying hard.  I am so sorry you have to see your mom like this and with everything else you had been through with her this year you just don't need this right now.  Does your mom have a history of seizures?  You don't think she was attacked in her home do you?  Just a thought.  I am not sure what would cause seizing like that if it wasn't something she was already prone to.  I am just thankful that she got to her lifeline and sis got there before it was too late.  We will all be here for you and send as much strenght as we can you way.   

Glenda, I'm here and sending love and prayers. For you, your mom, your whole family.

Hugs from me, and little kisses from Pirate.

Mom has no history of seizures.  It could have been that the low sodium and potasium or the high BP triggered the seizure, it could have been that she's been OD'ing on Zoloft, taking that when the BP is up when she should take a different med.
 
If this woman's house were not locked up like Fort Knox...literally it takes THREE keys to get in and only then if she hasn't locked the screen door on the walk through garage door....if she has you need the garage door opener...and her storm doors are pick proof...I've tried, if not for all that, yes I would think she HAD been attacked.  The bruising on her hands looks very much like defensive wounds, BUT the deadbolts were on the doors when my sister got there to unlock so the ambulance people wouldn't break the door down.  Sharon lives right across the street
 
 

And ya'll are helping me get that strength back.

 
I just had an image of you with bulging biceps and an austrian accent saying, "I'll be back." This is sort of incongruent with your small frame and Marlene Dietrich look.
 

Glen, I've always believed the " That, which does not kill us will only make us stronger." philosophy. Now that I am older and I too was always the "Strong" one, it's not true life beats the crap out of you. And you get weaker, more compassionate, more empathetic, more aware. So be strong with your mother and then come here and be a baby.
 
Callie you the WOMAN!

the candles are lit at our house for you.
 
Prayers for you - all your family - and your mom.

Unfortunately, my little voice keeps screaming "buck up...you've gotta get everyone else through this...YOU are the strong one".......

 
You may be the "strong one", but even the strong one can benefit from a good cry or just a quick moment to yourself.  It sounds like your family is very lucky to have you at the helm and taking care of everyone at terrible times like this.  There is nothing like watching your mother be sick and hurt and feeling so helpless.  Prayers are coming your way that your mother finds peace and calm, as do all of your family members. 

Oh, Glenda, I just picked up my email to find your note...I'm so sorry this is happening.  I know what it's like to be the strong one, because I was the only one - no brothers or sisters - so my heart aches for you having to be the rock.  You will get through this and you will be strong - and if you need the support of others, come here!!!! It was always my "dog and horse friends" who helped me.
Email whenever you want, and post whenever and whatever you want, so long as it helps you to take care of yourself.
Having worked with elders for so long now, I am used to seeing the ravages of age, but it is never easy to watch a vital human being go down this road.  I hope that your mother's way will be paved with the serenity and relief that we all pray for.  And, the sacred smoke will be filled with prayers for her, and for you, tonight, and every night.

Glenda, I'm not sure what to say except it's so hard to watch someone you love being so scared.  All you want to do is take that fear away.  Just know that you're in my thoughts & I'm sending good vibes your way.
 
 

I am very sorry to hear this.  It must be incredibly hard to see your mother like this.
 
My thoughts are with you and your family.

Glenda, I hope that everything works out.  We have lit a candle and are saying prayers for both you and your mother.

It's so hard to be the 'strong one' in the family because YOU need just as much help, support and time to sort out your own feelings just as everyone else.  I also know that sick feeling you get when the phone rings and 'you just know' it's bad news.  I'm praying for your mom, you and the rest of your family.  

Oh guys, I so wish I could have posted earlier because it's already starting to help, all this love and all the prayers.  When I got back to the hospital my sisters were in the waiting area because the nuerologist was doing a spinal tap on Mom.  He couldn't get it because of her arthitis so it'll be done when she goes down for two more CT scans....one with, one without contrast.  But, she'd been given versaid (sp) and that normally knocks her for a loop, yet she woke up when I changed her pillow and cooperated with me and when her nurse came in she answered her questions...she knows she's in the hospital, the name of the hospital, that she came by ambulance, that she summoned the ambulance with the lifeline, that she did so because she fell......and then of course she was right back to snoring, but when we would ask her to open her eyes and talk, she did and could.
 
She is MORE bruised now than she was earlier.  Her nurse was able to remove her mothers ring and her wedding band, so those I gave to my sis for safekeeping. Her left hand is horribly bruised and swollen now and it goes all the way up her wrist.   And the spot on her head is still oozing pretty good.....the back of her head looks like a kids scraped knee....pretty tough to bandage the back of the head.....
 
But, thanks to all of you, she's having some really lucid moments.
 
And Ron?  Me STRONG like BULLLLLLLLL!  And tired.  Bedtime for me.
