Alot of this happened so quickly that I didn't even get a chance to tell some of you what happened. So, I'm going to try to fill you in. Mom was rushed to Albuquerque with a torn aorta. Only 20% of those making it to surgery, survive it. Mom is one of those 20%. Three weeks later, she can open one eye, nod yes and no, and surprisingly seems to be happy to be here, inspite of dialysis every other day, 40% oxygen on a ventilator delivered through a trach, and tubes running every where. She will be moved to a facility, hopefully closer to Socorro soon, but not with much hope of being in much better condition. So, whether we have 10 days, 10 months, or even 10 years, we have no idea.
I'm still here in NM, unsure of how long I will be here. One good bit of news, the migraines have decreased to such a degree, that I am incredibly functional. A couple have lasted a few hours, without any heavy meds. With all this stress, we are all expecting for my head to blow up, and it just isn't happening. I knew the elevation in CO. was bad, but I forgot how it was to not be in constant pain, and am totally wowed by God's grace in allowing me to be functional and without debilitating migraines at this time.
Thank you all so much for all your prayers. It's a gift unmeasurable, but totally appreciated.
