Hey guys, bad news. My mom got injured very badly 2 days ago and im feeling terrible. Dont feel the need to reply or read this whole thing.
It started on Tuesday when I got home from school, im 18 freshman in college taking summer courses (organic chemistry
) and my moms stuff was at home but she was gone. She left her phone and car and purse. Then my dad called me and told me to come to the hospital mom fell and hit her head. When I got there I saw my neighbor leaving the hospital, when she came up to me and said, do you know what happenend? I said no. She told me that my mom was walking and then someone was walking their dog while driving their car and they came behind my mom and the leash tripped her very hard. My neighbor told me my mom was confused and vomitted then had a seizure, she was then sedated and intubated then sent to the OR. There was a bleed in her brain so they relieved intracranial pressure with a drain in the skull. Her skull was fractured.
Now she lays in bed still sedated, today her breathing tubes were taken off because she was using her lungs and the tubes are uncomfortable. She seems like she is in a lot of pain whenever she comes to. She hasnt spoken or squeezed her hand when the doctors tell her to. She opens her eyes and looks right through me, she cant understand anything. She pulls at her wires and tries to get up but has restraints because she cant touch the tube connected to the drain in her brain. She moans like a zombie flails around when shes not sedated enough. My dad has slept in her room 2/3 nights on a chair and i spend most of my day at the hospital.
I just want her to know I love her. I want her to be able to remember me, and love me. I want my mom back just how she was, like this never even happenend. It was so fast. So random. It could've happenend to any pedestrian and shouldnt have happenend. My little brother is 13 and he cant sleep. I hate holding my mom down and telling her to relax, when shes making pained faces and moaning. Im so worried about her. Her heart rate from 38-96 in minutes today they got an ekg out. I hope when I wake up tomorrow my mom is ok.
