My sister has been home a week, in fact, she posted on her Facebook account saying she thought she was only in the hospital for a week, not half a month. That's how bad things got, plus I have learned that if she hadn't been transferred to the other hospital by the next day, I would more than likely be flying home for her funeral. I saw a picture of what she looked like before her surgery, as well as after, and she looked like she was extremely pregnant about to give birth, that is how swollen her stomach was, though now, the swelling is going down, but the day she got home, a neighbor asked when she was due, as she still looked about 6 months pregnant.
Now, I have been going back and forth on whether or not I should post anything, as most of you know I don't like to post much about family issues, but I have come to the conclusion that the more thoughts and prayers that are given out to one person that things can happen. So I am going to ask you, my family, to add Ray's mom to your thoughts and prayers. We don't know the full story, as Ray only got a snippet of what was happening, but it seems his mom went in for surgery on her neck, and during the surgery, the doctors believe she had a small stroke. She is currently in a nursing home, or something like that, she claims she's fully paralyzed on her left side, and from what we are to understand, from what his brother told Ray on Mother's Day, she isn't doing very well. Her spirits are low and the will to live is nearly gone. I believe I have mentioned her to Rags, and Sarant a few times, about what she has been going through in the past 10 yrs or so, but it is hurting Ray beyond belief, he would love to go down to Florida and see his mom, but there are somethings that are in the way of that, mostly due to her not wanting her children to see her like she is right now.
Ray is going to call his brother tomorrow when we know he will be home, and find out what exactly is going on, and why she's in this home, when she could be at her house. Though we have an idea that her soon to be ex-husband is not conductive to her coming home, but at least we know that his mother has been going to see her everyday, making sure she's being taken care of and all that stuff. So at least one person in that family cares. I will try to keep you all updated on what we learn, but please, add her to your thoughts and prayers, she needs all the help she can get, because I really do not think Ray can handle losing his mother, not right now.
