Got some sleep last night.

My mom is still in very critical condition. The head nurse who was dedicated to my mom told us that her chance of makIng it is very slim. But one of the doctors helping us told us that yes while her chances are slim, she has a fighting chance. The fact that she hasn't been incubated and is nodding and responding to questions, regardless of how out of it she is, and the fact that she is relatively young for this condition, she has a fighting chance.

But it's going to be long and hard. Her kidneys have completely shut off, her pancreas is almost essentially dead, and she has several gallstones which they believe to be the sudden trigger of all of this.

But she is on dialysis, which she has to be on continuously for 48 hours, and despite some minor equipment failure, it's doing it's thing, and my dad told me that she was a little more alert before he finally had to go home to sleep.

So the phrase of the day is cautiously optimistic. So I know only a few people actually ever respond to my blog, but maybe more people read it than I am aware, but please, if you pray, please send prayers her way, and if you don't, please send good thoughts and good vibes her way.

I am horrible with changes, and especially big changes. And the ONLY constant in my entire life has been my parents.

So, for now, I'm off, to spend another day at the hospital. Wish us luck
