Why am I here? I need to get these thoughts out. Over a month ago my mother started having breathing problems. I was terrified that her heart was failing, as she does have congestive heart failure. She had water in her lungs and ended up getting better.
Then I received a call that my dear Uncle was ill. He passed that week, I was devastated. He had helped my family so much when I lost my Father and Grandparents.
When I returned mom was not feeling well. I thought she overdid it by cleaning while I was gone to the funeral, but it was worse than that. On Memorial day we rushed her to the ER. She was bleeding internally and had a hemoglobin of 6.4. She was quickly taken to ICU when her blood pressure dropped suddenly. Long story short, they found the bleeding and it had already stopped. It began to bleed again just a little. Her body was having difficulty making blood so they gave her tons of iron. Finally, she is home and her body making hemoglobin.
My mind is still uneasy, expecting things to slide again and they might. Life is so frail and the happiness we find ourselves in breaks so suddenly.
