The Phone Call!

When you have sick parents and you hear the phone ring..........cringe!  I sometimes don't want to answer the phone.

But yesterday afternoon I got the very besteset of phone calls that I've ever received in my entire life.

I picked up the phone in irritation as I had been trying for over 30 minutes to get out the door to go see my mother in the hospital - but the phone kept ringing.

Suddenly I heard a very familiar voice say, "Hello?!?!"

I screamed (well, maybe not screamed, but almost), "Mom????  Is that you?????"

The answer was a joyful, "Yes!!!"

The ventilator has been removed.  She remained in ICU for the night, but this morning while visiting my dad (who is possibly sick with the stomach thingy) the ICU nurse called and told me they are moving my mother out of ICU as we speak.

Praise God!

I want to sincerely thank everyone for their thoughtfulness and prayers.  I can't even properly thank you all with words.  They just aren't 'enough' for what I feel for the kindness that has been shown to my family throughout this ordeal.

But if you're still tuned in and willing to pray, please pray for continuing wellness for my mama, but I also ask that you pray for my dad.  He's very frustrated and a bit down from the radiation, the diarrhea (that we're not sure is from radiation or bug), and he could really use an uplifting from the Lord!
