Hospital just called

[KS Toronado]

Last edited Fri Feb 21, 2025, 06:27 AM - Edit history (2)

My 95 year old mom has been having some health issues lately. Hospital called just as I
was leaving for my daily visit and said I better get up there, she might not last the night.

Was healthy & active 3 weeks ago. All Democratic thoughts, prayers, vibes needed.
She goes by Betty

ON EDIT.......

Thank you all for the help, it did change her diagnosis timeline somewhat, unfortunately
she's headed to Hospice care for 3 days to 2 weeks. She had an amazing run getting up to
just shy of 96, very active in her church and loved getting up on the stage at the Senior
Center meal site everyday to tell the latest jokes she'd found. And never left a crossword
puzzle unfinished. Had hundreds of cats over the years at the farm. Always attributed
her long life to the many vitamins she took every day.

On the bright side she's looking forward to seeing my father and her 7 siblings she outlived.
And I'll miss her. Thank you all for the kind words.

ON EDIT #2

Received call at 1:35 am to get back to the hospital, got there 4 minutes too late , she was
already hugging Dad upstairs.

60. What is her mom's name

The Jewish prayer for healing uses the name of the person and their mom.
May the one who blessed our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, bless and heal those who are ill [names]. May the Blessed Holy One be filled with compassion for their health to be restored and their strength to be revived. May God swiftly send them a complete renewal of body and spirit, and let us say, Amen.

71. Hey, Kansas family

Prayers that you have a beautiful visit with her tonight.

Don't give up hope thought. My dad Murl, 92, had a catastrophic fall in mid-January and fractured his pelvis. I got THE call. I got the hugs and the sympathy from the nurses. He's alive and out of the wheelchair. He's pretty far gone in dementia, but we get a bit more time. I'll take it.

I hope you and Betty get a reprieve tonight.

I think maybe you told your mother she was beloved, when you came on DU to ask for prayers. I’m so sorry for your loss.

*********************************************
Are you afraid
However could you not be
In this rosy light
This is strange
I feel a hand come through the mirror
Pointing at the light
Point at the light we never see
As you put your feathered arms over me

Before you leave
You must know you are beloved
And before you leave
Remember I was with you
And as you leave
I won't hold you back beloved

[Stinky The Clown]

125. Smile down on us all, Betty
