Greetings in Jesus' precious Name... I haven't posted due to so many "things" going on...before I could post, something else would happen!! For one thing, the hospital is an hours drive away....just when MY vehicle can't be driven (the brakes) and hubby is still working....so trying to get there has been a real act of faith....but God has been blessing me....so that I am there when I'm supposed to be....I have been just in & out of groups lately tho....
she came thru alright but they are having prob. with her anesthetic...it doesn't seem to want to "wear off" so that she is only SLOWLY coming out of it. My niece, 21, whom my Mom basically raised (who gets on my nerves tremendously due to her arrogance, pride, rebellion & total lack of respect for any body & any thing) brought her live in boyfriend with her, even tho my Mom won't even allow her own brothers to visit while she is unconscious or very groggy....after having gone thru, oh, I'd say 20 surgeries with her, over the years....(she shattered her ankle and had about 9 surgeries done on it, years ago, and other surgeries)....I know that the boyfriend is a BIG "No no" yet could not get those two to calm down (my Mom was soooo out of it that she never would have known they were there....but since they were trying to "wake her up" by lowering her meds....That could have happened: her waking up to a man there!)....they were acting like they were at a party: laughing at my Mom's mumblings in her sleep and being loud & obnoxious...I would ask the nurse a question and BOYFRIEND would answer so loud about what all HIS Dad went thru that I had not a clue what the NURSE said...things like that...yet I couldn't exactly COMMAND then to leave since they were the ones who gave me the ride there!!! It was a very trying evening...and I did talk to them about all of it later, trying to explain how VULNERABLE my Mom feels in those hospital gowns and with tubes n stuff up her nose, just wants us "girls" there....but she still didn't get it and they are totally POed at me (excuse the French!!!).
Last night was great tho....Mike drove me (so I wouldn't be "alone" with them in case the niece & her boyfriend were there again).....Mom was more coherent...she still should be more awake...and I suspect today will be GREAT for her *smile*. This will be SUCH a relief because she will be able to tell them herself if she wants them to leave...or for all I know, feel entertained you know? tee hee...but from past experience with her, I doubt that happens....sheesh...my Mom IS afraid of offending niece tho (she offends easily) so I have no idea how she will deal with their antics once she is awake.
I have never had to deal with any issues like my niece & her boyfriend!! Everyone else in the family, over the years, has shown total respect for her wishes and would call up at the hospital FIRST to see if she even WANTED visitors!! It was always just my Mom & I for those first few days....so this was REALLY frustrating for me. (and YES! I forgive them and YES! I walked in total love...it was just frustrating to try & get it thru to them that ALL of this was about my MOM & not them!!)
so, all is well & Jesus always & forever IS LORD! Amen!!
