She's 82 and fell and smacked her head on the closet. Has a brain bleed as in currently in emergency surgery. I'm 6 hours away and can't be there before surgery is over. My sister and mom's friends are there. Lost my dad less than A year ago.
UPDATE
Just got off the phone with sister and the surgery went well.... Only took an hour when they estimated 3 or 4. They got All the blenders and there was no selling of her brain. All her limbs are responsive and she's moving her hand. Only thing they're trying to figure out at the moment is why her platelets are so low. She was at the ER yesterday because she was feeling weak and they said she was slightly anemic and let her go home. Three hours after getting home she fell trying to get out of bed and hit her head. We're headed there tomorrow and I'll stay as long as needed. We thank you all for being such kind and caring people. I thank you for making me feel a little less alone during the wait.
