Mom's fever broke a little while ago. She's still in the coma, tho. Dad said that they are flooding her with antibiotics to fight both the H1N1 and the sepsis. He sounds so tired.
He told me today that he whispered in her ear that we would all be okay if she couldn't fight anymore and wanted to go. The fever broke a short time later. He says that was her answer. She's not done fighting.
I was listening to a song today by Tracy Chapman...
The Only One
She was the only one
Of my flesh and blood
Now I have no calling
I can do no worldly good
I sit silent
I sit mourning
I sit listless all the day
I've mostly lost the voice to speak
And any words to say except
Does heaven have enough angels yet?
I've gone hard
And I've gone cold
I can't make the pieces of this cracked life fit
Please forgive me for wanting to know
Does heaven have enough angels yet?
She was the only one
Of my own flesh and blood
Sometimes I hear her calling
Straight from the house of God
"Does Heaven have enough angels yet....?"
Please, pray for my Mom.
For Myles-- When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
For Mom-- Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings
Mom came out of the coma a couple of hours ago! Dad sounded so relieved when he called. She still has the vent, her lung still has fluid in it. No fever. He said that her one kidney has completely shut down due to the tumor, which is growing at an alarming pace. But, they can't go in and get it with the H1N1 and sepsis still present. He still wants to bring her back here. Hopefully, once she is off the vent they can.
Keep the prayers coming, thank you all

Vent is out!! Mom is awake and has been talking with Dad They hope to send her back here tomorrow or the next day, depends on labs for H1N1 and sepsis. They won't move her if she is still positive for H1N1. Once the two infections are gone, they are hoping to do the kidney surgery. They have to do it soon because the tumor is growing so fast. That kidney is no longer functioning.
Keep praying all. And this is from Mom
she loves you all so much!!
