I need hugs

chardonnay24

Guys, I'm having a really bad day.

I got a text from my mom this morning that my grandma is in ICU after suffering a massive stroke. We are not very close but my dad is a mess. I'd love to be able to support my family, but my car is dead and my husband had to leave for a big work emergency, so I'm stuck at home, waiting to hear if my grandma is going to live and without a way to get to the hospital. To top it off, we were at a big evaluation for my son today and he received an official ASD diagnosis. No big surprise, as he already had received an educational diagnosis, but still, it stings a bit.

I'm having a hard time controlling my emotions. I'm basically just sitting on the couch, a helpless, blubbering mess. Please send any thoughts, prayers, good vibes you have to my grandma and my family, and send me a gigantic batch of cookies and probably brownies. I really need to drink, but will stuff my face with chocolate instead.

Oh Chard, what a day big hugs to you, and no judgment if you decide to go crazy with the chocolate. Thoughts and prayers for everyone's health, welfare, and sanity through so much stress.

Thanks for all the support! Just got off the phone with my mom and my grandma is doing much better - awake, coherent, and able to drink water from a sponge. She can't talk and is having trouble with movement, but it's a great sign. Thank you all so much!!

Come september, we will have to have a group toast for everyone that has struggled. I can't imagine the added stress.

Glad to hear she is doing better! I'm sure that's a relief.  As for your son, keep your head up.  You've posted enough in here about him for all of us to know you're a kick ass mom and will do wonders for the ASD community.
