And the hits just keep coming.....

Mrs. Theobald · July 2010

I couldn't get a hold of my mom or stepdad today. I knew something was wrong. My stepdad called me back at 6 pm to tell me my mom was admitted back to the hospital today. She has an infection and they are not sure what the source is. They do not think it is her massive incision from her surgery. She is currently drinking contrast and waiting to have a CT scan @ 9 pm. I finally got to talk to her on the phone and she sounds ok. I also found out from my stepdad that she is going to have to have 9 weeks of chemo (2 days a week), 5 weeks of radiation (5 days a week), and 9 more weeks of chemo. I am a little upset she did tell this was going to happen. She has known since Thursday. I know I am a worrier but would rather know what is going on than being left in the dark. It makes me wonder what else they are keeping from me. I hate being so far away. When I heard she was back in the hospital I wanted to jump in my car and go down there but I know that is probably not the best thing to do right now. This also means she won't be able to watch Ava when we go on our cruise in September. I don't know what to do. DH doesn't want to take her and I don't feel comfortable leaving her for 5 days with anyone but my mom.

I also got a call this afternoon from my cousin that my other cousin's children were in a car accident at 7:30 am. They were in Ohio visiting family with their dad when the front tire blew on their SUV and it flipped. The girl who is 15 has a collapsed lung and is doing well. The boy who is 9 has a broken hip, broken arm, and a concussion. He has already had one surgery and is scheduled for another on Tuesday. He is sedated and in the ICU unit at a children's hospital in Cincinnati. Their dad, his gf, and two other children were also in the car. I am not sure their condition but I do know one of the other children is also in ICU. Please if you can say a huge prayer for my family. We surely need it!!!
