So, exactly one year today, my mom had a blood clot hit her heart and lungs. She passed out in her bedroom and when she came to, she was completely out of it. I have to say, that was the single most scary moment, day, week, I've ever been through. When this all happened, all i could do it sit on the porch and make sure my sister was okay, I felt so helpless and to be honest, I almost hated myself for it.
That night, she was at the hospital, and everything was okay, when another blood clot came and hit her heart, except this time, she didn't wake up. It was by the grace of God that there was a doctor in the room who made the split second decision to jump on top of her in the bed and start CPR. Everyone else was too shocked to think of anything to do.
For the next about week and a half, my mom was in ICU, stable, but critical. I was able to go see her once, and it took everything that I had not to cry, because she could still hear, and there was no way in hell I was going to let her hear me scared.
But she pulled through, and was able to leave in about two weeks after that. She's been recovering since and I just felt that this was the best way for me to tell her how much she means to me. So mom, I love you, and happy First Birthday.
