Some sad news. My mother, whom I love suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm on Sunday nite. She was med flighted to a United States coastal hospital at midnight. I arrived at the hospital at about 5am the next morning. She looked pretty good when I was there. Her vitals were good. Her blood pressure, oxygen levels, resting heartbeat etc. were good. However she was/is in a coma. She has been in a coma for a couple of days. She had an cerebral angioplasty on her brain to “clean up” or clear the aneurysm and her small veins in her brain. There was lots of blood in her brain and it is still being drained out.
She is not waking up, however. She is still in a coma.

To be quit honest with you I am very happy that she is alive and that she has made it this far. I love and miss my mother. I hope she pulls through.
Some people don’t like the expression, “thoughts and prayers” I used to be indifferent to it. I welcome those words now.
I am not egocentric enough not to realize that human love, intention and even mediation and prayer, help any situation. I am mostly an agnostic but I still do pray. I still hold deep intention for others well being and health as well as my own. I still do all those things as if I was religious or a fervent believer. I believe it works…I will write more later.
Be well.
