Daughter's wedding Sunday & Moms in the hospital

I guess I forgot to knock on wood. I was just thinking how everything seemed to be falling into place. No drama of any kind and things were pretty stress free (really strange.)
Of course...that was too good to last. Monday I get the call that my aunt was calling an ambulance for my mom. She was pretty out of it and too weak to even get out of bed.
They said one of her lungs was only working 1/2 way, but all the tests are coming back fine. We still really don't know what is going on. I got to sit in the ER until 2am Monday.
When they finally moved mother from the ER to the ICU I decided it was time to leave. When I stood up this young adult male approached me to ask for a ride to some Chevron gas station in the ghetto (Ensley Alabama) and I was surprised how FAST the security guard was on it. This 6'9" man with a booming voice was there out of nowhere. I was really happy to see that and felt better about the hospital for that. (I was in the middle of saying NO to the guy anyway.)
I doubt my mother gets to go to the wedding. She is still in the ICU and looks pretty weak. Everything else is handled though.....its a "low key" event as far as weddings go. We are having about 60 people and a simple catered menu with friends helping set things up at a cabin we have rented. One of my friends went to a wedding last month that cost 1/2 a million dollars!!!

The security at our lady of lords were Makaila works is top notch - they hire almost exclusively marines just out of service - and offer them an emt or nurse training course and scholarship money...
Plus there is a mini police substation in the er as well - though mostly cops near retirement of with disability issues and some rookies...
Well wishes for you mom and for the impending nuptials.
Your posting in the forum has been thin lately - and we can see why you are busy...
But we miss those posts and stories very much.

And wishing you a a fun and uneventful wedding weekend.
My sons Wedding was April 29. His mother was in the late stages of ALS. She went into the Hospital on the Thursday before the Wedding. The day of the Wedding she had her mind set on attending but I had no idea how to make it happen. That morning the Doctors and Nurses got their heads toghether and sent me home for her Curlers, Makeup and her fancy Dress. The nurses did her hair and makeup got her fancy dress on her put her in a wheel chair and sent us off to the Wedding. She past away three days later. I am sure going to the Wedding was the only thing keeping her alive. We buried her in her fancy Dress.
That is so beautiful and so sad all at the same time. One of Larry's uncles had ALS. That is a terrible, wicked, thing to have and I'm sorry your and your family was hit with it. She sounds like a very strong, very determined person.
The lady doing the cake has broken her back.
I feel like things were just going too well and her injury was somewhat caused by the fact that no other craziness has happened.
Just got the call........

Walmart has cakes. I am pretty sure there is not an official Crazy Wedding Quota you might be falling short of, so it was probably just a normal accident. [;)]
Everything will be fine. Just focus on the occasion and let the pesky issues sort themselves out.
Or are you handling the stress well...
We want more stories.
Soon - details.

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
still doing the fishing theme?
No theme....I think that would have happened if it weren't going on in December. It will be nearly 70 degrees that day, so they could have gotten away with it if they had known!
Prayers for your mom. How did I not know about your daughter's wedding? Congrats on that!! Hopefully you approve of the groom![:0]
He is a sweetie. I like him a lot.
Bridezilla mom???

Will do! I'm hoping to slow back down to "normal" after Sunday and I'll be able to post a few tales.
