    My Moma is dyin'

    I got a call from my brother today. He went to see Moma this morning and found her in the bed in what appeared to be a catatonic state. Her eyes were glassed over.

    He called EMS and they transported her to the ER. She's still in ER at this time (5:48 PM). A cat scan revealed a stroke sometime in the last year. She can't pick her head up and her legs are useless. Her speech is slurred and she is semi- coherent.

    My brother is making arrangements to get her in a nursing home when she's discharged, although she's likely to be in the hospital several days.

    If she makes it, she'll be 95 in January. Honestly, I don't think she will.

    I have plans to go to SC the last week of this month. I just hope I can get down there in time to see her before she dies.

    Fellas, I 'preciate y'all bein' there for me. This ain't easy to digest.

    I'm sorry to hear that Jim. All you can do is try and spend some time with her before she goes.
