    PM, I was horrified to read your post from last night. Praying for you and PD this morning. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

    I slept all night last night for the first time in a while. Feeling pretty darn good this morning. :)

    Thanks you all. I haven’t heard from the neurosurgeon at all. I left the hospital at 5:30 came home to shower and feed the pets. Poor babes all went to be hungry last night. Heading back in a few. Will post if and when I know something about the brain bleed how bad and plans. Thanks for all your prayers and believe me all of you with your own problems I consider them just as big as mine. So don’t take yours to litely. We all have feelings, needs, prayers, well wishes, and we all know we are not judged here as we are by our co-workers and people that appear to be a friend most of the time. Prayers and hugs to all.

    (((((PM))))) PM so sorry to read your post from last night. Prayers for you and PD. You are one strong person to do all that you have been doing. Don’t know what I can do, but let me know if you need something and I’m willing to try.

    Nice not to have a cold morning. Hope Monday treats everybody well.

    PM, a couple of months ago, I joined a huge motorcycle ride from Trustmark Park to the Jackson Harley Dealer. As I went out to get on my bike to leave the Harley Dealer, there was a man and his wife who asked if I wanted my bike blessed. I told them, “Yes!”. In the process he witnessed to me and offered prayer. He asked if there was anybody special I wanted him to include in the prayer and I said “Parrot Dad”. He asked if I knew his name and a I told him I did but couldn’t remember it at the moment, so just pray for Parrot Dad. God will know who we are praying for.

    When praying for individuals who have debilitating life threatening illness, I rarely ask God to cure them because I think God knows His plans for that soul. But I always ask God to give them ease from their pain and to comfort their loved ones. That continues to be my prayer for PD and you.

    God bless you both.

    {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{PM}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I’m so sorry, PM. I can’t even begin to imagine how hard this is on you. I hope the doctors can figure out what to do for him.

      Our youth went to Winterjam. They had to turn 3000 away! But to the BCS Centers credit, they set up a stage outside and the artists went outside and performed for those who could not get inside.

    Oh DEAR Lord Jesus, there are times when words seem insufficient. Troubles are on every hand as David said in the Psalms. Our heart and our soul cries out to you.

    Jesus, Parrotmom and her family need your strength today. They have no strength of their own and we cannot be there physically to hug them, only You can do that. As OB said You know the outcome and we put that into Your capable hands.

    Lord, my friend Matt is in the air from Scotland coming here to bury his little son. dear Lord, hug him. We can’t fathom that pain, but you can.

    God You rule the raging sea, when the waves rise, You still them. We pray for Your angels of mercy and peace to surround these dear ones. We thank you that YOU are omnipresent. You are right there in every place ministering Your love and comfort and strength where it is needed. Please, trace your love, joy and comfort across the heart of these dear ones and any one else who needs a special touch from you today.

    Help those of us who must get news out and may Your spirit rule in these moments. Draw us all to Your great heart in these times of trouble. In Jesus name, AMEN.

    Amen CardinalLady.
    Thanks all for your prayers. I am sure why I feel such peace now. God has blessed me with 3 more months with David and I am very thankful, but if god’s will is to take him home, I can do that too!!!

    I finally saw the neurosurgeon. The bleed was around the brain not in the brain. Mild to moderate. PD is still on the ventilator and sedated. Today anytime the sedation started wearing off he become very agitated and combative?? fighting, struggling. Maybe tomorrow will be better. They don’t forsee a brain injury but will do another CT tomorrow, would prefer an MRI but cannot be done with the meds he is on. The Nuero Doc sounded positive and no need to think otherwise for now. If he gets to come home will need a daytime sitter?? oh my!!!

    I feel like a heel for not checking in sooner. PM, so sorry to hear of PD’s fall and bleed. Chances are the blood may be causing swelling of the brain causing the agitation. I’m sure they are giving him meds for this to bring down the pressure. Another reason why that PT/INR needed to be checked Friday. I hope the levels weren’t too high-that could have caused the bleed leading to the fall instead of the other way around. I so wish you had called. I was up all night anyway…Chicklette must have eaten something that didn’t sit well with her yesterday at her grandmother’s.

    She and I watched the Oscars (and drooled over my fave actor), then went to bed. At 2 am I woke up to her running to the restroom. She threw up, felt better eventually, and went to school at 10 this morning. She was motivated-Friday, the tennis coach asked her to come practice with the tennis team today. (I honestly thought she was trying to pull a fast one, so I checked with the coach this weekend and he confirmed it) She went to practice today, and after she warmed up, she was hitting at least 80%. She made the team! Her self-esteem went up by leaps and bounds. I’m so proud of her! She really needed this right now. Leagle, your comment about kids being in their 30’s before the parents are “right” varies from child to child, I think. My boys are day and night (as y’all know), and Thing 1, having worked at BK for over a year, entered the Manager Training today. He talked about going back to school for an AA in Business, and I told him mgmt experience will probably carry him further than a 2 yr degree. He has been a great member of their team for over a year, and his district manager has been trying to get him in management for six months. I’m proud of him too :) He’s also head over heels with a beautiful redhead from Carthage. They’ve been dating seriously for 6 months, and I have never seen him light up like he does when he’s with her. He’s told me. “She’s THE ONE.” Oh my..I hope they take their time, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if I have a daughter-in-law within the next year. The whole family is crazy about her, and hers about him. They’re like peas and carrots-heh.
    Thing 2 is back in school, doing pretty well. I wish college money fell from the sky like manna from Heaven…The program at Delta State for the music business is exactly what he wants to do, but I hate to see kids graduate with student loan debt. Hopefully he will be able to get a scholarship of some kind. Granted, he doesn’t have a vehicle right now, but I think that’s been a good thing.
    Enough from me. I did go by Tank’s in Philly to get flowers for Mama and Daddy’s vase on their headstone; Mom’s birthday was 2/17, Daddy’s is 3/5, and 20 years and 1 month ago today, my Daddy passed away at 52. Y’all, I haven’t even been able to put Mom’s date of death on her headstone, and it’s been almost 2 years. I woke up several days last week crying and would have dreamed about her. Right now, I need her advice so much on raising my own daughter; I thought by now the pain would have eased, but dwb810, I know how you feel hon.
    OB, I hope your girl “racked up” at the shower. I saw her name in the bridal registry of the north Jackson magazine I picked up at Ichiban last weekend.
    Love y’all, mean it. And Blues, you noticed the same sords I did in CardinalLady’s prayer-but I’ve taken off my shoes to count with my toes too.
    God Bless and Good Night. PM, please let me know what hospital PD is in. CP, you have been on my mind so much. I pray this treatment goes well, and am very glad they are moving fast with his treatment-we all know time is of the essence.
