Ron and Con at a CState Football Game a few years ago
I’m keeping this one short because it’s sad.
Mom has taken another set of steps backwards. She’s having more seizures. They’re going to put her under heavy sedation again to see if the medicine will work. She was extubated earlier this week, but now they’re going to have to intubate her again. They are going to have to perform a surgery to help her get her nutrition through her stomach. And the latest MRI is actually now indicating that she’s going to have some level of physical or cognitive deficit. No way to know until she wakes up.
We’re devastated. This is obviously on-going, and we’ll need to just see if the seizures can stop before we have any more idea about what will happen next. Dad is next to her today and as much as he can be right now. Reading to her, holding her hand, telling her how much we love her over and over. She’s in there. She knows it.
Also, this has been very excruciating for us, but this weekend Michelle and I are getting married out in Eureka, Nevada. Mom was obviously very excited to be part of it.
We’re going to go thru with the wedding because we’re already this far along, and honestly it’s just a frivolous party. I’ll be thinking of her and my Dad in every in-between moment, wishing I was hugging and holding them. But Mom’s already witnessed the love Michelle and I have for each other and our family. She knows we love her to the moon. We’ll do something extra special another time — for her and the others in our family who can’t make it all the way out to the middle of nowhereNevada to see it go down.
Anyway. I know you all are praying and hoping for Connie. Keep it going more than ever.
The updates will be light for the next week or so. I’m hoping I’ll have better news next time.
Loving you all.
