I am definitely a victim of Murphey's Law this week. My mom is still in ICU on a ventilator after her surgery. Hopefully they will be able to wean her off of it today. On Tuesday, when my grandmother was supposed to relieve me her van wouldn't crank. So we got her a new battery and had my uncle install it. I told her to take the van to AutoZone and get a free test to check the Alternator. Well she didn't. Yesterday I went back to work plus going to the hospital to visit my momma. Here's how my day went.

I got up at 4:30 am and went to see my mom. I got to her room at 5:15 and twice the number of machines were hooked up to her as at the last visitation. She is still having to get transfused more blood as she lost alot during her surgery. I try not to talk to her because that wakes her up a little and she panics about the breathing tube. She wants it out really bad and I hate seeing her struggle against the restraints. Well needless to say some noise woke her up and so when I left her to go to work I was feeling so guilty. Anyway I went straight to work and dealt with backlog from missing Monday-Wednesday. After I went to visit her on my lunch hour I was headed back to work and my grandmother called me. While she was on her way to visit my mom, her van broke down again. Why? Because she didn't get the alternator checked like I asked her to. So I had to go pick her and my aunt up off the side of the interstate and take them home plus arrange for her van to be towed. Then I went back to work and was in a meeting for 2 hours. My boss is the best and let me go at 4 PM so that I could get back in time for 5PM visitation. I stopped and picked my grandmother up so that she could go visit too. However this made me late so by the time I got to the hospital I was rushing. In my rush, I fell outside and hurt my left wrist and skinned my knee. I was like "I'm okay" and made myself shake it off and get up and keep going. Then I got inside the building and fell again and sprained my right ankle really badly. So now I'm limping around trying to take care of my mom, take care of my grandma, take care of Jennie, spend time with Jamie and work.

Please pray for my sanity because no one person can function on 16 hours of sleep over the course of 6 days.
