Update On Mom #2

We had a blowout on the way to MI last night, about 20 minutes from Mom & Dad's house, ugh! After a lot of kicking and some yelling too, Jerry decided to give up on trying to get the spare to drop from the front of the van. Our lovely spare in located towards the front of the van and is suppose to drop easily after 30 cranks to the left. We did that over and over and over and no such luck. We knew my sister was not far behind us, so we called them and they stopped to pick me and the kids up. My BIL, John, and my brother Doug brought Jerry a spare but it wouldn't fit. They finally decided to take off the bad tire and bring it back to the house and Jerry would take it to get if fixed this morning. They finally arrived at the house around 1:45 this morning. When we got here Dad told us to go over and say hi to Mom, so we did. She would somewhat respond, but not until you said hi and told her who you were. She is pretty much the same, we were able to get her to take 3 bites of the vanilla ice cream, she was asking for. Today she had had a few drops of water and a few drops of jello water too. She continues to breath very shallow and moans once in awhile. She doesn't seem to be in pain, so for that, we are VERY thankful. All of us kids took turns sitting by her side last night, so all of us a pretty much beat today, but...Dad did get to sleep well so that is a good thing! We were able to get a hospital bed today and that has seemed to help her be more calm and she has been able to rest a little better. I will post again as soon as I can. Thanks again for your prayers!
