Say a Little Prayer for Mom

I know everyone has different feelings about religion, prayer, etc. – but if you are reading this and believe, then please say a little prayer for Jessi’s mom. Jessi is my “sister by heart” and her mom is my “adopted” mom. Eight years ago she was diagnosed with a degenerative lung disease and told she had 6 months to 10 years – simply because she is so tiny and has so many different reactions to medicines. Last week, she went into the hospital and was told by the doctor that she is in the final stages of the disease. This woman has pulled more miracles then we can count and I pray that she is able to pull one more, but am just not sure this time. She now needs the Bypab machine with the full mask nearly 24 hours to keep her oxygen levels up and her carbon dioxide levels down and is not in her own senses much of the time which we are hoping is just based on the various medicines that she is on – but again have received different reasons for that as well. I went up there on Friday night to hug Jessi and to see her mom – Mom told me that she was talking with Chris and let me know that he is playing on a league!?!?

It is so hard to listen to Jessi on the phone because I hear the pain and the fear in her voice and just wish I could take that away from her. As we said the other day to each other – mine is not a club she wants to join – the one where you lose family members – I told her that I didn’t want her in my club either.

So please, everyone, say just a little prayer, that Mom pull just one more miracle, but that even if she cannot make it through this time that she gains her mind back enough for Jessi to talk with her just a little bit more.
