My story as seen thru my mothers eyes |
My story begins on a Sunday Nov. 23,1997---
I had a headache all weekend and
I was suppose to go see some friends on Sunday but my head was hurting so
bad I had to call and decline. It continued hurting thru Monday and my
husband worked nights so he went on to work. When he got in on Tuesday
morning I was lying on the couch passed out. My two babies were in their
bed. I don't even remember putting them there. My husband Les grabbed the
babies, Codie age 4 and Corbin age 9 months, and put them in the car and
then carried me to the car and rushed me to Humbolt, Canada to the hospital.
On examining me they put me in an ambulance and rushed me to Saskaton to
the hospital there. Upon my arrival they called in Dr. Hudoba who was a
neurologist-a brain surgeon. They thought at first I was just having
migraines but then they gave me a cat scan and came to the conclusion that
I had an aneurysm. They scheduled me for surgery but an emergency came in
and they had to postpone it. Finally on Thursday Nov. 27th,1997
(Thanksgiving day) they performed it and discovered that I not only had one
aneurysm but that I had two.
Now everyone knows what the chances of living
are with one aneurysm much less two-that I lived had to be God. They told
Les that it was so bad he had better call in her family. Les called my
sister Christy first and told her and on Thanksgiving morning Nov. 27th,1997
she flew out of Nashville Tenn. on her way to Canada. Les told her how bad
I looked and not to be surprised. All she could really notice was the tubes
down my throat and they had my lip turned up. Christy fixed my tube but I
still couldn't speak and the next day which was Friday I tried my best to
say "I love you" , but it was such a slur.
Then fluid started gathering on
my lungs and they had to remove the life support. Dr Hudoba could not
figure out why and Christy told him about the murmur I had in my heart and
he said that explained it,so then they started working around that. Christy
stayed at the hospital Thursday and Friday night but on Saturday she ask me
if I wanted her to stay with me or the boys and I told her I wanted her to
stay with the boys. The hospital was to call them if I had any changes and
I did but the hospital did not call them.
