It seems as if Mom's condition is a lot worse than we thought. She has two broken vertebrae and has two choices. She can either a) Stay on her back for 12 weeks in DALLAS where she is right now. OR b) Have surgery and 2 weeks of rehab and will possibly be able to fly home with enough time for some therapy in NY. She could feasibly fly now and have surgery here but if her condition worsened for the sake of our convenience I would never forgive myself. I asked my sister the risks of surgery - she hasnt gotten an answer but we know it could be paralysis or worse- something I am not prepared to think about right now.
All of the last minute stuff I need Mom for now, I will have to do alone or with my sister. It wasnt supposed to be this way. Thanks in advance for all of your support.

Re: Bad news.
oh man leslie, I feel so bad about what is happening right now. There is nothing anyone can say to make it better, but somehow things will work out(probably the last thing you want to hear right now).
What does your mom say about all of this?

Re: Bad news.
It seems as if Mom may have her surgery on Tuesday. My sister has been in TX with her but needs some support. The remaining 3 kids are going to try to stagger our visits so that Mom isn't alone. I will more than likely go down on weekends as my days off are limited. Until and unless it is deemed impossible for Mom to attend the wedding, I suppose we will go forth as planned. I havent spoken to Mom since yesterday morning. She is in ICU due to her other pending medical issues. She is a cardiac patient as well as a diabetic. Amazingly enough, her BP hasnt been elevated. So just like my Dad's heart sustained him for so long, Mom's heart will be ok.
Continued thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers.
