Ginny, I just read this post for the first time since I was out of town for the weekend and am finally "catching up" with the board. I am so sorry to hear about all of this...we will join in with everyone else and continue to lift your family in prayer. Please know you're in our thoughts and keep us posted on everything whenever you can.
Take care and God bless you and your family.

Ginny--I am so sorry to hear about your parents. I just read your post for the first time today. I will definitely keep your mom in my prayers. God knows what is best and I will pray for you as well. Take care!!

You guys are the BEST! :love: :love: I came home to shower and try to nap a bit before heading back. Since I work out of the home, I told my sisters and brothers, "if you just give me time to shower, take in a couple of hours...I'll do the night shifts and days ~ they've got the swing shift hours. She's in the BEST trama hospital in Sacramento, great doctors, nurses, staff. The ambulance attendants came this morning to see her, that was unexpected and sweet of them. The fire dept staff yesterday (used the jaws of life to get Mom out). Even a couple of the Calif Highway Patrol officers came by. We are overwhelmed, yet touched by their kindness and concern...

Dad is FINE:love: ...he just worried about Mom. He's hanging in there and reliving the incident every minute of the day. I can tell he's not sleeping much, even though he says he is. It's going to take some time...this is the first time they've been apart in 56 years of marriage.

Mom....she's hanging in. Nothing much has changed. Still in a coma, but we're okay with that. We feel it's probably the best way for her body to heal. We talk and read to her all the time and occassionally I asked to her move her fingers if she can hear me...she DOES!!!! :love: So far, she's only done that with Robyn and I. We have her listening to her Japanese soap operas (I do too ) and music at times too. The grandkids have decorated her ICU room, really cute. They all come in and talk to her every night too. My DD, Robyn, has been AMAZING! She's come along with me to every visit and takes over reading, et. when I get tired. Giving Mom massages, etc. I'm so blessed to have an amazing daughter:thumbup: :thumbup: . Ryan's (son) work schedule has been crazy and he's feeling bad he's not able to be there more often. I tell him it's okay, but still doesn't sit well with him. So you can tell what INCREDIBLE grandparents my parents have been...they all want to be there for Mom/Dad.
My DH has been my ROCK. Without him, I don't think I would be handling this very well at all. He comes and insists my Dad takes walks outside (even though it was over 100 degrees) the other day...they walk and talk about everything BUT Mom...My DH is he best. Dad said to me this morning, "I love taking those walks with Robert. He's such a great friend to me and an awesome husband/father to you guys! You did good Gin"

Kacey ~ got your PM...thanks, just haven't had time to respond. I appreciate your words...Mom WILL come through! I needed that, thanks! Though I'm Buddhist, it's all the same!

Deb ~ I got your email...thanks for that too!

I'll try to update as I can...but sometimes, I just come home, shower and hit the bed. I'm truly blessed to have all you out there saying extra prayers for us. We appreciate it.

THANKS EVERYONE ! ! !

I am glad to hear how supportive your family is...that means so much during times like what you are going through. Keep strong, and know that we even when you aren't able to be on, we are thinking of you and praying for your Mom! You sound hopeful and positive, which is a good thing! Take care of yourself, and BE CAREFUL driving back and forth!! Make sure to eat and sleep enough...don't need you getting sick or in an accident, do we?

With lots of love and {{{HUGS}}}

Ginny - so sorry to read about the accident and your mother's injuries. it's a good sign that she responds to you and your sister - it means she has the will to live. that can overcome so very much. it sounds like she's also built up a lot of good karma - hope it can apply now.

please do keep us cheffers updated - as you can tell you are in many thoughts and prayers (including mine)

 

[PampChefJoy]

Ginny - like I told you on the phone this morning - call me if you need anything... I am right up the street and can do running around for you if you need it! Take care of yourself!

 

[ChefLisa]

Ginny,

I have been praying for all of you.

By what you have written I can tell your Mom and Dad are very much in love. You are so blessed to have them as role models for your marriage. Seems like you and your husband have a similar relationship. That is so beautiful.

Best wishes to your Mom for a speedy recovery and to you, your Dad and your entire family for the strength to get through each day.

Lisa

You are absolutely right Lisa...probably is a factor of why my DH and I wil be celebrating our 27th anniversary on Oct 10th this year!

AMAZING NEWS ! ! ! ! !

Mom's out of the coma! She woke up when my Dad was massaging her hands tonight! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad it was Dad there. I think it will help him feel better. We've been telling him it was because of HIM! Of course, the bad side is, she feeling the pain now. But almost the first things out of her mouth was "hurting means I'm healing." Yep Mom, you right!

Everyone is breathing a little easier tonight.

Just had to give you the update....gotta get back to her bedside now...(LOL, I ran to my car...drove a couple blocks where I knew I could access WIFI...on my laptop...back to the hospital before my Dad and brother go home...

Your prayers, well wishes, good thoughts...thanks ~ it worked! Keep them coming because I'm sure Mom has a long road ahead of her!

Yes I do Kris ~ all the grandkids are coming back to the hospital tonight to "see" her "up!" We just told them they only get a couple minutes because we don't want to tire her out ~ she still needs her rest.

 

[raebates]

Wow! That's great news! I'll keep praying for a full and speedy recovery.

 

[KellyTheChef]

Thank you, Jesus...for hearing our prayers!

Ginny- we will continue to lift her up for a quick recovery, and for help dealing with the pain and (I am sure) therapy to help her get back on her feet!

Such great news! Thanks for letting us know!

 

[legacypc46]

Great news to read this morning Ginny! More prayers heading your way.

 

[chefmeg]

so glad to "hear" the good news~continued prayers for a speedy recovery!

 

[BethCooks4U]

What great news! Continued prayers going your way. What a testament to her that she has such a loving family! Most any family would come together in a crisis but yours shows genuine love that shines through - a real blessing.

Take care of yourself. You need your rest too.
