:( :(

Ok, for those of you who dont already know, my mom isnt in the best shape right now. Yesterday she went to the Urgent Care at the Eureka Hospital because she has been having really bad chest pains and she hasnt been able to breath very well. Blair went with her and I went to church and she was put on the prayer list. A couple days ago for the first time she told me she has COPD-Choronic Obstructive Pulmary Disease... Yesterday was the first time she told Blair about it. She also told me she has alot of other health problems that she hasnt told us kids about because she dont want us to worry. At church I asked. Mrs. Sours what COPD was. She told me a little but church was getting ready to start so we didnt really get to talk much about it. I did find out though that it is a group of long-term(choronic) lung disease that make it hard to breath. Airflow through the airways leading to and within the lungs is partically blocked resulting in difficulty breathing. As rhe disease gets worse breathing becomes and it may be hard to carry out everyday activities. It can be treated for, but it cant be cured. I got that there information off the internet....Well anyways...My mom was able to come home from the hospital last night around 7:00. She went in at about 4:00. She has a doctors appointment today. My Aunt Edna took her. My mom called me and told me that the doctors had her go to St. Fransis Hospital. She said she didnt know if they were going to admit her or not, but she said she would call me to let me know anything. That was at around 10:30 to 11:00 this morning. Its almost 2:00 now and I still havent herd anything back from them. I guess my Aunt is still with her at the hospital. Last night they told her if she didnt go into Urgent Care when she did it would of been to late and she would of had to be on a resporator. Thats all I really know right now, I will be sure to post more when I know more.
Also...In case any of you have been trying to get to Blairs blog, she has deleted it...
