As many of you already know, my 91 year old mother, Frances, recently had a very serious heart attack. Through prayer and her will to live, and God's will, of course, she survived. Thank you to all who sent Light. It was a miracle that happened right before my eyes...She pulled out of it while I was standing there channeling your prayers.
But now the problem is different. She was placed into a nursing home to undergo cardio therapy, and (as the administration of the extended CARE facility calls it) "a little accident" occured to her there.
It seems my little tiny frail mother pulled a big huge wooden wardrobe chest down on top of herself which wasn't properly anchored to the wall in her room, and as a result, she has suffered a head injury which caused her to need 9 stitches, but that's the least of it. It caused a concussion, which led to vomitting and diarrhea, which lead to dehydration so bad that now she's in critical condition in the hospital again due to renal failure. Please pray for her and surround her in light, and visualize her whole and well.
When I tried to speak to my mother on the phone this morning, it was horrible what I heard on the phone. They gave her the phone and took her food, remarking that she hadn't eaten a bite. She kept dropping the phone...couldn't even hold it long enough to say hello. How could she hold a fork? Then she dropped it and was crying for help and they didn't respond. I was frantic...I called to see how she was and this is what I heard! Her speech was terribly, terribly slurred, and her voice was so very weak. I've never heard her sound so bad in my life.
I was terrified! She cried for help for ten minutes! I got my sister on the 3-way phone and had her call up to the desk. It still took them some time to come.
Then when I called the desk and spoke to the nurse asking what was the matter, the first nurse told me it was the concussion making her slur her words. She acted like it was all so routine!
She asked if I'd like to speak to the head nurse on my mother's case, and this woman denied...continually over and over to me...that there was a problem at all. She said my mother was simple tired after her little accident. I told them, noo...there was something more wrong than just that. Finally I got her to go in and check and let me hear again for myself on the phone with her in the room, and there was no denying that something was seriously wrong. So they called the doctor and now all of this...How could they let this happen to her?
They had just told us that her heart was doing so much better that they were planning to send her home this weekend! Now she's in critical condition fighting for her life due to the complications of their negligence. And you should hear them covering up!
You also should have seen how quickly they had a work crew into the nursing home anchoring all those wardrobes up to the wall!!! And not to give her enough water when she was vomitting and had diahrrhea...one day after a concussion...and then telling me things were fine...How many old people die in these places becazue of things they say are just fine? This isn't just fine! None of it is! And they act like it's all because she's old! Well, yeah! It hurts more when you have a big thing like that fall on your head when you're old, and when you throw up and get sick and there are nurses all over the place, you'd expect for someone to keep an eye on her condition! And when your speech is all slurred from dehydration you'd think they'd not argue with me about she sounded fine. I know my own mother's voice! Okay, I'm getting worked up and I need to focus on prayer. I'm asking for help, because I am having a very hard time staying centered myself, and I need you to pray for me, too, so I can help channel the Light you all send, and give her good Light of my own. My little light is flickering now. I'm working on staying focused on Good and centered in my position of strength and calmness within, but I'm having a pretty hard time of it now. I'm just trying to keep my head on straight, and align my Spirit with God. (I'm using flower remedies to help me with that, and healing music, and aromatherapy oils. I'm starting to calm down a bit.)
Flower remedies and friendship...that's a great combo for stress! Thanks, everybody, for being my friend, and thank you for praying right now. She's not even able to hardly talk, but she kept saying, "I love you," to me. I love her so very much.
If I'm not around very much right now for awhile, please all understand why.
Thank you all for your love and support... Vibraceous, ND
IMPORTANT AND WONDERFUL UPDATE!!! My Mom is doing MIRACULOUSLY better! Thank you all so much for your prayers!!!
I have been trying to post this update to you since last night, but for some reason I'm having a bit of a hard time with technical reasons of whatever sort, but my mom's doing better!!! Woo hoo!!!
She is so full of spunk and she's so receptive to prayer! I wish you could all meet her. She's the sweetest lady you'd want to know!
Plus she's the one who taught me about natural health in the first place...She started me out learning about apple cider vinegar and honey, and lecithin and kelp, and she made her own yogurt when I was just ten...and then she introduced me to spiritual healing at 12. She's a remarkable woman, my mom!
In the past 2 1/2 weeks she's overcome a massive heart attack in which the artery was 100% blocked, a head concussion and stitches, vomiting, diarrhea, nursing home neglect, dehydration, low blood pressure, and renal failure...I'd say that says a whole lot!!!
Love to you all, Vibraceous *turnheart*
THANK YOU SO MUCH AND PLEASE KEEP THE LIGHT SHINING FOR HER! I want her back home safe and sound!!! ~Vibe*love*

Thank God she is doing better Vibe! I've been offline for a couple of days and am so glad to hear about the improvement. I am mad that she was neglected, that happens all to often!

I am so happy your Mother is doing much better. And, you are right... this sort of thing happens way too often. I've been dealing w/so much of the same sort of thing with my 89-year-old Mother since last September. I finally refused to leave her alone in the hospital, which was a very good thing... otherwise, she would have died from neglect. It is extremely unfortunate that elderly people do not receive the respect they deserve when it comes to health care! I'm sending healing prayers your way.

Yesterday Mom had TWO lunches, got her hair washed, and had a physical therapy session! She's really, really doing so incredibly well! ANDDDDDDD...She still has her MIND intact! YAY!!! That has been such a huge concern of mine from the beginning! I've been working to keep her off meds that might make her lose touch with reality, and so far so good with all that!
She took a fall about a year and a half ago and broke her ankle. While in the hospital that time they gave her something that put her right out of her head. The doctors said it was dementia, and that she would never be right. They said she had been in dementia all along and her routine was all that had been holding her mind together, and with the accident, all of that slipped away.
WRONG!!! It was the pills! Got her off those, and she was very much FINE!!! My mom has problems remembering sometimes, but that's because she had a head injury before years ago. (She and I were the victims of a riot one time in the 60's and she got hit in the head with a rock...)
But other than the effects of the brain injury from that, her mind is sharp as a tack! I'm so grateful for that.
I'm a big believer in always looking to something other than "natural causes" whenever something with the body goes wrong. We're naturally meant to be well!
Thank you for all your support! I HOPE she'll be going home SOON!

Great news that she got better. She doubtless knows what she has in you, the support she needs now. You possess a lot of energy, you owe to love and belief. We all convey you more of it this way.

May the light, light your heart, may it ignite your fight until your loved one find the light to light their heart and burn with great joy, for now and the afterworld!

O Our loved ones are so precious to us, their a great need for us to care, and give of our time and love, the problem is that we are so very far away, nothing the light can't bring together. Hope all is well, sometimes pain hurts us much, but in the end it forms a powerful character in us, as you are, so that others can benefit from your love and understanding.
