More Memories

Prayer circles
I remember prayer circles, we had many.
Each day at any given time we would form a circle holding hands right there in the waiting room. Who ever was there visiting at the time was expected to join in.

The Doctors
Now we're not LDS but find that those in the Mormon community are giving, loving and supportive. The doctors would set a time each morning to meet with all of us, give up-dates and answer any questions. The one question I pondered was how did she contract this? They really couldn't put their finger on it.

Blu
Now before Mer ended up in the hospital she was in a relationship.
A strange relationship.
I really can't tell you much about it other than this guy was a doozy!
So, I met Blu at this time. He was about 25 and seemed loser-ish. I remember he wore 2 scary demon looking rings, one was a snake and the other an eyeball. I also remember he smuggled a sword into the hospital stuck down the leg of his pants.
Yeah a DOOZY!
I'm not sure when he stopped visiting Mer, but I do know it was after we told the staff he was NOT her fiancee, also after a controversy over who pulled out her feeding tube and something abut money she got from the government.

Asab and Courtney
Merrym's kids were a big concern of mine. I approached the hospital advocate about working on allowing the kids to come live with me, but we had no rights.

Home
I called home daily to give and get up-dates. Finding out at the end of the week that my son James had a allergic reaction to his IV meds, I knew it was time to head home.
What I didn't expect was my mom was heading home also. I was a little miffed. My mom and step dad had been retired for a few years. They lived in New Mexico with no real urgent home matters. But, my step dad said, "We got to get home and water our garden."
What?!
I always felt that the men in my mom's life were more important than her children. I was hurt for Mer. I felt if anyone should be there for her it should be mom.

We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not please ourselves. Each of us should please himself but, as it is written. "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me"
Romans 15:1-3

Love you Mer
