So Thankful

Phone Call...It's my son-in-law Jason. "Mom can you come to Colorado?" "Alisha is in the hospital, her blood pressure is over the top and she has to stay in the hospital bed. I have got to get some rest and she wants you".
Sometimes no one else can make it okay, except MOM. I have been there myself. Prayers needed prayed. My daughter was a High Risk Pregnancy. My job had to work without me and my PTO time was needed immediately. Steve was ready getting my ticket on hold for when the time was right for me to leave.
Mixed emotions, with beth due very soon and having to leave was difficult. My daughter in law Beth was fixing to have my 1st grand baby girl, but my daughter needed me. Beth said you need to go and when you get back you will get plenty of time with her.
Leaving the State of texas to Snowy cold Colorado I was off. I took $100 cash, and when I got to the airport my ride was the cab. Never have I been in a cab much less know what to expect. Well the driver taking the longest way to the hospital and $72.00 later, I made it.
Alisha was so tired of all the tests and blood work, also no rest. They were trying to get the blood pressure down. Having a baby is a miracle in it's self. it takes so much tole on the mother's body, not including how scarey it is.
So with my daughter being monitered for safety of her life, we were being told the baby was okay. The doctor siad if the complications affect the baby, right now the mother's helath was priority. For sure we didin't want any of this. Just Fix It!!!
Today I cna't remember how long I was there day and night, but it was great spending time with my daughter.
it's 11.11.04 The doctor had planned to take the baby to see if Alisha's blood pressure would drop. He was 2 months from due date, but Alisha was a severe risk.
