Talking with my son-in-law the other night was a very bittersweet experience. A range of emotions that is very unusual to have all at one time.
The conversation started out with me reading an email from him first. My mother apparently had a mini-stroke during the night and was sent from the emergicare center to the hospital. When I checked instant messaging to see if they were on the computer before I tried calling home, they were waiting for me.
In the middle of the conversation about my mother I saw the photo of Stirling with his Big Brother shirt on.
Yes - a wide range of emotions. Extreme joy following deep concern. Up and down, up and down throughout the whole conversation.
Today we got another email saying that the tests have come back and it was not a mini-stroke, but a full blown stroke. She is still in the hospital on blood thinners. Mom seems to be fine, just can't use her right hand 100%.
At this point I am not planning on flying home. Will wait for more information, tho, before I make that full decision.

Cindie,
We will be praying for God's peace and wisdom for you and recovery and strength for your Mom.
How exciting that you are a Grandma x 2 now, or is it Grandma squared?!? Either way, congratulations. God's timing is really interesting, isn't it. How kind that you got exciting news to help you through the difficult news.
