Jane (David' mom, my mother-in-law) called around 10:30 this morning to tell me that her mother (David's grandma and Ethan's great-grandma) had a brain anuryism burst yesterday and had been in the hospital all night on life-support. According to what we have been told, she was in the kitchen sometime yesterday baking and dropped her glasses. As she bent over to pick them up, the anurysim burst. Her husband found her and quickly called 911. They were told late last night that there was no brain activity and there was nothing more they could do for her. They turned the machines off this afternoon around 1:00 p.m. and we received the call around 1:20 that she had passed. Needless to say, Jane is very upset. She has lost her son and now her mother, in less than a year and a half. Ethan and I will be picking her up around 4 a.m. and heading to Newark, New York to attend the viewing and funeral. We will be returning either Saturday or Sunday. Please keep us in your prayers as we make this trip. I am hoping that since we are leaving so early in the morning, that Ethan will sleep most of the way. A 12-13 hour trip can be extremely exhausting for a 1 year old. We made a trip to Michigan about 6-7 months ago and he did extremely well, but he's a little older now with the knowledge that he can move around!! Anyways, please say a prayer for us from time to time when you think about it. And please remember the family during this difficult time.
I'm glad you started a blog. I have alot of fun with mine and I love reading your mom's. I hope the trip goes ok. I know how it is travelling with small children...it can be rather exhausting at times. And I'll be praying you and your mother-in-law during this difficult time.
