Hospital visit
Tonight, my siblings and I dropped off my 2nd eldest sis then visited our mom at the ICU.
My mom is doing significantly better since our last visit about 2 days ago when she was still on the ventilator.
She's off the ventilator now and is able to speak subtlety.
I held her hand and let her know that I loved her, and that she'll recover soon.
Since only 2 people were allowed at once, I had to go into another room with my 3 other siblings.
The nurse asked if we wanted anything to drink. I was like, do you have coffee? She affirmed me that there was coffee so I accepted.
I eventually go back to my mom's room with my eldest sister.
I had the look of concern and guilt in my eyes looking at my mom.
She looked so ill, and I felt so responsible.
She quietly spoke something. I came closer and she reiterated "It's okay, Alan".
I felt relived, I felt peace. It felt so beautiful to hear her speak my name again.
A little later, before we left I held her hand and told her that this too shall pass. I let her know that I loved her.
She is such a strong fighter.
I really do hope that she recovers from her leukemia. Earlier, I asked the nurse a whole bunch of questions. Her answers offered me some sort of optimism. I feel more reassured.
I hope for the best with my mom's healing.
I love you Mommy.
And reader, thanks for reading.
