This morning when I hopped out of the shower I was crying. On my way to my doctor's appointment the tears continued to roll down my face. Before I got out of the car, I thanked God in advance for saving her young meaningful life. I even said, "Let it be me, Lord." Yes, my life is worth something but I don't have small children. I don't want to die or even be sick. But I would trade places if I could and that is exactly what I offered. As I sat in the waiting room, I continued to cry quietly.
I just received a call that my friend is going to be moved to another floor and will no longer be in the ICU. The bleeding on her brain has stopped and she is more responsive. A miracle? I don't know but I am grateful. There will be changes in her life because her vision is impaired and the doctor says it may take a year for full recovery. But she will have a life and that is what matters. A life to spend with her three small children, family and friends.
My heart is still broken and I will worry some. But I have stopped crying and hopefully I won't have to cry for her anymore. Thank God and I will continue to pray that she has a speedy, successful recovery.
