When you live 500 miles away from your family...

The last thing you want to see is an email at 4:30 pm saying your mother is in the ICU.
:-(....

She broke her foot about 10 days ago and has a 5-pound splint on her foot that's too heavy for her to walk around in.  Since another issue makes it nearly impossible for her to use crutches, she's been basically stuck on the living room couch for the last week.  Apparently all the laying down led to blood clots that moved up to her lungs.

Nothing makes you feel helpless like not being able to do a darn thing about it, or even able to GET there to be with them.
It looks like we're going on an Alaskan cruise in May!!!

Oh, Sarah, I'm so sorry!  Can you take any sick leave to be with her?  (FMLA allows for parental care)  Drop me a line or call if you need to.

Oh, hon, I'm so sorry.  My own parents have had health scares but at least I've been able to be with them.  Please keep us posted.
