Cotton Cloudiness & Shades Of Gray

Have you ever spent a day feeling like you ate cotton and you're stumbling around in a haze, your brain doesn't work clearly, and you feel like a truck ran over you? Now I'm not a drinker, but maybe a hang-over gives you the same feeling:(
This "fogginess" comes after spending the night camping in a hospital room where "the light is always on".

My dear mama is struggling to survive a fall resulting in a bleed in her brain. Her chances are 50/50 at this point. Her life will change a 100%. She will never go back to Carolina House where she has resided for 4 & 1/2 years (& was treated well), a place where many people cared for her. The next stage, nursing care, will most likely begin Monday.
I pray this season will be one of less frustration for her, that she will not suffer with bits and pieces of memory that sometimes brought her to tears to think her mama wouldn't let her come home (this from a letter she wrote a few years ago to her mama pleading to be allowed to return home, asking forgiveness for whatever she had done wrong) or that her brothers had died and no one told her:( Hopefully the future will be more peaceful.

She has been sleeping contentedly, and has not been agitated during this crisis. My sister sat and sang to her today and prayed with her. How precious is that:) My brother is pitching his "tent" with Mama tonight, then again Sunday evening, and I'll get another turn to stay Saturday evening.

The nurses are as kind and caring as can be--such a soothing balm during a difficult time:) I also have a dear co-worker who has already offered to work for me Monday if necessary. Each act of kindness, each prayer, and each email of caring/thoughtfulness is a sweet, sweet gift.

And the cloudiness & shades of gray will gradually disappear, and we will see through a dark mirror clearly.
