Talk about a week of opposite extremes.
Immediately after Emma's birth on Wednesday afternoon, mrs tg and I hit the road to MD to spend Thanksgiving with her family. We'd been pretty well planning on that even before her mom entered the hospital last Saturday, and were trying to figure out our logistics with our daughter's labor scheduled to be induced starting Wednesday morning. We stayed long enough to see Emma and take a couple pictures, but haven't held her yet, as they were trying to get her temperature up and so had her wrapped up and bundling against her momma.
Back here, mrs tg's mom wasn't doing so well. Weakened by the chemo, she apparently picked up an infection that she wasn't doing well fighting off. When we arrived she was pretty thoroughly sedated, to keep her comfortable with the ventilator tube in place. But she had increasing difficulty with her blood pressure and heart rate, and went home to the Lord yesterday afternoon.
She'd been in such pain, and had been so weak, but she's free from all that now. Rejoice in the Lord's love, Mom.
prayers are with you all.
