Mum's in hospital and it doesn't look good
11 years ago
General
3am this morning Dad and I had to get Mum taken to hospital by the ambulance services. The news isn't good. She suffered an aneurysm on her brain stem, quite a large one that's inoperable. The chances of recovery are smaller than slim to none and while she's presently in a medically induced coma in hospital, we've been told not to expect anything to change. After 3 days they remove the life support, though I'm not sure how exactly that works as she is still breathing for herself.
The whole family is distraught, this came out of nowhere. My Mum and Dad have been married for 35 years and together for just a bit longer. We're all hoping, even though we shouldn't, that some miracle or Mum's stubborness or anything will happen to pull her through. Collectively we know people that have died from this and people that have survived.
I have periods where I'm okay and I can function, and periods where I just crumple into a pile of tears because frankly, I have no idea what to do. Mum's my longest standing friend, we still had lots of adventures together and now it looks like all too soon it's set to be taken away.
She's only 58.
So for this reason I hope you'll all understand why I may find it difficult to work on commissions and other artwork.

Ask questions and see if there are other options for treatment available. Don't give up.
Found a few sites that might offer some additional info, if it might help some.

Take care.
grandmother died of a brain aneurysm when I was very
young, so I never really had any chance to know her.
It must be so much worse for you, because it's your
mother. If there is anything, anything at all
For now though, I seriously urge you to formally put all
commissions and other Furry related projects on indefinite
hold. This is the kind of situation where only a complete
idiot would refuse to give you all the space you so badly
need right now. I can't say it enough: Everyone will still
be here, after everything has calmed down again, even
if it takes a couple of months.
I'll pray for that miracle and for peace.
All you can do for now, is hang in there hope for the best.
