Everyone was quietly in bed at 10:00.
Soon thereafter I got the first call.
My 78-year-old mom was coughing up blood and being flown from Roswell to Albuquerque.
By 4 a.m. she was having emergency surgery to repair two tears in her left lung, in danger of bleeding out at any time.
After four hours of surgery, they gave up on repairing the second tear and planned to go back in this afternoon.
By 4 p.m. she had stabilized and apparently the other tear is healing on its own. She is on a breathing tube and heavily sedated, therefore content and resting.
We will see what tomorrow holds.
A trip to New Mexico is in our near future.
