Feb. 06, 2010 was the day she passed away. My mom had a stroke on July 15, 2009 and got sent to San Francisco for a month. Then they transfer her to another city called Visila, from there she was in a sub acute care for five months.
The cause of her stroke was that she had high blood pressure and there was too much blood in her brain. The doctor there said that she had to get an incision in her neck, because she couldn’t breathe on her own, so she had a tube going through her neck for her oxygen which was called a trache,
To help her breathe.
Every two weeks I would go see her because of the distance and work it was hard to be by her side. But every time I’m there I always tell her I love her and to be strong and one day she will come back home. I’m her oldest daughter, she has three kids in all including me.
It was going well until that morning at 1:34 on Feb. 06, 2010, the nurse had called and I had a feeling it wasn’t good because no one calls in the morning. The nurse told me that my mom pulled her oxygen out from her neck and she couldn’t breathe. The last time they checked up on her was at 12 in the morning, then at 12:30 they came in her room. she turned blue and they did CPR, but she didn’t come back. The reason of her death was because she had no oxygen. When the nurse told me what happened, I just started crying and yelling then I left to my dads house, it was an hour away.
I didn’t know how to tell my daughter that her grandma is gone, my daughter is only two and she loves her grandma so much. The last time I visit my mom
Was Jan 28, 2010, and I told her I’ll come back in a week and that I love her. That Saturday on Feb. 06, 2010 was the day she passed away and that same day, I’m suppose to go see her, and now she is gone, it hurts so much. I just want to know why she did it or is it an accident maybe she was sleeping and accidentally pulled it out. I don’t know but she will always be in my heart until the day I die.
I love you mommy.
