I woke up around 7 am and found my dad's message on my phone saying they brought Mom to the hospital at two in the morning. Naturally, I got so worried and was frantic talking to my old man telling him that I will go to them the soonest. He was calm and informed me that mother is doing well and there's nothing serious so no need to worry. In circumstances like this, I'm usually the one with mom at the hospital but this time, Dad and my brother will be spending the day there so my hospital shift will be tomorrow.
I always put my phone on airplane mode when I go to bed so I was also worried they might have been calling me during the night but he said they didn't. I think they considered the time and waited until seven to let me know.
Mom had not been having a good sleep for a long while that she is losing weight. She was prescribed with some sleep-inducing medicines and supplements but for some reason, she just can't sleep better. During the night, she would be up and walking around their living room or sitting by their fireplace burning wood and nibbling on some snacks. We did various remedies like changing her milk to limiting her water intake on evenings to giving her massages before bed and others. Still, my old man says none seems to be working.
During the day time, we would shut all their windows to control the noise coming from the outside thinking it might help her. I was teasing her last week that her mind might be so active elsewhere and she needs to quiet it down so she can have a longer and better snooze. She said she isn't thinking anything at all, just that sleep is elusive to her for as long as she can remember. The old man agreed saying she's insomniac and have been that way ever since. She takes naps which at least helps but a good, long 5,6 or 7 hours sleep at night is a luxury that she seems to be chasing but can't have.
I was on the phone with my brother a little while ago and he informed me that she is okay. Her blood pressure has been stabilized and further tests are being done. "It's good that we brought her here, she might be able to sleep better," my bro jokingly said. The news made me restless and I'm going out for a little walk, hopefully to calm my nerves.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Many thanks, Eka. She suffered mild strokes and been on diapers for almost a year. Her insomnia got worse these recent months that at times, she gets annoyed at herself for not being able to sleep.
I am sorry to hear that sista.
I know it can be hard to take care of our loved ones.
But I think she knows that she is surrounded by a loving family.
Ohhh don't worry farm girl your mom will feel better soon and also take good sleep.
Much love and prayers ❤️🤗
Thank you Lesly. Hope she will be better soon. I appreciate your love and prayes.

My pleasure ☺️
I'm glad that the blood pressure is okay now
Also, learn to put your phone on vibration instead of airplane mode because of days like this.
Thank you. All is well. Will have to do that indeed.

Wow the weight of helping a close family member with health challenges is real.
I know you are full of worry but realize that this time is a gift to you to do as you will. I have missed some of these moments with my mother before her passing and know they will never be available again.
Here’s to the return of sleep and being surrounded by caring family!
Yes, that's true. These times are precious. Being able to do things while they are around is a gift indeed. Thank you, thank you.

Glad to know that she's okay already sis.. As a child, it truly freak us out whenever we heard a bad news about our parents...your mother might just need some rest...
Salamuch sis. Hopefully she can have better sleep at the hospital. Will be checking on her tomorrow.

Sending you lots of love and I will say a little prayer for your Mom's speedy recovery. Perhaps a blessing that this time your dad and your brother took care of things... and left you to sleep. I'm so sorry that she has health challenges. I went through it with my Mom too...
It's not easy as a family member to see our loved ones struggling. Has your Mom ever tried taking Melatonin to help her sleep? With her complex health issues, you definitely need to discuss with her doctor first but if she is able to take it without contra-indications then it may help her to fall asleep at night. I know a number of people that it has helped. Thinking of you and your family, CJ. 😘 !LUV !ALIVE

It does my heart good to know she is okay for now. I will keep her and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Those late night and early morning phone calls like that are scary for sure.
Thank you, Joe. I appreciate it. And that's true, it can be really scary.

Have been where you are before CJ
Big hugs and you stay fit and healthy for when your mum needs you...
Thank you, Tito Ed. Things are looking good. Mum's going home today, yay!
That is brilliant to hear CJ :)
Am chuffed for you all.
Salamuch :) Home now at last.
I'm so happy she's feeling better. And your dad was so thoughtful to let you sleep. Such a wonderful family. I wish she sleeps better and doesn't have need to chase it anymore.🥺
Sending my thoughts and prayers.🌸
Hopefully, Tessa. I feel sorry for her not being able to enjoy a good sleep. Many thanks for your kind thoughts and prayers.

You're welcome. Could you please tell us when she's fully recovered?
Since her blood pressure is stabilized, there's really nothing to worry about. She'll be fine. Generally, when you're not able to have a sound sleep for many days or weeks, it takes its toll on your health. After having enough rest in the hospital, she'll be so much better. So, please calm down.
Have you thought about this? The only reason your brother was able to joke with you about it is because your mom is fine. That should rest your mind.
Thank you for that and yes, I was calm during the day. Just had to let my thoughts out through writing this in the morning.

Good to know she is feeling better and even though the topic assured me that she's is doing better, I read the article with fear.
She will definitely be fine and able to sleep soundly, you deserve the walk, I just returned from mine. Its almost 7am here, good morning.
Many thanks, George. Glad you had your walk. It's a good exercise and clears the mind of clutters hehe
Musta na sya? Hoping okay na.
Uwi na sya today :) Thanks

Restless nights without sleep would put anyone's health on the outs. I hope she is mending!
