TART The Sequel [TART 3]

Hospital...

MoRe ScHoOl DrAmA

At least now the teachers wanted to talk with each of us one-on-one to hear the whole story, so I guess that's a good thing

I had a talk with the school nurse only 30 minutes after I talked with the teachers about the whole Mal situation, and I lost track of time and ended up 20 minutes late for the talk lol

Mark ended up convincing me to go and walking me to the nurse's office, and he even waited for me until I was finished XD

I'm getting really sick of explaining all the drama now though

I have some bad news...

My dad picked me up from school and when I got in the car, the first thing my dad told me was "we might need to check up on your mom when we get home"

And then he said that he was trying to call 911 or drive her to the hospital but she kept insisting that she was fine

I was a nervous wreck the whole way home, and I rushed up the stairs to my mom and she looked fine at first. She saw that I was upset and I tried to talk with her, and that's when I noticed that something was wrong

She could barely talk. She was slurring with her words, she couldn't find the words she was looking for and her sentences weren't making any sense

So I instantly went to the bedroom and called 911 (or, the Norwegian equivalent to 911). I feel kinda bad for the girl who answered lol, I was such a wreck at first and could barely talk

But luckily an ambulance arrived and the paramedics checked out my mom. We don't know what's wrong yet, but they took her to a hospital about an hour away and are doing tests on her now. We're gonna call the hospital in about an hour to check up on her

I'm just really worried because I know that there's a lot of health issues that run through my mom's side of the family. They have a lot of heart issues, my grandma had dementia, my granddad had diabetes and cancer, my aunt had a stroke only a year or two ago, and that's only the health problems that I've heard of - there might be more

I know that my mom has had a high risk of diabetes and her cholesterol was really high for a while, but last time she had a check-up, she said that everything was alright and that her health is a lot better

I've spoken with my dad and sister a lot, and I've gotten a better picture of what was going on when she started getting weird. She and Hannah had a meeting with a psychiatrist because my sister's been having a lot of anxiety and OCD problems

Hannah told me that she spoke alone with someone while mom spoke alone with someone else, and when she came out, she saw that mom had been crying a lot

Hannah said that mom's speech started getting bad while she was driving home. It got really bad when they came home, and that's when dad started getting really worried

Dad tried to get info out of my mom, and the only thing he really got from her was that she had been talking about the whole situation with Earl Brian Bradley (the pervert pediatrician)

So I wonder if maybe my mom was feeling so much stress and anxiety, that when she started talking about something as traumatizing as what my family went through, her brain started to shut off

When the paramedics were talking with her, they were asking her what she was doing before her speech got all weird, and she physically could not talk about it. She ended up giving up trying to explain because the words just wouldn't come out

I hope and pray to God that this is only caused by anxiety and stress. I know that my mom feels a lot of stress, and I know that things have been really hard for her lately because she's constantly bombarded with work and she's had to travel a lot lately because of it, the whole drama between Mal and I have gotten her really worried, and I guess talking about past traumas was the last straw

I seriously don't know what I would do if I lost my mom

She's the one who's been comforting me through this year and she's the only reason why I survived it, I don't know what I would do if I lost her

One things for sure: I'm NEVER gonna bother her with my problems again. I can't get her even more stressed and worried than she already is

At least I got one good thing out of this: I actually called 911 (or, 113 over here) and spoke on the phone, and I'm terrified of talking on the phone. My mom's problems were bigger than my own, so I forced myself to call anyway

So yeah, we'll call in less than an hour to see what's going on. Hopefully my mom can come home tomorrow, but if not, we'll try to go visit her at the hospital if the weather isn't too bad. I'm not going to school tomorrow anyway

The only symptom (at least that I saw) was the speech problems, so hopefully it's nothing more serious than stress, anxiety or trauma
