My mom is awake! She has several broken bones and possibly internal bleeding. I don't know anything else right now

Tears of relief and thankfulness Jordan hang in there...as others have said you're doing great and that's a great sign mom is awake many prayers answered
Every 30 mins is good and don't take it personal if he's grumpy....he grumps for mom too he may be a bit spoiled if I were you...I would love on him...let him hide his head like he enjoys....do the things he likes...favorite scratch spots....then try the water...or juice that may help
Sending you lots of love and strength...you're doing amazing young lady ...mom's going to be so proud of you

The Peace of Wild Things
BY WENDELL BERRY
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Jordan, Your Mom and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Nancy in New York (03-16-2016), Shewhosweptforest (03-16-2016)
Jordan, I sent you a private message. Do you know how to check it, or can you figure it out? Praying for you & your mama.
Nancy in New York (03-16-2016), Shewhosweptforest (03-16-2016)
Jordan, thanks for the update about your mom. I'm so thankful to hear she's awake now. That's a really good sign.
Everyone on TSB loves your mom (and your entire family) and we want to help in any way that we can. We are here for you and mom. We will help you with Tumbleweed. Someone will be here. I'm praying for your mom and you too.
Nancy in New York (03-16-2016), Shewhosweptforest (03-16-2016)
Oh Jordan I had no idea your mother is in the hospital. I'm so so sorry! Positive thoughts for your entire family
Nancy in New York (03-16-2016), Shewhosweptforest (03-16-2016)
Many many prayers being lifted for your mom Jordan.
You are doing wonderfully with TW and as others stated, we are all here to help you with any questions you might have or help you might need. Your mom is a very special woman and she has raised a special daughter.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Remember to wash off any perfumes or colognes you might be wearing, as squirrels are sensitive to smells. Neutral is best.
You will do just fine with TW.
Prayers for your Mom.

You're doing a wonderful job taking care of sweet Tumbleweed

Praying for you Sara Praying for you also Jordan and your family.
I didn't think I was ever going to find this post tonight when I got back on here tonight! I just got off the phone with my grandma and my mom seems to be ok. She says my mom is talking to her about leaving. She's ready to go home. They just knew she had several broken bones when she was brought in but nothing is broken except some ribs. The bruising they saw is just bruises, there is no internal bleeding. She's basically fine except she will be sore and she's beat up. don't worry about tumbleweed, I got him to take his formula with block in it and he ate some yogurt too. He's drinking his water also

Jordan, your mama is one of a kind--she was helping someone and was injured. It's pretty apparent she's raising an exceptional daughter too. We love you all so much. You're doing a great job with TW. I guess he's the little soul who brought us all together. When you see your mom, tell her we love her and give her a kiss from us (very gingerly of course as she's likely pretty sore).

Jordan - I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear your mom is alright.
I am in the process of recovering from one broken bone (fibula) and surgery for plate and screws so I know how it feels to be beaten up. Your mom (who has several broken bones and probably a concussion) is the type of person to jump right back 100% even when she should start at 50% so help her pace herself!
Tell your mom how much we worried about her and how happy we are to hear that she will be alright in time.
