I&#8217;m still alive. So is my Mom I&#8217;m happy to report. I&#8217;ve spent the last few days living at the ICU in a Shreveport, Louisiana, hospital, along with my brothers and their families and assorted cousins.</p>
<p>My Mom knocked on Heaven&#8217;s door, but they said: &#8220;Go away and come back later.&#8221;</p>
<p>The doctors officially said she turned the corner, but she remains in ICU. My older brother, my cousins, and I will be alternating hospital duty until further notice. I&#8217;m just having to work mine around the medical appointments for my daughter.  So today I&#8217;m scheduling who will be at the hospital when. Tomorrow, I pack, and Monday I drive 4 1/2 hours back to Shreveport for my turn.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be taking my laptop back since I found out the ICU has free WiFi so I can work, email, etc.  So feel free to comment or email.</p>
<p><strong>Takeaway Truth</strong></p>
<p>Life throws a mean curve ball sometimes.</p>
