It's been 2 weeks since Margo found
out for sure she's pregnant. she is 4 and a half months, She and
Daniel are so excited.
Every one has been checking on her, to make sure she is not over
doing. Joanne called her that morning with some exciting news.
she said, the construction company Bob works for has opened a
branch in Atlanta and wants Bob to be head engineer over the
construction crew ,it will mean a big pay raise, so Joanne won't
have to work unless she wants too. She said, Marilyn has asked
me to help her with the clinic. I know I am a ER nurse, but I'm
looking forward to the change and, Marilyn is so excited to have
some help with the clinic. Wow mom, that's great, and you will be
so much closer. to tell you the truth I will be so happy to have
you closer, So when the baby gets here you can teach me all
there is to raising kids. Joanne laughed and said ,we'll I'm not
an expert at it, but I'll be glad to help. Well since dad is going
to be working in Atlanta, and you'll be here at the clinic, where
are you guys going to live? Well ,I saw a sweet little place just outside of town that I
liked, it's jack Carlson's old place. He passed away about 3
months ago, and his daughter is selling it. I remember that
place ,said Margo. I went to school with his daughter, her name
is Beth isn't it? yes, that's her, she lost her mom a few
years ago in a car wreck, and jack just died about 3 months ago,
I think she said of cancer. wow that's a shame, said Margo, but
that is a cute house. there are 3 bedrooms so I can make one a Childs
room and dad a study out of the other one. oh, already planning
for a sleep over with grandma huh, said Margo and she laughed.
of course said Joanne, I can hardly wait .then she said I had
better get off here and get to work she said. ok mom goodbye
talk to you later, I love you.
Then
Margo went to check on
grandma Mary, she had been in the kitchen putting up some peas,
that
she and Margo had shelled. it reminded Margo of the time she and
grandma shelled peas ,the day she and Daniel met. She felt the
baby kick. she rubbed her belly and said, wow little one, you
have quite a punch, take it easy on mommy please. About that
time she reached the kitchen, but she didn't see grandma at first,
then as she was going around to the sink she saw her, she was
lying on her right side on the floor. Margo ran to the phone and
then to her grandmother as she dialed 911 she called out to Mary,
rubbing her face and hands. She checked for a pulse it was very
low, the ambulance said they would be there shortly. Margo hung
up the phone then called Dr Roberts. He said he would meet them
at the hospital. Then Margo called Marilyn and Misty at the
clinic, they said they would meet her at the hospital. Margo
sat beside grandma Mary and held her hand. Crying she said, ok
old woman, don't you dare leave me now, please I need you grandma. you
have to be here to see this baby come into the world. she sobbed
and prayed. grandma's eyes fluttered but Margo wasn't sure if
she could hear her or not. The paramedics arrived and Margo
hoped every thing would be okay. They were putting her in the
ambulance ,then the driver said, I am sorry Mrs. Rodgers it
doesn't look good ,we'll meet you at the hospital. Thanks
said Margo, I'll see you there. Margo grabbed her phone and
started out the door ,she thought I had better call mom back so
she got her cell phone and made the call .
Joanne knew right away
something was wrong she could tell by Margo's voice .Margo
stuttered a few times and Joanne said, Margo just tell me is it
mom? yes it is, I found her on the floor in the kitchen. she was unconscious.
They are taken her to Atlanta, I am so scared mom, what if she
don't make it ?Margo don't get stressed out, remember you are
pregnant call
Daniel so he can be with you, I'll catch the next plane out honey, just
tell her I'm coming, and I love her. Ok mom I'll tell her, see
you soon. Then she called Daniel, and he said he would meet her
at the hospital. She tried not to worry, but that was the
longest 2 hour ride she had ever taken . She pulled into the ER
parking lot of the hospital and parked. She sat there and prayed
that grandma would
be ok, then she went inside.
