My mother had her second open heart surgery within a year a few weeks ago, today she got put back in the hospital because she has fluid collecting in her lungs and around her heart. They have told her she is going to need a heart transplant and she is refusing, I have begged and pleaded with her to change her mind but she won't budge on it. She has reached a really high amount on her 1 million cap for insurance already and well heart transplants are a million plus. She doesnt want her family to be in financial ruins just for her to live. Its breaking my heart, I dont want her to die, I want her to keep her crazy ass right here with me until she grows old.I know that sounds so damn selfish but jesus i want her to be around for her grandchildren and children. She's never been a quiter and for her to just be so adamant about not doing this kind of shocks me :(  I understand why though, She doesnt want my dad to lose everything they worked so hard for, I cant afford to pay bills of that size either. I have no problem paying for her bills if they need help ( we are better off financaly) but that bill will be astronomical. Ugh i feel so bad because i want her to do this for her family, I just dont want to lose my best friend. *sigh* its one of those days. Im extremely emotional, upset, Need my husband to be home everythings just piling up. I love her so much but im trying to understand, Guess thats all i can do be understanding and support her decision.

Wow, this is one of the most heartbreaking situations, I am so sorry that this is all happening. I can not imagine being faced with this decision, I pray for your mom, and for you my dear. It's just not right when these situations have to involve money......life is so much more precious, I hope that you and your family feel the love and comfort that God surrounds you with, I am here if you need to talk or want someone to pray with you. Many hugs to you. GodSpeed!!
