10:52 - It's my mom's birthday. She and my dad are taking a longer weekend to relax a bit. We speak on the phone for 13 minutes. She's been having strong pain in her head and neck in the past few days, but today it was a bit better.

16:25 - My dad calls. I instantly had a bad feeling about this. We don't talk often, and as I had talked to my mom earlier that same day, there would be no reason for him to call unless something's up. He tells me that mom collapsed out of nothing and they were flying her to the hospital in Göttingen (where I lived). It doesn't sound good. He sounds emotional. The only time I've ever seen him emotional like that was at his mother's funeral.

17:01 - Dad calls again. Mom arrived at the hospital. I leave the house quickly, even though it was obvious that it would take some hours before we would know anything.

I lean a lot on my friends throughout the next few days, weeks, and months. I don't know what I would have done without them. Every single conversation, every single hug, helped a little bit.

About a week after surgery, we finally talk to a doctor who has been seeing and caring for my mom for most of the week. She tells us that mom's stable, but things will take time, Potentially weeks and months. But she also tells us to be hopeful and optimistic. Mom is still young - she only turned 55 on the day of the incident. No pre-existing conditions.

The situation doesn't change much over the next few weeks. At some point, she "wakes up", though she's not responding to input and just stares into space. Occasionally, it feels like she's looking at us. But that's the extend of it. They move her to a rehab clinic further away, making it harder for us to visit.
