August 2, 2011
At approximately 11:30 a.m. on August 2, 2011, I was in the midst of cooking breakfast and the phone rang as soon as I began to fry the eggs. I didn't answer the phone at that moment because the eggs would have burned up. However, after I took the eggs from the skillet I looked on the caller ID and discovered that my mother had called. I dialed frantically to see what she wanted. I called at least 8-10 times and couldn't get her because obviously she didn't hear the phone. Finally, my mother called me and told me that her hearing was gone and she couldn't hear anything. So, immediately I put on my shoes in a flash. SaBria, one of the great grands said that she wanted to go with me to see how Snuke was doing, but when the other children didn't want to go then she changed her mind. I told her to follow her own mind next time no matter who goes or what is going on--"Do what you want to do." I got in the car and went to my mother's house to check on her. She lives about 5 minutes from me.
I saw some typing paper and I began to converse with her by writing and asking her questions. She began to cry and said that this has never happened to her before. I wrote her a note and hugged her and told her that everything would be alright and it was a blessing to be alive and that we could always write notes. " She laughed." She asked me to play something on the piano to see if she could hear it. She said that she didn't hear my playing. She told me that she wouldn't be able to go with the choir that evening to Amazing Grace Deliverance Church because she didn't want people to be asking her questions and she couldn't hear them. I respected her wishes. She turned the television in the kitchen up very loud and she said that she could hear it faintly.
I talked to my daughter, Sonja, on the phone and asked her what to do? What kind of doctor did we need to take her to? So, after talking to Sonja she came to my mother's house where she did several phone calls to medical facilities and she also talked to my sisters. Immediately, when my sisters from Baton Rouge, LA heard this fate they said that they will be there Wednesday to be with her also. Oh what love my mother draws!!! My daughter could not find anyone local to see my mother on Tuesday, but she did get an appointment for her for Thursday, August 4, 2011 in Mobile, Alabama at the Eye, Nose, and Ear doctor at 1:30 p.m.
I stayed with my mother at her house and did a few phone calls myself to let people know what was happening, plus I felt that she should not be left along because I did not know what was happening to her. It was now time for me to go and get dressed for Elder Georgia Nash Jackson's Revival Night at 7:00 p.m. in Pine Hill, Alabama and Epiphany Lutheran was the guest choir for Tuesday, August 2, 2011. I didn't trust leaving my mother alone, so I brought her to my daughter's house until my younger sister picked her up.
Thursday came and we loaded up 2 vehicles and went to Mobile, Alabama. I think that this was the first time that I've seen my mother with her hearing aid on, but she had them. She reported to two doctors--one was the medical doctor and the other one was the hearing doctor. The first doctor did a test and cleaned her ears. My mother said, "I thought I was going to have to stand up from that table." So I imagine that it was some pain. Afterwards, she went in to see the hearing doctor and hallelujah she came out and said that she could hear and the hearing aid was too loud. Praise the Lord!!!!!! The family was real thankful to God and we went out to Logan's Restaurant and celebrated. Praise the Lord His Wonders to Perform!!!!
