oh poor you. sorry your mother scared you. glad it's not the worse she experienced.

yuppers, prayers are being said. I know this will be very hard if you're all alone (with nobody you've known for a long, long time). it certainly hurts. all of us will want to be there for you and support if something happens. let's not think of this as of right now and hope your mother will be home as a next step!

maybe you can crosspost this prayer request into general forum so you could get more thoughts/good vibes from dog people there. hugs to your mother & hang in there, brian!!
