I told y'all earlier about a conversation with my friend. She left me in suspense by telling me she needed to tell me something and didn't answer when I asked if it was bad.
It was bad...From my title I am sure you guessed that. Her mother is in the ICU from overdosing on drugs. Yesterday her mother was on a ventilator.
My friend asked if I would go to the hospital with her. I know her mother as well. I agreed to go of course.
Please understand I have never been around drugs in my life, never tried them and I have never seen anyone on them. I had no idea what to expect or what I was walking in to. I was shocked. She was strapped down to the bed. The nurses said she's a danger to herself and others.
Her mom was seeing things that weren't there, she thought I was a spy 
, she called her daughter the wrong name, she thought there was a bomb in the room and when we walked out to speak with a nurse she was yelling at people that weren't in the room. 
Needless to say I was really sad for my friend and her mother. I cannot imagine seeing my mother like that... My friend was in a really bad way, and I just hope she's going to be okay too.
For those of you who pray, please do so for their family. And now I have to try to "unsee" what I just saw...

@LovingMyBabies I can imagine that it wasn't easy for you. It must have been worse for your friend.

@dodo19 She said she's used to seeing her mom like that, since it's been going on for 20 something years but I don't think you can get used to seeing your mother like that...

@LovingMyBabies That's awful :-( I was hoping it would be a wakeup call for her. Very sad for her family.

@shaggin My friend said this is about the 50th time this has happened so we doubt she will ever get clean.

@LovingMyBabies It must have been a shock for you when you saw your friend's mother at the hospital.It is better that she will be removed to a psychiatrical hospital.Your friend can't cope with her at home.

@silvermist It was shocking. I have seen her when she was sober so I wasn't expecting what I walked in to.

It sounds like her mom was inhaling bath salts @LovingMyBabies . People don't realize how deadly that is. I sure hope her mom gets the help she needs; it's not going to be easy on any of the family.

@nanette64 It could have been that, I don't know. It is so sad that she keeps doing this over and over. She's hurting the family so much.

@Juliaacv I went for my friend, to be her comfort but I wasn't prepared at all for what I saw. I had no idea... Thank you for the prayers.

How sad for your friend and her mom. I'll be praying God will intervene and deliver her from those addictions.
