So. Yeah. I'm like... alright now I guess. But anyway!
One of my biggest fears EVER is that during school I might get a call saying that my mom was in an accident or that she was hurt, or something of the like. Normally, I get a small panic attack about that once every month or so. This week, it happened every day during art. But today, almost at the end of class, my dad showed up at the door. So I excused myself and went to talk to him.
He said "Jessica, I'm here because your mom has had a bit of an 'episode'"
So of course, I immediately panic and start asking what happened, what was wrong, and if she was ok.
Evidently she'd spent all day in the emergency room because her nose started bleeding VERY badly and wouldn't stop. She has this.. thing... shoved up her nose now that's inflated so it puts pressure on the blood vessels. I'm really scared, because if something happens, I'll be here virtually alone with her, and we live 30 minutes outside of town.
They don't know WHY her nose started bleeding, and she's never had a nosebleed before in her life. So.. yeah. I'm an emotional wreck at the moment. And we have another project due tomorrow, and I'm freaking out so much I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish it.
Gah. Life. Sucks.
Anyway, just.. needed to rant about that.
Thanks for reading it, if you did.

Update
So. Last night.. at about... 11-ish? Mom's other nostril started gushing blood, so my brother flew here from the next town and picked us up. He took us to the ER, and thankfully she had the same doctor as before. He treated her as best he could, and he got the bleeding to stop by giving her a very small dosage of blood pressure medicine. So he told us that he'd arrange it so she could stay in the ER until about 5 this morning, and if the bleeding was stopped, she could be discharged.
I stayed with them until about 3:30 this morning, and my dad brought me back home and stayed with me while I slept. My sister went back to her house a while south of here, and my brother stayed with my mom. At 5, mom was discharged and sent home. My brother brought her here, and he stayed with us too.
And, a little less than an hour ago, Mom jumped out of bed because both nostrils were bleeding AGAIN. So they all got in the car and left, but they left me here because... I dunno why. They just did. I guess because I'm so tired, but they're tired too, damnit! I guess I'm kinda glad they didn't take me though... It was hard enough seeing her go through all this the first time.
I tried not to show that I was scared, because anxiety raises your blood pressure, and they thought that was what was causing it. But I did cry... I wasn't like bawling or anything, but I did cry a little when my sister got there.
We're all really worried. And we're all scared... Especially me. I've lived with her for 15 years, and never once has she been in the hospital for anything other than me breaking my leg and being attacked by a pit bull. Even then, that wasn't HER being admitted. That was ME. Please keep her in your prayers tonight.

Update #2
So! After five hours of no calls from anyone who went to the ER with my mother, my English teacher called me to make sure I was ok. That made my day - it's nice to know that someone inside your school cares about you that much, y'know? It made me feel special. I love you, Mrs. Tures! <3
Anyway. So I called my dad and asked what was going on. Turns out, Mom's in with a nose doctor right now, and it seems that a large blood vessel had gone boom in the very back of her nose. That's why nothing was stopping it; because what we were putting in there couldn't reach all the way. So now Dr. McGowan (her nose doctor.. thing..) is probing around in there (With Mom drugged/doped up) and is going to fix it!
So it's all good! Sorry for this very long rant, but it made me feel better to write it all down.
Thank you to all my friends who expressed their concern! (You know who you are).
<3
Your calls helped me make it through these 5 hours of waiting.

Update #3
Alrighty. So. This sucks. Officially. We were doing good up until about 20 minutes ago. Whatever Dr. McGowan did didn't work! Her nose started bleeding again, though it wasn't quite as bad as before, from what I saw. So my sister is currently rushing her back to CHC.
I'm tired of this! I want it to be over so my mommy can feel better! D:
I'll keep you posted, if only for my personal sanity.
