Here is the update:
Current News:
She is extremely sick, and she may not make it. She has peritonitis. The infection must have been there for a long time, and she ignored the symptoms. She's very stubborn, and hates listening to me when I direct her health wise, even though I'm usually not wrong. I don't speak up unless I am "sure" of issues like that.
She is on a breathing tube to "help" her breath. It was set at 65% oxygen, but was lowered as the nurse said there were minor improvements. No doubt it was because of all your prayers. She is on a number of medications, and is paralyzed by them. She is on high levels of Morphine every hour to help prevent pain from the surgery she had. If she hears anything I say, I'm positive that she can't process it with all the drugs running through her.
Prognosis:
The prognosis currently is not very good, and I'm not sure how I will handle the situation "if" things fall apart.
Me:
Many here don't "really" know me very well, and I'm not sure if thats a good or bad thing, but I will pull through this. I knew she was in the ICU as of last night, but it did not really hit me until around 4AM as to what that really meant. My body began to ache, and the symptoms which I usually tolerate do to my low blood sugar, seemed to increase 10 fold. I think my body was telling me before my mind was that I was truely stressed out.
I struggled to wake up feeling the same way I had at 4AM. I did'nt sleep well, and my symptoms were extremely painful. I just could not alleviate the stress. I went to work today as usual thinking everything would be fine, and then my father called me. He told me everything, and I broke down in tears in front of everyone while on the cell phone with him. I tried to cover my eyes, and just turn away, but the pain was incredible. I was on roller coaster of stress, and emotional chaos. I immediatly wiped my face clean when he hung up with me, and told the supervisor I "had" to leave. I was quiet, and reserved, and just made my way to the hospital with my GF beside me.
My Mom:
My mothers that peppy type. She's always helping others, and spends to little time taking care of herself. She's the youngest 55 year old women i've ever known. She's such a great person, and she always keeps up with me in conversation, as we both love to ramble back and forth. I just hope that my higher power's listening & hearing my prayers. A lot of people listen to me, but most don't really hear the meaning, and thats what got my mother into this situation.
I guess thats enough for now. I'm pretty embarresed for sharing this much. I'm usually logical, and introverted, but sometimes the weight of the world forces us to spit things like this out. They don't taste good, and certainly don't make us feel that great.

One that has never failed me:
Dear God, your Son Jesus has said "whatever you ask the Father in My name He shall grant you" -- In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, I ask that you bestow your blessing on the mother of Metallic Blue.
