Please Pray

Please pray for my Mom, I just got off the phone with my Dad and Wednesday night she hemhorraged from her stomach (from an ulcer) and lost 1/2 her blood volume. She is in respiratory ICU in Tennessee. Tomorrow they will scope her to see if the ulcer perforated or ate through the stomach lining into the intestine. She received 4 pints of blood today and she is currently in respiratory distress. She also currently has an infection, they think is respiratory related. Please pray and pray hard for her. She had a stroke about 3 years ago and is struggling with recovery from that, and has Multiple Sclerosis as well. She is 62, and my Dad is 74. He is her primary caregiver and I am the only child they have a relationship with. No support system at all. I will update here tomorrow. If I have to go to TN, I may need help getting Hannah off the bus until Carl can get here...as she has the LEAP Mon. Tues. and Wed. I don't want to leave her here, but if the prognosis is poor or if she has to have surgery, I will go.

I would be glad to help in anyway possible. If Hannah needs to come here until Carl gets home, she is more than welcome. Anything else you need, just say the word.

Let us know how your mom is doing when you can. I'm keeping her in my prayers.
