Prayers please

Today I called my mom at work, we talk to each other a minimum of about 2-3 times a day and her bosses wife answers the phone and says she shouldn’t say anything but my dad had to take her to the hospital.

So I call my dad, call the hospital, no answers, I am freaking out a bit.  Finally I get in touch with a patient advocate and they find them and have them call me back….of course I had to worry a few hours waiting.

In the meantime, I passed time talking with my sil talking, she tells me our other sil has a growth on her brain (which we knew…newly discovered a few weeks ago) anyway, the growth has doubled since then, so they are sending her to Ann Arbor.

While I was talking to her my mother called me and said she was okay and feeling better, she got some sharp pains and then started vomiting.  She did this in Alaska but she thought it was food poisoning.  She hasn’t felt good for a while and has openly said something has been going on and I have been nagging her to get it taken care of.  She wanted to put it off until after her half marathon she is running in October.  She is training a group of runners for this race.

Anyway, she was waiting to get an MRI.

My dad called later saying the MRI or catscan looking good and it sounded like she would be heading home soon, so I was a bit relieved.

Then around 5, my mom calls crying and it turns out she has a bowel obstuction and will be in the hospital a few days.  They were trying to (ignore my non-doctor language) vacuum the food out but nothing seemed to be coming out.  My dad popped over our house later and said they think it might be scar tissue from her gastric bypass (in 2002).  If they don’t get the blockage resolved soon she will have to have surgery and I guess anytime they mess with the bowels it could be bad.

Anyway, please, please, please keep her in your prayers along with my sister in law Tracie.  I am a nervous wreck!
