Visit with Mom today went very well; she was very talkative and peaceful.
She is still scheduled for PELVIS surgery tomorrow!
By the way, the reason she is back in ICU is because of a "pulmonary embolism" (which is the name I was forgetting yesterday). Like I said, this happened on Friday after her leg surgery, and it is the second time it has happened. It is a blood clot (in the lungs I think) which apparently lead to a collapsed lung. Although a very dangerous thing, they have caught it right away both times, and she is okay.
Please pray for her tomorrow; this will be a LONG and complicated surgery.
Each time she has surgery, they have to stop her meds. Stopping her blood-thinner has cause these embolisms. Pray that she will not have a third one.
Pray for peace; she said she was very anxious and lonely after surgery on Friday.
This pelvis surgery is actually the reason they took her to HUP, so please pray for success. We are so grateful that they can do it soon, rather than in several weeks (which was the original plan).
Still no word on the next step for Mom; Dad and the doctors will be working through that soon.

Sorry to hear of another set back but I Praise God that Ruth is at HUD and getting such great care. Praying for your Mom especially as she goes into this surgery and for the doctor's hands to be guided by our Lord. Thank you for the updates, Naomi, you are all in my prayers, dear. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteBig day today and we will be praying for Ruth throughout the day. "The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge and we shall not be moved." Psalm 46
