Default Prayers for my Mom
My mom has been sick for quite some time and she is back in the hospital again. This time with double pneumonia. She is 90 - 91 in May. She has COPD, asthma, chronic bronchitis and high blood pressure....I guess at her age, that's not too bad.

Anyway, she was admitted to the hospital on Friday with double pneumonia and she's pretty sick this time. She has also edema in both legs. Not sure what is causing that, but probably complications from the pneumonia and sitting in her chair and not keeping her legs elevated as she's supposed to do.

She's on IV antibiotics - avelox, and probably a couple of other meds to decrease the fluid in her lungs and treat the edema. She's been on 4 litres of oxygen for about 2 years.

My sister is keeping me posted on her progress and I will call her daily for updates. She lives just outside Tulsa so it's not an easy trip for me. I was just down there right after Christmas and this is the 2nd time she's been in the hospital since then.

Also keep my sister on your prayer list too as she is the one who has to take care of my mom. No one else is there to help her. My brother refuses to help when Mom gets sick. Mom should have been admitted to the hospital earlier this week, but my brother wouldn't return her phone calls while my sister was out of town. Family...sometimes you just want to smack 'em.

I'm saying lots of prayers for your Mom, your sister and you. I know what it's like to care for an elderly parent - not an easy job at all. I hope she gets stronger each day and that you can find a way to pay a visit soon.

Wishing you peace.

((((((((Cheryl, mom & sister)))))))))

I do pray she will be well cared for and make a good recovery.

praying too that your sister will be able to rest up some now, and that the bro will have an attitude makeover!!

Cheryl,

Your mother and sister are in my prayers. You especially are in my prayers, unable to right there with them. God be with you all.
