My Mother

Please keep praying for her. One week ago she went to the nursing home for physical therapy. She stayed only two days and went back to the hospital. They put a pic line back in and put her back on antibiotics and steroids. She seems to get much better just overnight. Her one lung is better. The other lung looks like it did a month ago when she first came into the hospital. She had another biopsy on Monday. This time they went down her throat. They couldn't do the biopsy because her blood was too thin. They did flush the lung. She also is back on a full oxygen mask 24 hours a day. They can not keep the oxygen level in her blood up where is needs to be. Being in the hospital is affecting her mentally. She has been in too long.

Please pray for the doctors, that they would find out what is going wrong with her and they would figure out the right medicine to get rid of the pneumonia. Pray for the nurses caring for her. Pray for her that she would heal quickly. Pray for my Dad to have lots of patience and a good attitude. Pray that he doesn't get drug down in all of this. It is going to be a long winter for them.

Thanks for your prayers.
