Please Pray for My Mother (vanity)

I wasn't going to bother anyone with a personal post, but I believe in the power of group prayers and I really need yours for my mother. She's 84 and has been in ICU since Friday. Two weeks ago she and my 93 year old dad both fell. He's healing and should be able to walk again before long, but my mom's frail, has been on oxygen for 10 years since her open heart surgery and has been struggling. Last week Dad called my sister and me to come up, saying she wasn't doing well. They live in the country and he's afraid if anything happened to her, he couldn't help her, so they decided to move to the nursing home in my hometown, at least for a few months until she gets stronger, so we got them settled. Four days later I got a call from the head nurse there that they were taking her downtown to get checked out at the local clinic. Doctor was on vacation all week, but the nurse practitioner said Mom had a urinary tract infection, and next thing I know, they took her by ambulance to the hospital in St. Joseph about 45 miles away. The doctor and his nurse there called each of us and asked about her having signed a DNR form at the nursing home! Her blood oxygen level was dangerously low and CO2 level too high. She also has really low blood pressure.

They've been having her wear a mask (like what people with sleep apnia wear) and she began responding better, but is still so weak and frail, and we need somehow to get her built back up. She has several IVs (two are strong antibiotics).

Anyway, my dad really needs her - she's still his sweetheart of 63 years. Thanks for your patience and if you would, please pray for her.

I really appreciate it! Linda

I wanted to give you an update on my mom. I believe all your loving prayers are helping her - they’re thinking of moving her out of ICU into a room today. I’ll be up there for a couple of days and taking Dad back and forth to visit her, but wanted to let you know and ask you to please keep remembering her in your prayers - her name is Donna.

Again, I treasure my FRiendship with you all, and will update you again soon. Bless you!

Lord, be near Linda’s parents in their hour of trial.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
