The Kitchen Table

My Mom needs your prayers, please!!

12 years ago

Mom was out to dinner tonight with my brother and his wife and my other sister. She had chest pain, arm and back pain. Got very diaphoretic. They called 911 and got her to the hospital, sounds like she has a thoracoaortic aneurysm. That's what her father died of. I cannot get in touch with my partner to take over call for me, so I am frantic that I won't get there in time. Don't know if it will be treated medically or surgically. I was able to talk to her and tell her that I love her. Please, please send up your prayers for my dear sweet Mom, Joan.

You guys are wonderful! I talked to Gaile last night. She took Shelby to the opthalmologist again the other day. Thankfully, she is fine! No sign of any problem. The doctor doesn't feel she needs to be seen again for this potential problem, but Gaile said she will continue to take pictures of Shelby to see if the "glare" shows up again. The doctor Shelby has been seeing is well versed in this rare eye cancer, so we feel pretty confident she knows what she's doing. None of the more recent pictures of Shelby...and we've taken a lot of them...have shown the same reflection the Christmas Eve photos showed. Gaile is into photography and will be taking many pictures to see if it shows again. She is still nervous about this and will follow through on it. After a little while, I will mention she might take Shelby to yet another doctor...to be sure...just incase she isn't already planning to. I can't help but wonder...like a couple of you have mentioned...with all of the prayers going out for Shelby right away...could she have been healed before she even saw the doctor? Only God knows! The whole thing is very puzzling...no one but Shelby had that glare in their eyes, and there were a lot of other people in the pictures that night. Thank you all for the prayers. I'll never forget you for them! I love you all! ~Sandy~

I'm up late so would like to hear the latest if you want to talk. I know you have been on the go before this with your puppy ordeal and then taking your kids to school.
You must be exhausted as you enter into this new difficulty.
I hope you have positive news by now.
Hope you sleep tonight as you need to the fuel to think positively and hear what the docs are saying. I give you my prayers and energy.
