Everyone ... Dianne is out of town working, but she received an email from Tracey that I wanted to pass on to everyone. Please keep her and her family in yer thoughts and prayers. CHEERS! :>)DK
I just want to let you all know that mom was admitted to the hospital on Saturday because she was having difficulties breathing and had become very weak amd dehydrated due to not eating or drinking for 3 days. Once E/R stabilized her they admitted her to the hopsital and she has been in ICU ever since. They have mom on oxygen (she is requiring 90%) and they put a pick line in to run oxygen directly into her blood stream because she made the decision she will not go back on a ventelator machine. Mom's blood pressure is extremely low when she got to E/R it was some where around 55/30 so they had to put her on a medication that will help contract her heart in order to force her heart to pump out blood and they also have her on another medication to try and keep her blood pressure up, as of last night she was running about 85/45 so still not anywhere where it needs to be. Moms lungs are filled with fluid and she also has pnemonia and a major infection running through her body which is causing high fevers, last night she was at 103 for a couple of hours before they were able to bring it down. Last night we had just the most amazing nurse that lost her mom to a breast cancer battle when she was only 45 so she really took to mom and we were so fortunate that my mom is her only patient so she sat right next to her and just held her hand and promised us she would keep her comfortable to allow us to all go and get some sleep. My mom has told us all that she is not able to fight anymore that she is just too tired and she has just way too much going on and she is ready to go to heaven and that alot of people are waiting for her, last night she had us call her sister in Colorado so she could say good bye. Mom is being kept alive right now by life support drugs so she is resting comfortably and we are all just staying with her but we have all told her that we will be ok and we understand why she feels she can not fight anymore and we have all agreed that we do not want her to suffer anymore that she has been through way too much already. Thank you guys all for all the prayers and support because I know none of us would have made it through all of this without all of you in our lives! Love, Tracey, Debbie, David & Jen
