In an Instant....

I bet everyone who reads this blog is wondering about the surgery.
 
    No surgery yet. Since my mom was admitted into the hospital last week, she has not been discharged. She was doing ok but her legs were still swollen and they wanted to keep her pain managed. Saturday I went to go spend a little time with her and she was doing good. She was talking and walking around. We were getting pretty excited that the day was coming soon! Sunday Rudy and I went again to visit for awhile and she was still doing alright. She talked with us but mentioned that she had threw up a little blood. She had thrown up blood before and I told her to make sure she let the nurse know what was going on. I also told her that I would make sure that my little brother came to see her the next day(Monday). I went home happy that things were going well and that we were one day closer to The Day.
    The next day I went to work and after I got off I picked up my brother and headed over to see my mom. We joked in the car and were pretty sure we were just going to say Hi and leave. Not the case at all.
    When we walked into her room she had IVs hooked up and was getting oxygen cause her stats were a little low. My grandma pulled us to the side and told us that she had been vomiting more blood, a lot more. Also that her heart rate was super high, 150s, and she had now developed a fever. So the Dr.s decided that they needed to stick a scope in her throat to find where she was bleeding. They finally got her fever down enough to do the procedure, so they whisked her off. We waited. And waited. Finally a nurse came in. She told us that we needed to get all of my mothers things together because she was not coming back to that room. She told us there was a complication and that after she left the recovery room that she would be going to ICU. My grandma and I went home and changed and ate, then we went straight back.
    When they finally let us see her it was a HUGE shock. She had been intubated, there was a tube in her nose going to her stomach, she was completely sedated. I never imagined seeing her like that. I was horrified. Then the nurse came in and filled us in on everything.
    They couldn't do the procedure.
    She had stopped breathing.
    Her fever was to high.
    No surgery.

    Today has been better. she had lots of love around her today. She finally got her fever down enough to get the procedure done which showed no active bleed!! So if she can stay stable for a few days they will be able to do the surgery!!  We have waited this long, a few more days shouldn't be that bad, right?

    Prayers, Prayers,Prayers. Good thoughts. Good vibes. However it is that you feel works. Please keep my mom in your thoughts. We need everything we can get.

    Thanks for reading.
