My Mom - Update

Firstly thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, beautiful comments, emails, phone calls and skype messages.  I truly appreciate each and every one of you.  You have been carrying me through this.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

My mom was moved from the ICU on Monday to the Surgical Ward.  She is still weak and struggles with the negative effects of the antibiotics, but she is positive and a bit more awake and alert.  She has started moving around and a physiotherapist is helping her with walking during the day.  I have been to her earlier this afternoon and she was very tired from the walking with the physio, but she still smiled and made some jokes.

I took Mouse in for the first time in more than a week, I tried to explain that Granny was still sleeping in her hospital bed, but you could see that it did affect her a bit, but I'm glad I did.  I think my mom really misses her.

I will keep you updated as to her progress.

Thank you and God bless!

Prayers needed...

It feels as if the year 2010 is our family's year to spend next to hospital beds.  My mom is very sick.  She has a serious infection after a minor operation and she needs your prayers.  She is very weak, and had to receive blood on two occasions already.  The infection is preventing her marrow from forming new red blood cells and therefor she needs blood on a regular basis.  She is on 3 different antibiotics to combat the infection and this also has side effects. 

Please keep her and my family in your prayers.  Pray for her for healing and strenght.

God bless.
