***CALLING ALL PRAYER WARRIORS***
I have not been on the boards lately. It seems as though the bottom has fell out lately. There has been a number of things going on for me. Starting last Thurs. my Momma~law who is 76, was admitted in the hospital for pneumonia. Once they had her in a room they found that she was dehydrated, and had some abnormalities showing in her chest x-ray along with the middle lobe of her left lung had collapsed. She has had emphazemia for the past ten years so to say the lest we were concerned. She pulled through it all and was released on Tuesday. However, My Aunt is now in the hospital in Athens. I am going to Ennis, this weekend to go with my Dad to see her. This is where I need your prayers...
See she was living with her Son and has for the past 15 years. She is 82 years old. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance on Tuesday. She is in ICU. Here is the run-down of what is going on with her. They had to give her 3 units of blood on Wens. and another yesterday. She has 6 large ulcers in her stomach and was extremely malnurished and dehydrated. This is due to the fact that my cousin who is in his 60's and his wife have not been feeding or giving her anything to drink, with the expection of taking her meds. she was given a small amount of water. Her organs had begun to shut down and her eye sight is falling her now. The state is involved now, Thank God for that, and they are checking in the fact of why she was not feed for over two and a half weeks and little to drink for three. It wasn't even the family that called the paramedics...it was the new girl-friend of my cousin that was so scared after helping her up after a fall in the bathroom she thought that my Aunt was dieing. My Aunt, when she comes out of the hospital will go into a rehab center, and from there move in with my Dad. I am so upset with the situation that I sat in prayer and cryed for most of the day yesterday. She really needs our prayers!!!!!
I know that God will never give us more than we can handle. However, sometimes Big D and I think He has more confidence in us than we have.
Thxs and sorry this is so long.

Shannon you have my prayers. I am so sad that people do not attend to elderly people. They seem to forget they are around. I will pray for her to recover and for you and your dad to have the strength to handle all of this. I know she will get better care while she is with you. May God Bless you and your family I am praying for your mom as well. Sarah T
Shannon,
You have my prayes & thoughts going out to you and your family. My mother is 82 so I understand how you feel. Thank God, she is healthy,
but, what you have just explained, is VERY SCARY, that we have so many
elderly people that don't get the right care. I hope she can regain all
of her strength quickly and you are able to give her a big hug very soon.
Hang in There! God is in you court.
