Prayer request for my DIL and family
As many of you know, my DIL's mother has been in hospice care for about 4 months now. Today has been a very painful day. She has had 6 shots of morphine and is still in pain. Apparently, gangrene has set into her arm. Tomorrow morning they are going to have emergency surgery, probably to amputate her arm. She is very sick and has no immune system, so there is no telling how successful the surgery will be. Prayers for her. Prayers for Oleta as she faces these obstacles in her life. Let her be a strong Christian woman. She has been very strong thus far, I am just afraid of what will happen to her in the future.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
UPDATE: Oleta's mother's condition has worsened. At the hospital, the doctors said there is absolutely nothing they can do. They could find no reason to keep her in the hospital. Amuptation is not an option because she would not survive an operation. Skin graft not an option because she has no skin they can use.
She is now home, because she has been on hospice care. The hospital can find no reason to keep her, and they really did try. They called in 6 different specialists on Sunday afternoon. Cardiovascular, skin graft, plastic surgery, orthopedic, etc. All said the same thing. Anything they do would probably cause her to die. So the only thing to do is wait. And meanwhile, she suffers in pain. I know their hands are tied, but it just doesn't seen right. They even took xrays of her bones to see if there was an infection in her bones. They said if there was, they could treat her with antibiotics and therefore let her stay at the hospital. But, no infection so, as I said, she is home.
