Two updates

Update #1

It's 5:00 and a Dr. just came to see Mom.
They feel that they should not wait until Monday or Tuesday to do the surgery, so she will go down for surgery in two hours. (7:00 pm )
They will go in through the groin and go to where the vein meets at the abdomen. It will lace up to just before the heart. This will be a filter that will help prevent any future blood clots.
Her leg is still really really swollen. It makes it difficult to walk, but she has walked three times today with a walker.
I gave her a "birdbath" and washed her hair in the sink since she can't shower yet. Next we played beauty parlor and put her makeup on for her. So, now she is ready for surgery!! :)
Dad is relieved because he was going to leave in a few hours to go home and sleep, but just couldn't bring himself to go yet. He would have been down the road a ways and would have had to turn around to come back. He is amazing. He dotes on her constantly. They are precious to watch.
Please pray for the Lord to direct the surgeon's hands. She will not go under general , but will be under a conscious sedation.
Thanks you for praying. I will update you after the surgery.
Love,
Kimberly

Update #2

Mom was supposed to go into surgery at 7pm.
They tried 8 times to get an iv started. (They took out her good one this morning)
After all the failed attempts, the Dr. in radiology took her back to use a doppler (ultrasound) to find a vein.
She has been sweet to all of them, but is bruised and sore in both hands and arms.
Please pray for:
1) Peace, comfort and a pain free experience for Mom.
2) Skill for the surgeon's hands.
3) Success in the outcome.
4) Comfort for my Dad.

Thank you all for prayer and support.
We love and appreciate you all.
