Dad called this morning to tell me they were at the ER in Centralia Providence hospital. Dad had taken Mom in the middle of the night. At that point they were giving her hydration and had taken a blood sample.
Dad called back around 11:00 AM to tell me that Mom's red, white and platelet counts were dangerously low and that they were discharging her from Centralia, so Dad could take her to be admitted at UWMC. She will need at least two additional blood transfusions and platelets.
Dad ran home to pack them a bag and then they will head up North.
They are very concerned with her counts so low and she is at huge risk of infection etc. right now.
Please pray for her protection from sickness, and that the new blood and platelets will turn things around quickly for her. They dread going up there again, but are doing what they have to, and most importantly, what is in the best interest of Mom right now. This is not great, but it is one more step she is taking with one more day and another giant down. She can beat this one too. She is brave and strong.
Please keep praying diligently.
We are grateful to each one of you.
With love and gratitude,
Kimberly and family
She is beautiful. She is brave. She is loved.

Putting her on the prayer chain as soon as I write this. I am like Ann.... I just do not understand why she is having this trouble because I know God is able. Sending lots of love and care toward Seattle.......... and prayers.
Ladeva, I am so sorry you are having such a time of things. We are praying for all God's peace, healing and rest for you.
Love,
Niki Scott
We're praying for you, sweet cousin--for God's healing hand to provide all the red and white blood cells you need to get well, for the mouth sores to be gone once and for all and that you will be protected from all infections. We can't be there with you in person but we're there with you in spirit. We love you. Karl and Candi
