Late Tuesday

Tuesday evening 11:45 PM

Mom had an ultrasound this morning at Providence hospital in Centralia to rule out a clot. None was found. She then took another ambulance ride to UWMC where she was admitted and an x-ray was done. Nothing was found.
Dad and my cousin Julie were with Mom so I went up after dinner. When I got there, they were just getting her ready to take her to radiology for a CT scan. We didn’t get results tonight, but don’t expect to until a Dr. can read it sometime tomorrow. (We hope)
Mom is still scheduled for the filter removal at 8:30 AM tomorrow. (Wed. 5.21)
Julie drove back to Fife to stay with her brother Mike. (Thank you Julie. I know today was exhausting for you. It was a blessing having you there) Carmen is at the hospital and spending the night so she can be there with Dad while Mom goes into surgery and is sleeping in Mom’s room tonight. (Hope you got a good couch in the waiting room Dad. I know how that goes.)
Mom was comfortable tonight while on the pain meds. It hurts for her to walk or get up. Please pray that we get an answer tomorrow. I know Mom is fretting whenever she has a pain somewhere else that it could be another area that cancer has taken up residence. We do not want to be ruled by fear, but it is a human reaction. Not knowing can be scary.

1) Please pray for the CT scan to reveal the problem and to present a solution.
2) Please pray for the filter removal surgery tomorrow.(Wed)
3) Please pray peace over Mom.
4) Please pray for wisdom for all medical staff involved.
5) Please pray that Mom stays comfortable.
6) Please pray for complete healing.

Thank you Aunt Donna for all your love, time and care of Mom in the last few days. She loved having you and Julie there and I know it was a comfort to Dad when he was trying to decide if he should call an ambulance or not. Two/three heads are better. Thank you also for sharing the “healing quilt” with Mom. What a beautiful quilt it turned out to be. (Long story short, a quilt was made from squares that belonged to great grandma. (Mom’s Mom) and it is not going to any one of the 7 kids or innumerable grandkids. It will be passed to the one who needs to be “covered” in love, prayer, comfort etc.) It’s beautiful and so is the thought and purpose behind the quilt. I know you felt that the Lord placed that on your heart. It is so beautiful. (Um, is it bad if I don’t want to take a turn having it?)
Thank you Julie, for your gift of love, time, service, and tenderness to Mom. You were a salve to her heart.
It was thoughtful of you to bring both the blanket and the quilt from home for her. The blanket you gave her is so soft and beautiful. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in packing it and the quilt for the hospital stay. I know she loves having a few things from home. As all of her time is spent in bed, it was a perfect choice.
Will update the blog tomorrow after the filter surgery and hopefully we will have a result from the CT scan.
Thank you for your continued prayers and love.
