Another Mom Update

Another update on my mother. She was taken back into Halifax on Tuesday afternoon from Kentville. Her thoracic cavity was filling with fluid and the felt she needed a chest tube put in. The Doctors in Kentville were not comfortable doing it. In the meantime my brother had to go back to Ottawa.

They took her into Halifax and put in the chest tube.  I called yesterday morning and they said she was in a bit of pain, but otherwise ok.   Things went very pear shaped from there.  I was contacted late in the afternoon to say that she had complained of a sore leg.  Her leg had turned black, which they felt was caused by a blood clot and there was concern that necrosis had set in.  They needed to do some tests, ie cat scan, and determine the extent of it and then would be operating to remove the clot, and possibly her leg.  Scary times.

My brother called me at about 1 am to say she had had a successful operation, they had removed the clot and she was back in her room, chatting to the nurses. No amputation needed.  They will be keeping her in there for a few days before sending her back to Kentville.

I am going into the city to see her this afternoon. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and happy thoughts.  I am hoping now that she has turned a corner and real healing can begin!

Update on my mother

New update on mom. Those of you who are my friends on Facebook will already know this, but there are many of you who are not, so this is just to keep you updated. Mom came home from the hospital on Friday. She was doing super well. My brother and I were super amazed at her progress. Unfortunately, she deteriorated overnight and by next morning was having mobility problems. By Saturday evening we made the decision to call in the paramedics and they came and they felt she would benefit from going to the local town hospital. She was taken there by ambulance. Once there they did X-rays and blood tests, and it was determined that she had had a heart episode/attack. She was then moved to a cardiac care unit in a larger hospital a bit further away. She is resting comfortably. We will know more today after we visit her a bit later on. Please continue to keep her in your happy thoughts and prayers. God bless you all, and many thanks.

Update on Mom

Working from my iPad here. I don't really know how to do photos with it and such, but did want to let you all know how Mum's operation went. She came through it well with no complications. They were able to get all of the cancer and she was able to come home from hospital today. She is coping well with any pain, and her oxygen levels are really good so she doesn't need any extra oxygen.

She has been greatly encouraged by the cards and letters and prayers, and has said once she is completely well she wants to thank each person personally.  I told her I have the best readers in the world, and I meant it with all of my heart.

You are all such a blessing to us all. Thank you so much for everything. Praying that her healing continues to go well. God bless you all.
