Mom is now on her regular dialysis schedule. She will have dialysis on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. She also had her pick-line put in today. This a more permanent IV which will allow them to draw blood and do IV treatments without having to move her IV every 3 days. She was starting to look like a pin cushion. 

She is still talking "goofy" for lack of a better word, but I think she may be feeling better. Still no improvement from her kidneys. Her heart rate was better today. So we will keep praying.

Situation Report

About a month ago, my Mom started having some trouble. She has always had some health problems, but was able to live a normal life. In February 2009, these health problems began to impact her to a greater degree. She began having problems with her heart rate and her breathing. She has had two procedures which were supposed to correct her heart rate and yet her heart rate is still abnormal. She has also been on oxygen since. March 1, 2009 we took her back to the hospital and she has had to remain there indefinitely. We have also had a complication. While she has been in the hospital, her kidney function has steadily declined until her kidneys have shut down. She has been put on dialysis for now. She has also been moved to Memorial Specialty Hospital so that they can care for her and hopefully get her going in the right direction. 

I hope this has helped to get you up to speed. Please continue to pray for her, specifically for her kidney function, heart rate and her breathing. Thank you again for your concern, her family appreciates it so much.

Introduction

Last year, I tried to start blogging. For those of you who don't know, it's a diary of one's life produced on the Internet. Well, the only person who regularly read my blog was my mother. So it wasn't a smashing success. Now she is in the hospital and cannot read my blog. So, I've decided to start a new blog dedicated to following her recovery. So many people have called, visited, sent flowers or cards, and most importantly prayed. We are so thankful to you for that. I've decided to start this blog so that those of you who are technically minded can follow her recovery, because I believe that she will recover.

Hebrews 11:1 says, "What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see." (NLT) I was thinking about this verse last night and to be honest, I can't see her recovery just yet. But I know that God is good and He has a purpose in all of this, even if I can't see it. But in faith, I've got to believe it.
