WendyJ Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hello my friends, I am so stressed and scared beyond belief. My mother was taken into the hospital yesterday and to make a long story short she has multiple blood clots in her lungs, a swollen lymph node and fluid around her heart. She will be undergoing surgery at 7:30 am to try to remove some of the fluid. I wish you guys could be with me for support, guys I cant handle this so soon after losing my Steve, it's only been 6 months, I can't take much more. I am so scared I will lose her too! Please say a prayer for her (Marcia) that God will keep her in his hands and protect her and make her better. I am so scared my friends !Love You guys,Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyJ Posted September 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Oh my dear friends thank you so much for all your prayers, please keep them coming. She is in CCU now, they drained the fluid and blood from around her heart today and they put an umbrella type device in to keep any more clots from going to her lungs. We are waiting on results but they are now thinking Lymphoma. I have never seen my mother like this, and I am struggling through this but so far I have been stronger than I thought and I know it is from all the love and prayers from you my dear friends. I miss you all and will keep in touch as soon as I can.I love you my friends,Wendy P.S. Someone please reming William to take his meds while I am gone !

WendyJ Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Good Evening my dear friends, you have no idea how much I miss you all ! Please keep your prayers coming, they do seem to be helping. Tonight they took her out of CCU and took her to PCU which means they think she is improving some. Then again who knows maybe the insurance company insisted on it, you know how they can be ! She seemed alittle better tonight, when I left she was having some pain in her heart but they believe it is because they drained all the fluid from around her heart which gave it some cushioning. They are still waiting for results to find out what is causing this all, but at least for now she is somewhat stable. Well I need to get some sleep as I am so afraid of that phone ringing during the night. Please remember I love you all and will keep you informed. Oh and thanks for reminding William to take his meds !Love,Wendy P.S. William it is 12:00....did you take your meds today??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenb Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 There will be no "phone call." She and you are in God's hands and he knows all. We love you and pray for you and your mother.Your friend, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyJ Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hey my wonderful friends I am just giving a quick report for the night and then taking a shower and getting some sleep. SHe was doing better this afternoon but tonight, not so much. They made her sit in a chair and walk to the bathroom to make her lungs do some work and I think it really pooped her out. They took out some of the tubes but she is still having alot of chest pain. Probably either tomorrow or Weds they will have her results, please pray that it is not as serious as it could be for me ? I really love you guys and miss you alot ! WILLIAM !!! I am very upset with you my dear friend. Look, you and I are approaching 7 months, and we are both going thru hell and we miss our spouses very much but I am going thru another hell right now and the least you can do is take your meds and write to this group when you are feeling down instead of disapearing and making us worry ! We all perfectly understand what you are feeling and I for one have to remember my meds too, but I have realized that if I do, I feel even worse and can't handle things as well as with my meds. Believe me I have been taking extra meds the last week just to get through almost losing my Mom. Now young man you start behaving or I am getting on a plane and coming out to Arizona and kick your butt. ( then again you guys like that sort of stuff...hehehe) Really my friend you be good okay?Ilove you guys,Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyJ Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hey everyone, just a quick note, just back from the Hospital and need to eat dinner (12 midnight no less) and then I am going to bed. They drained 2 1/4 liters of fluid tonight from around her lungs ! They should have a cause tomorrow but the doctors still suspect it will either be Lymphoma or Lupus. Please keep the prayers coming for her (Marcia)I am so tired and so drained sometimes I go to bed and forget to pray ! Hehehe Yes I can be a toughie when it comes to men, don't forget I am the only woman that works with 50 guys so I am used to it. They are there for me in a heartbeat when I need them but watch out if they don't do something important, I let them have it. With William we just care too much and he makes us worry ( bad boy). Speaking of which William take your meds ! Till tomorrow.......Love You,Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenb Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'm praying for you both....God does work miracles, and one is coming up for you. Please take care, get some rest, and let your mother know that all kinds of prayers are out there for her.LU....Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallyn Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Wendy,You both are in my thoughts and prayers, prayer perhaps happens even when you are exhausted, the Holy spirit prays in your behalf I apologize for my behavior, I am used to dealing with everything internally since I am alone here, yes you taught my ego a lesson. Such comfort knowing someone cares, take care William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyJ Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) William,Yes I do care, very much. You and I are very close on our anniversary of our losses and we seem to have many of the same feelings. Alot of us here have made some special friendships I believe that hopefully will last and I get nervous when we don't hear from eachother that is why even if I can only post a quick message I make sure I post something. You are my friend as are alot of people here and are always in my thoughts and prayers. My Mom is alittle better today but still very weak, no diagnosis yet, they are having a hard time pin pointing a cause, talk more tomorrow my friends !
