Default My Mom's in very serious danger - please pray for her

My Mom has to have emergency brain surgery tonight - she is in very serious danger. Please pray hard for her tonight. She needs angels watching over her right now.

Thank you very much everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Please continue to pray very hard for her. The doctors feel that she's dying right now. We visted from 11 to 1 Eastern and when we were leaving her heart rate had climbed all the way up to 160 beats per minute and her blood pressure then became very high. Her kidneys aren't working the way they should be. If (and when, I hope) she makes it to Monday, they're planning to do a test to establish whether or not she meets the criteria for brain death.

This has officially become a dire situation. Please pray very hard for her over the next few days. They say that medical Miracles happen every day.

My own mother recently survived being in critical condition (ICU for 8 days- and then in a regular room for almost 3 weeks)- septic shock, kidney failure and a white blood cell count of 26,000+. She's now recovering in a skilled nursing home until she's strong enough to come home. The doctors were in absolute shock that she survived. Miracles *do* happen. Stay strong and keep praying.

Oh man...I am so sorry. I am praying hard for your mother...I really, really hope she makes it through this. Medical miracles *definitely* happen, and I hope so much she is one of them.

Hang in there...you and your family are in many peoples' thoughts.

I am praying so hard for you right now. I lost my mom a few months ago, and I have never experienced so many loved ones having health problems before.

I listen to this song almost every morning.....

And when she walked in the room
After so many years,
He looked up and saw her
He was standing at the crossroads
She was moving in slow motion
Everything was the same,
Except that everything was different

In that very moment, everyone was silent
And everyone was friendly,
For the first time in years,
Everyone was smiling
Though their pain was apparent
and the floor was wet and slippery
With the tracks of their tears

And then I see someone standing
At the side of the stage
Not standing in the shadows
I see her face
Glowing in the darkness
In her own angel way
"I have come to make you better,
I have come to take you away."


No one slipped and fell
This time, everyone was steady
Someone held my arm so that
I would not fall
For the first time, in a long time
Everyone was ready
No one said a word
And that simply said it all

And then I see someone standing
At the side of the stage
Not standing in the shadows
I see her face
Glowing in the darkness
In her own angel way
"I have come to make you better,
I have come...to take you away."

I’ll make you better

Walking through the room together
In suspended animation...
No one saw us go... no one said goodbye
But in my heart, I leave
Great expectations
That you will find the answers
to your questions
And that life will once more...
be a celebration...
and that you will be touched by an Angel
and that you will be touched by an Angel
and that you will be touched by an Angel

Celebration
Someday
Someday, Someday
Celebration


Love to you, your mother, and your family.

Adam

the same would have happened for me, I would have been joyful....But of course most Ledgies remember March 2005 for me.

Still sending you my thoughts...
