Mary is having another rough day. Day 14 of chemo is usually the hardest! She is still having major nausea issues and stomach pains. They took her earlier to a CT scan of her abdomen. Just received results that she has a small bowel obstruction in her small intestines. They called in the surgical team for precaution. We talked to them and they think that this is something that will pass. She is not allowed to eat or drink for a couple days in hopes that she passes this on her own. With her low platelet counts, we don't want this to worsen. We are going to pray that this subsides on its own.
Another issue today is that she has a blood pocket/clot on her uvula. This is making her have difficulty swallowing adding to her discomfort.
Please continue to pray for her to pass the bowel obstruction and for the uvula to heal. We don't need any excess bleeding due to her low platelet count. Also, tomorrow is the bone marrow test. We need to pray for no pain during the procedure and for good results. We won't know the results for a couple days. Lastly, pray for a good nights rest. Her sister Sue will be here with her tonight. Dad, David, Madi and I are getting ready to go home soon.
Thanks,
Amy
Mary, please know that we are praying for you. The kids include you every night in their prayers. We will petition the King tonight for all of these needs. We are all cheering for you and standing with you before the King. We are so sorry for the complications you are having. :( Remember, no one loves you more than God does.

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your family - lifting each of you up in prayer.
"Be still, and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."
Psalm 47:10-11

ReplyDeleteI want you to know what courageous people you all are. Mary is blessed to have such a loving family.
The strength you all have is evident in the time you take to update all of us on her condition. I sometimes view this sight two and three times a day - sometimes just re-read what you have written and other times just for the reality that my friend is in the hospital quit ill.
Your blog has brought many prayers by friends and families of all of us. You are prayed for by many churches and individuals. Without this blog, it would be impossible to get updates on your Mom - which helps us keep connected to her and her struggle.
I am thankful for this communication tool you have developed. You are all very special and I know that your Mom is very proud of you.
All of the prayers offered for your Mom will give her strength and bring her home soon.
God Bless You All,
Jill Steep
