Needed a release of emotions and WHAT BETTER WAY!

After being in the room the other day when they called the CPR on my mother, I need a release to tell her just how much she meant to me and scrapbooking helps me deal with stress (most times unless under pressure to finish a layout!!! LOL) so I did the layout which is a wonderful sketch by Cut Cardstock own NORMA KENNEDY!!
I am in love with Cardstock by Cut cardstock!! the colors are just wonderful!
Anyways my mother is doing better but today the are taking out the nasal feeding tube and doing surgery to put in a gtube (stomack feeding tube) since the nasal one has caused a sinus infection. SO please pray today! THANKS again! I love you all and totally believe that it is the prayers holding her up. I am trusting in my Savior and I know "His grace is sufficient"

Here is the Journaling:
These past days have been rough and I want you to know just how much I love you! I am so thankful you are my mother but also my best friend. I have enjoyed our times painting together and our times spent researching family but most of all just the time together. I love how you show so much love to my grandchildren. They are blessed to know you. You have taught me so many special things. Even the value of the old dishes we collect. When I saw this paper I immediately thought of your china and I even used a piece of it to trim the green cardstock! My love for you and respect for you grows deeper every day! I am so thankful that God gave me more days with you!

Today was not good at all!

But GOD answered prayer big time! We almost lost my mom to the point that her heart almost stopped and her bp bottomed out and the did cpr to help it circulate the meds but it never stopped!

She had problems during the night and this morning breathing and they found out why after the cpr! Her lung had a tear and now she has a chest tube and things are better! GOD IS SO GOOD! THank you all for continued prayer!

Never ever doubt the power of prayer!


Oh and bye the way congrats to my friends at http://www.Scrapcity.com for being back online! and I appreciate their prayers too!

More Good News!

Mom is responding well! They have her off all sedation and pain meds! they have been switching the ventilator to cpap machine and even to an hour of plain oxygen today with success!

Today she answered me by shaking her head yes and by moving her tongue!

The bad news is she is running a fever which they have found is coming from a central line (iv line they but in her neck area) she is on antibiotic x 2 days but not responding yet! So keep praying!

Here is a photo taken just about 5 days before she went in the hospital with my youngest grandson!

Sorry I did not update sooner!!!

This is my mom and my older brother in 1958~
two nights after returning from our last visit (sunday), I was flying back to S.C., my mom was on a ventilator and they had her fully sedatated and also paralized her (because she was still fighting the ventilator) she has finally come around to where they have stopped the paralitic and they have started reducing the sedation and are trying to wean her off the ventilator. at this time she is coughing and moves and thrashes in the bed which is hard to watch but does not react to us but they say she should fully recover to her her previous condition and even be a little better. She has Severe asthma and emphesema but when we were down helping them her and I went shopping together and even picked out some scrapbooking stuff for the album I am doing for her.

So prayers are still appreciated but I know that soon she will be back to her old self and yelling at us for letting them put that nasty tube down her throat!

GOD IS GOOD!

back from S.C. but my heart is there!!!

Prayers needed desprerately!
Hubby and Me and the grandsons Noah and Jason just took a trip to S.C. to help my parents get some stuff done around the house since my dads surgery~ Hubby did a lot of mowing and trimming and put a hand held shower in the bathroom for my mom. I moved my moms flower garden close to the house so my mom could still enjoy it!

we were able to see our oldest son and see our other grandson Britton while we were there and even get a few shots of the boys together. ( was not easy between the all the busy boys, hot weather and gnats!)

BUT WHILE WE WERE THERE MY MOM STARTED GETTING SICK, SHE HAS BAD ASTHMA AND COPD. THE DAY WE FLEW OUT MY DAD WAS GOING TO TAKE HER TO THE DOCTOR, BUT ENDED UP TAKING HER TO THE HOSPITAL.

THEY ENDED UP PUTTING HER ON A VENTILATOR AND SEDATING HER. I FOUND ALL THIS OUT JUST AS I LANDED IN OUR HOME AIRPORT. I TRIED TO GET A FLIGHT BACK RIGHT AWAY BUT COULD NOT. HERE ELECTROLYTES ARE MESSED UP AND SHE IS NOT PUTTING OUT URINE LIKE SHE SHOULD BUT THE DOCTORS ARE FEEL SURE SHE WILL COME OUT OF IT.

I FEEL PRAYER WILL MAKE SURE OF IT! SO PLEASE PRAY!

ALSO MY DAD IS A BASKET CASE! HE IS FALLING APART. I ALREADY FELT HE WAS DEPRESSED FROM THE SURGERY WHEN I WAS THERE SO HE COULD USE PRAYER TOO! tHANKS AGAIN!
