Bigrednz's Mum, (my mum in law) has been in hospital now for 9 days. Originally she went into hospital after having her legs go 'weak' and she fell. Nothing was broken and she spent the next few days trying to get her mobility back.
Sadly her health started to go down hill and they discovered she has an ulcer in her stomach that is bleeding. She is too frail for surgery and a do not resuscitate order has been place by the doctors as she would be in worse health.
All they can do is give her blood transfusions and hope that the ulcer will heal over. It has stopped once already but started again a few hours later.
Please think of bigrednz's Mum or if it is your way please pray.
Tonight I am going to sit with her and read Lord of the Rings to her. There is nothing more I can do. I am helpless as I watch a lady of great humour and intelligence who is very sick. This lovely lady has shown me more kindness and motherly love than my own mum. I selfishly want her here, at home with us, and for her to be well again.
My kids are a little freaked out. They don't know what to say or do.
bigrednz and I thank you for any thoughts and prayers for his Mum.
