Mother in law back in the hospital

Got a call late last night that my mother in law is in the hospital with a blood clot or re-ruptured spleen…in PUERTO RICO >_< ... We need your prayers, especially since none of us can just drop our lives and fly to PR any time soon. She and my father in law were due back in USA proper this Thursday coming. Now, I don't know what is going to happen.

UPDATE (5:25pm) they found water in her lungs and a mass behind her ribs. they may have to operate. there is no more bleeding or clots, but they found those things and a severe bladder infection.


Grandmom surgery postponed till Wednesday

Okay, they sent her home with no real reason why. They were like “well we dont do the surgery on the weekends, no point in you taking up a bed” .. but then they say WAIT TILL WEDNESDAY? How long are their weekends? I could swear that it was only Saturday and Sunday. If they had just done the surgery when they were supposed to, this wouldn’t be happening. I have to trust that God has a plan in all this waiting, that there is some higher reason we don’t know about as to why they keep putting off this “urgent” surgery. I know one thing, Grandmom will need to look into Vegas vacations after all this is over, so she can go take a powder for a while. I feel bad for her more for the ups and downs of waiting right now than anything. My in-laws return on Thursday of next week, so they are really hoping that the surgery is no longer postponed. It’s the whole reason they took this emergency trip over to Puerto Rico in the first place!


Dear Miss Wendy

I loved you very much. I prayed for you when you got sick. I was so happy to see you the last time we were around for that small party at my sister in law’s house. I was heartened by the fact that you could sit up and talk to people, tho you looked so frail and small in that chair. I remember getting you a drink of water because you asked. I loved that I could do something for you, to make you more comfortable there. Now you are gone, and I can’t believe it. This fowl beast stomach cancer has stolen another friend from me. I am glad that you are no longer suffering, only to leave us here to suffer in the absence of your sweet presence. We all loved you dearly, and we know that we will see you again.

Love you forever my dear friend…

ps say hi to my grandmom when you see her there, you and she will get along great.


Update on Grandmom

They postponed the operation to tomorrow. *sigh* Please continue to pray for her … she is at peace and knows that God is with her in this time of struggle. We all appreciate your continued spiritual support.


watching a movie with the fam

Tonight we are going to watch Speed Racer as a family. I love family nights. No one judging you. No one is getting on another’s nerves. No one is saying you look fat and need diet pills… just good old fashioned loving fun. I am drinking a lovely cup of caffeine coffee and having a nice night. My sister, who is a huge Speed Racer fan loved the movie, so I guess it’s got to be good. Gnite to all my lovely readers. <3 !!

MIL still in the hospital

We went to visit my mom in law last night. Apparently, they have moved her but she is still on the pending surgery floors. The doctors are unsure as to whether or not they are going to just remove the spleen completely. It is causing her huge amounts of pain, but the blood counts look good so they think that the spleen is healed. She cannot walk very well right now, so the doctors are looking for improvement in that before they make a decision to pull the spleen or leave it. UGH! Waiting sucks. All she wants to do is to be able to go home and rest in her own bed, but I am glad that they aren’t rushing her out of the hospital. Pray for her and my father in law, who has been by her side most of the time. He is really worried about her. It’s so sweet…
