Yesterday was an awful day for my Mom. They transported her by ambulance down the street and when Grannie got to the emergency department, they refused to let her in. No advocates for adult patients. The most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Poor Mom, she went the whole day without food and water. Grannie spent the whole day sitting outside the hospital waiting and we never got an update. I spent most the day on hold with the hospital trying to get updates and still, 36 hours after her being brought to the ED, I haven’t spoke with a doctor.
The only update I can really give you guys is to please pray for her platelets, INR and liver. Pray that her Platelets would rise, her INR lower and her liver be healed. I’m honestly at a loss of what is causing this to happen. I need the doctors to find the answer. I need the Lord to give them the wisdom they need to diagnose and treat her. I need the Lord to slow their minds and make them aware and alert of her illness.
Mom is struggling with being alone. It’s so sad. She’s not your typical adult. She’s very sick and ever since her initial complications, she’s not able to be independent. She feels very helpless. On top of all that, the low platelets and high INR are causing her to have some pretty serious confusion. She will look at you one minute and be clear as day and the next say something completely off the wall. It’s crazy and frustrating for her and us. Please pray for her mind and ask the Lord to fill her with peace.
I’m also going to ask you to pray for me. I don’t often ask this, but I’m really struggling. I’m scared, mad, tired and honestly just overwhelmed. I need my Mom so bad. It’s been more than 6 weeks since she’s been home in Baton Rouge. Six weeks without my Mom and my kids Lollie. We miss her dearly. We can’t live without her. My heart is broken for her and our family. Lord, please let this nightmare end. Please heal Mom.
Lastly, I want to ask you to also pray for my sweet friend’s Dad, Mr. Ralph Walker. He’s been in the hospital fighting for his life for 2 weeks now. He was diagnosed with COVID and is on a ventilator. Like Mom, he needs a miracle. He needs the Lord to heal his lungs, heart and kidneys. He needs strength to continue to fight and like our family, his family needs a renewed peace that surpasses all understanding. His family is my family and the last few weeks have been hard for all of us. When so much like this is going on it’s easy to get discouraged and ask why? Why does this have to happen to two families that I personally think are two of the most faith filled families I know. I actually had that exact thought tonight and as soon as I thought it, it was answered for me. Because we are surrounded by an armor that can withstand it. We have Jesus. We have the faith, hope and love He brings. Just when the devil tries to convince me that we can’t survive the storm... I remind him that We are the storm and we are storming heavens gates with Praise knowing and believing that what we have asked for has already been done.
Addie sorry that happened to your mom. Yes no one is allowed in the ER. I think they should have at least one person with the patient. Hopefully the doctors will find out the problem. You and your family live your life in Jesus.
