Hey Guys!
I've got a prayer request that I want to bring up with ya. I know that there's a forum for this, and I'm going to post in there also -- but this room has just become like one big family -- I realized a little while ago that hey, if I'm calling all of my family members to ask for their prayers, I can't leave out my CF family!
My mom is in the hospital right now recovering from an emergency surgery she had at about 3:00 tuesday morning. Turns out that part of her colon ruptured. They had no idea what was causing the pain, and after an X-ray showed an air bubble under the diaphragm, they knew they had to go in for exploratory surgery to figure out what was going on. Well, they found it and patched it. Since she had felt the pain immediately and gone to someone about it, it seems that she was saved from any sort of infection -- Praise the Lord!!
She's doing much better. She's having to stay in the hospital for 7-10 days. And while she's wiped out right now, I know that she'll be better soon. But she needs to go back in 6 months to have ANOTHER surgery to finish the job.
The request, obviously, is for prayers concerning her health: that God will heal her and bring her home soon. But also for her attitude. I'm starting to get concerned that she's going to get frustrated and angry at the situation. My mother is a strong woman of God, and I know that it won't waver her faith in Him. However, she is also a very active woman, and being in the hospital for a week or two is going to slow her down just a tad! I'm praying for her spirits to be lifted constantly and for her to find some sort of joy in this situation!
Thanks, guys. I feel the prayers already, and I really appreciate it! Y'all are awesome!!
In Him,
Anna
