It is me, Mandy. Well my mom was feeling great, had two great days out and about. But this morning she was feeling very short of breath and her heart was racing. She ended up at the ER, and after many tests they determined that she has a blood clot in her lung. She is so glad that she didn't ignore her symptoms. They have admitted her to the hospital and are giving her blood thinners. They will also be doing more ultrasound testing to see if she has any more clots in her legs.
I saw her tonight and her spirits are up! She is hoping they will let her go home tomorrow. Dad is by her side, as always.
I feel like I am always asking you to pray for both of them...and I know you do. But please continue to lift them both up in prayer. Pray that God will make this clot dissolve and that their will be no other issues for her to face. Pray that her body stay strong for her chemo treatment next Wednesday and that she stay healthy during her hospitalization (we all know how germ infested hospitals can be!). Pray that Dad leans on us to help him with his caretaking of Mom, that he trusts that God will heal her from this disease and that he gets busy planning some great vacation for when mom finishes all her treatments and is cancer free.
My love to all of you,
Mandy
As often as we think of Rick & Kathy (and that is very often) prayers are immediately sent for a special healing touch along with His Peace though this challenging time!

I do not weary of prayer requests for your Mom. I want to pray through the specific challenges. I know she would do no less for me.
