My mom is recovering

Here is the update on my mom's situation. She was brought to the emergency room last Tuesday night. I drove from KC to North Platte, NE on Wed. She has had test after test since then. And her condition has went from possibly life threatening to stable.

She has been fighting an infection callled MRSA. This infection has nearly taken her life twice in the last year and a half. She had emergency open heart surgery in January 06 because the infection destroyed her heart valve. Then this January it showed up in her right hip area. Apparently the artificial hip had been the root of the infection. So in January of 07 they removed her hip and then have been giving her strong antibiotics to get rid of the infection completely so they can put in another new hip. But they have to be sure there is no remaining infection.

Basically she has been without a hip since January, ya four months of difficult living. We were all hoping that she was close to getting the OK and able to get the new hip. But last Tuesday she had been feeling the symptons she had felt the last two times the infection flared up. So they rushed her to the hospital. They are searching for the infection by running various tests. But she is feeling a lot better and things are looking very hopeful. She should come home on Monday.

My brother that has been taking care of her is having a surgery on Tuesday and will be recovering for a few weeks. So I will probably be in Nebraska for a few weeks. It looks like staying until the end of May might be the best. That would put me back in the house of prayer right when the 40 day fast begins to prepare us for 7/7/7.

That's a quick update for now...
