50% Chance of Living....*tears*
Posted: 02-27-04 10:37am

Hey guys!!

Wanted to send you an update about my great-grandma. I told you guys yesterday to pray for her but I didn’t tell you how she has been and all that good stuff. I haven’t really had the time. Trying to catch up in school and stuff.

This is the whole story, I will try my hardest not to leave everything out. My great grandma who lives in the house behind us left for orlando, fl last month. She had never been down to see her son’s house and he has lived there for like 4 years, so they (her other son and her) decided to take a plane down for the week.

So she gets there and the first night she goes out to eat. She starts to have stomach pains and is hurting really bad. They suggest that she go to the hospital and get check out. Keep in mind this woman is like 80 something.

She goes to the doctors and finds out that she has a hornia that has forced her stomach into her chest. They had to do surgery to remove this hornia. In order to clean her up they had to staple her stomach to her abdoman wall.

Later she finds out that she has an infection (i forget the name) caused by not getting all of the nasty out when they did surgery.

So they went on to have to do another surgery to remove the infection.

After about a week and after she got off as much of the breathing machine she was released. Since her son in florida works she went to say with my grandpa, and her son in tennessee.

She gets to tennessee and is there a couple of days when she begin to have pains again. She goes to the hospital. This one being a small one, 50 rooms, in humbolt tennessee. She goes there and finds out that she now has phemonia and is not doing well.

Needless to say, today is 2-26-04 and she is still in the hospital. She has an infection in her blood lines, she doesn’t talk, they have tried to receive a living will and have started to obey by it, she is on 100% oxygen, she has phemonia, a yeast infection and this woman is like 80 years old.

Guys mostly all of my family is going down there, I am starting to really freak out. I am worried that everything isn’t going to be ok and I have not had to dea; with death in about 5 years. Why now in light of all the good? Please pray for her…

loads of love, stacie

as of february 27, 2004

my great grandma now has two blood infections one is called fungle and the other is called a staff infection. They are giving her a less than 50% chance to live. Please pray!!
