Waiting...

Today I woke up with a powerful migraine. Maybe I'm stressed out? Anyway, Steve (my brother) went over to the hospital this morning to speak with the doctor. He ended up talking to the Nurse Practioner (same one as last stay) and then I went over a little later and spoke with her. According to the report from x-ray, there is a good possibility there is a partial bowel obstuction. They are treating Mama with IV medication for 24 hours and nothing by mouth to rest her bowels.

So....sometime tomorrow we will re-evaulate. They'll see what the medication does and probably do a CT scan of her abdomen. If there is a an obstruction, surgery is the only way to correct it. Can she endure or survive another surgery? And, if we don't do surgery? She will die for sure.

So, we are waiting and trusting and most of all praying for comfort for our Mama, for God's wisdom for us in the decisions ahead.
