Not so good news from the hospital today. Mom's kidney function is deteriorating...they are about to do a procedure to place a catheter in her kidney in order for them to start dialysis. They are hoping that by doing it now that it will only need to be temporary but the doctors cannot promise anything. Dad has been praying about it and has made the decision to move forward knowing that mom may be angry at him if its something she's got to be on for the rest of her life. All of the doctors, however, even the cardiologist, think this is the best route.

The procedure will take about an hour so prayers are definitely needed at this time.

Doing this should improve her kidney function in order to help pass the fluid through her body to remove the pneumonia. They have gotten a lot of the "junk" as my dad calls it, out but her body is currently just having to work too hard to do it on her own.

Dad will call me again in a few hours and I will post an update at that time.

Thanks in advance for all of the continued love, prayers, and support!!

Please say a prayer for my mom. She was taken to the hospital early this morning and the verdict is pneumonia. She's currently in the ICU, hopefully to be moved to a regular room by tomorrow as long as she responds well enough to the meds. She had an echocardiogram done on her heart and everything looks good there. The doctors did confirm though that she'll be there through the end of the year. Please pray for her comfort as she currently has an intubation tube in her throat, which she HATES! Thank goodness she knows a little sign language. In advance - thank you for the prayers and good thoughts! I know she'll appreciate them!! Please also say a quick prayer for my dad. He seems to go into Superman mode during times like these and be a strong hero for all of us girls and forgets that he also needs to take care of himself. We love you daddy...just be there for mom...we'll take care of each other. Adding comments from Facebook:
