Last week, my mom came to the hospital with chest pain and struggling to breath. One of her stents around her heart (something to help unclog arteries) was 95% blocked. She has a problem with scar tissue filling up the stent and clogging it, and it was again filled up with scar tissue. After her surgery, she seemed to be fine and stable. We were talking about movies we were going to watch when suddenly she began to cry from sudden pain. After an awful few nights & multiple blood transfusions & time in the Coronary Care Unit (ICU for heart patients) she started to do much better. Her problem was that she had internal bleeding, and her kidneys were struggling to process the dye used during her surgery. She was doing fine once again today and up and walking, but because she took her blood thinners again it made her internal bleeding start again. So now she will be getting some more blood (she gets so much I feel like she is going to pull a Bella from Twilight and start sipping it out of a solo cup). Hopefully giving her blood without the blood thinners will stop all the bleeding again.
But the best thing I feel that can be done (and the only thing I can do to help) is ask for prayers for my mom. Just please ask God to heal her and take care of her pain. I would really, really appreciate it.
