Prayers needed for my mother

We need prayers!

My 95 year old mother, Virgina, did not wake up this morning. She is still only semi-responsive in the emergency room at Sutter Memorial Hospital. When I arrived there from Stockton at 10:30AM here blood pressure was 53 over 37 and her O₂ saturation level was 62%. I took her hand, which was very cold, and said "Hi Mom!" and she opened one eye and looked at me. When I asked her how she felt she mumbled "Awful!"

She then went back to being only semi-responsive.

Her BP is now much better and O₂ is up to 87% on 100% oxygen... But she is still out of it.

The diagnosis is double pneumonia... But there also may be congestive heart failure.

At her age, I just want her not to suffer... Whether she is called home to God or recovers. What I fear is the horrid middle ground where she winds up with no quality of life in a nursing home and doesn't know who she is, who her family is, or what is happening to her and lingers forever in a medical limbo. She has left orders for no extraordinary measures to save her... And we will honor that. So prayers are needed for the best resolution for her... But God's will be done.

Hi Sword,

I am SO sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. I have been driving all day and only just now got online, so I regret that I could not respond earlier to your prayer request.

So now, my prayers are offered, for your Mother's soul now in God's merciful hands, and for your and your family's peace of mind and strength. Know that you are in my continued thoughts and prayers.

Best FRegards and sincerest sympathy,
Dayglored
