I have forgotten her son's Freeper name. He hasn't been here for a long time. I received an e-mail from him that I will post.
Good morning, I just spoke with Mom and I wanted to give you an update (or at least as much as I know presently). She is in ICU following her second surgery yesterday. It was scheduled to be an hour surgery, but lasted six hours. They attempted vein grafting to save her right leg. The nurse told me this morning that they don’t have a pulse in her leg this morning, unfortunately, but I don’t think mom knows that yet.
Her spirits are up (as usual). Because of her pain medicine, she’s gotten more sleep in the last two nights than she has in months, she told me. Her pain is controlled and they’re trying to keep her blood sugars up. She continues to fight the good fight. If they can’t restore blood flow to her leg, she’ll likely need a third surgery to remove it. She’s waiting for her doctor to come by to decide.
I told her about the latest FR thread supporting her in prayer and in love and she was very moved and appreciative (as am I). She has been so pleased and honored to have felt God’s loving touch move through her pained and deteriorating body to allow her to lift the spirits of others, and I believe she has received much in return from those of you so dear to her.
Will try to keep you posted. Could you please give me your phone number in case I need to reach you more quickly or am not near a computer? Also, I don’t think she’d mind your sharing the above update with her friends.
Warmest regards,
