We need some powerful prayers please

What a relief to have your mom all the way back!   Joyful Christmas indeed!

I can't stop weeping....happy tears tho!
 
I called and left a message on my sisters answering machine because I wanted her to be completely prepared for the improvement and not faint when she walked in, and even still she thot I was exaggerating or maybe sticking my head in the sand again....she was rather shocked.  I thot that my niece *would* faint when she came into the room and saw Grandma sitting in a chair eating breakfast.

Gee Glenda,,,I am just today reading this whole thing right from the beginning. I'm so sorry I missed it but again its nice to read the much happier last part then the scary first part of this thread. 
I'm so happy that your Mom seems so much better now... THANK GOD!
Its tough when our parents get older,,,seems something goes wrong so often.  And the sister thing is bad,,,we all have such different worries and ideas.   And boy is it easy for one sibling to step on the toes of another.  Sure makes hard things even harder.
I have found with a few of our older parents over the years that just plain being out of their homes and into the hospital and out of their surroundings just makes for confusion for them.  ITs so hard to tell if its drugs, illness or what it is.
Glad things are looking up, glad you didnt need my prayers or crossed fingers!!  LOL!
And you know,,, a word about being "the strong one!"  My mom walked out of the house to go to the store one day , she got hit by a car and died.  I helped my Grandma thru it,,,it was her only child that got hit and my mom was already in her early 60, so that tells you how old Grandma was.  But I helped by being "the strong one!" I was able to not even show a tear at the funeral, wasn't I strong???? 
Well, the end result was years of depression and anxiety. I see now that being strong isn't always worth it.
Hang in there and give your mom a Merry Christmas hug!

That is such great news, Glenda.  It sounds like your whole family will be enjoying Christmas and the New Year together.  Isn't the power of prayer a wonderful thing?

Oh the powerful idoggers do it again!! Thank you God! That is great news Glenda, now breathe, and try to get a little rest.

I'm glad to hear it. It seems, at times, she is more a victim of misdiagnosis than anything. But it's good that she is recovering.

Yaaay!

Finally some good news from you.  Lets just hope this sticks and you guys can have a stress free holiday together.

Wow Glenda, what an amazing and pleasant surprise you got.  I'm so happy for the huge improvement and I'd be crying tears of joy if I were you too.  I hope your mom continues to have clarity and feel better each day.  This might just go from being the worst Christmas imaginable to the very best.  Will continue to pray for all of you.

Wow, that's some good news!  Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.  I'll keep praying mom just continues to get better.

It's great to hear that your mom is doing well. I was so happy to hear this that I teared up a bit.  Will keep praying for a speedy recovery.

mrv, thank you.  That is one thing that the latest additional doc mentioned...infection could have a huge impact on her overall health and mental status.
 
Guys, I'm on Cloud Nine.  For those of you who are newer to idog.....the power of group prayer started for MY family way back in January when Sadie and her foster brother LT were placed with another idogger and Sadie managed to release her seat belt and bolted when Lori got them home.....since then we have had Mom in the hospital repeatedly....this is her 7th visit.....my nephew dang near died with a way too rapid heart rate and had to have a defibulator installed......Mom got her pacemaker and then was released from the hospital on a Thursday, Friday Jon was in with a heart rate of 260 or so...and he is an athlete.  We've also had Todd (DH) with his cardiac cath...and FOUR blockages, one of which was 99%, the least of which was 80% ocluded.....oh, and sis with a hole in her heart, my oldest DS with back surgery.....I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but this has been a horrible year.  And because of all of you guys, with prayers, good thots, candles, and what not.....EVERYTHING has turned out well.  There have been dozens of others we've come together for in prayer, and almost all of the outcomes have been good as well.
 
Mom had such a great day today.....all three great grandchildren came to see her, and both of her grandchildren from Sis.....Todd came up tonite and was completely amazed.....she got her central line, which we explained as a special IV....which it really is.....and she LOVED the house doctor who did it...he saw her last nite too, and agreed that he is absolutely adorable.  When he came out after putting it in he was all smiles and gave me a big hug!
 
I feel like I just won the lottery!
 
Dyan, I do take care of me...there have been LOTS of tears and sobbing, but I do keep it together for Mom because I'm her rock.  I came HERE and just let it all out.  But thank you for caring.

I got chills when I read this last page of the post!!! Glenda, I'm still continuing to pray for you and your family and giving much thanks for the prayers that were answered!  Big sigh of relief!!! WHEW!  So very happy for you!!!! []

What excellent news for you and your family to begin the holiday weekend with -- I can't imagine the relief you're feeling!
 
I've been here throughout the year and all the trials you've had, but when you actually typed them all out like that, and I read the whole list at once, it's amazing you're not hospitalized yourself from exhaustion!  You forgot to mention in your list that you moved AND started a new job during this year, too, if I'm remembering correctly.  Talk about having too much on your plate!
 
Yes, take some time for yourself soon.  You need to recharge your batteries and we'll continue to send vibes and prayers for a much more peaceful New Year for you!

Just checked in from vacation to see how your mom was doing.  I was glad to hear things are going better!  Now is the time to take a deep breath, a bubble bath and relax while you can.
 
Hopes and prayers to you!
