Unlove My mother is very ill :(

On Wednesday we had to rush my mother to the hospital because suddenly she lost movement of her legs arms and mouth. When we arrived at the hospital we were informed that she had a mild stroke. They treated her but soon discovered that her red blood cell level was at 6.2 which I think average is 14. These are dangerously low and could cause heart attacks. After the tests came it showed that her body is not producing sufficient amounts of red blood cells and that they are too large. They think that her immune system instead of fighting against diseases it is fighting against her red blood cells. Today they did two blood transfusions and they are going to be injecting some B12 into her. From there on it may be a long road in treatment. They told us that if she doesn't respond to treatment she may need monthly blood transfusions or steroids . The final tests come back tomorrow. I have been at the hospital since then but I had to come home today to feed Dino shower and rest up. I know the power of all of you YT members so if you could please keep my mother in your prayers it would be greatly appreciated.

I want to print this thread and take it to her because I know it would make her feel a lot better. She has been wanting to see Dino all this time, I may take him for a quick visit but I am not sure yet.

Thank you very much, you are all angels
