My goodness,they say god dose'nt give you more than you can handle...but I wish he didn't trust us so much!! I've been thinking of you,reading the posts. I'll send more prayers your way. Take things one day at a time. Maybe there is someone that could do the sale for you,that you trust,or maybe the distractionmight help. Try to hang in there Michelle,your mom's in gods hand and the doctors will try they're best to stabilize her condition. Thank god they found the anurysem before it burst. Take CAre and keep us informed of any changes. I wish I lived closer I'd help out with the garage sale. If you can't do it now maybe when things settle down...hopefully soon. Hugs and kises Melissa

Regardless, it's a big surgery for anyone of any age, so my prayers are with your mom. It's a shame she has to go thru this, but even as big of a surgery that it is, it's still something that can be treated. I hope they can get her b/p down though....may God and His angels be watching over you and your mom in these next few days!

Just came home to put Bentley outside.We still haven't seen any Drs. today .The aneurysm is in the top part of the aorta. I remember 1 Doc yesterday saying it was a size 6(?) which he said was large for surgery.
Thanks all for the kind words and prayers.My YT friends are the best. On my way back

I'll be praying for your Mom. I'm mad they won't let her see Bentley. That would make her feel better.

I thought I'd give a new update,Mom came home a couple days ago.her blood pressure has come down,with alot of new medications! We are still waiting on the surgery.Now we are having insurance problems- what hospital she can go to, etc. what surgeon will do the operation, we thought she had one but he was with the "wrong" hospital. her primary Dr. doesn't seem to concerned,(never has been) she was in the hospital 6 days and never came to see her!! can you believe that! The Drs at the hospital say she needs the surgery NOW, and I can't get her into the primarys office for 2 days. Ohhh I am so upset.

[mkawczak]

The doctor must have a hospital list. This is staff that rounds for the practice. Some PCPs don't have rounding /hospital rights. Even if they don't they should be communicating with you and your family through them. Waiting for an emergentcare apt 2 days is wrong. Every doctors office has same day apts. I work in a doctors office. It's not like she has a cold,she needs to be cleared for a surgery. At this point,I would call and speak to the office manager and tell them your situation. Someone dropped the ball with this,if you don't get results...down the road switch doctors,it's never too late. Good luck..It really P@#$ me off when someone puts there issues or needs infront of a pts. Bad Medicine!!

I called office a while ago,we can see a Dr. tomorrow morning.not her primary but from in the office.so I feel a little bit better.and I was also told what you said about the rounds/hospital rights. Believe me ,I will be switching her Dr. when we can. Thanks for all your info!

Thank you for the update. I am so sorry you are having problems with the doctors. I am continuing to pray for your sweet Mother and I hope you will get a really good, caring doctor for her. When you have problems such as hers, there should be doctors willing to take the "fast track" for treatment, surgery or whatever is required. It is not only dangerous but cruelly stressful for the patient and their families. God bless you all.

Mickeyb, I'm really sorry about your moms health.....I hope she gets all the help she needs.....she must be so frightened........I had a lot of problems when my dad was in the hospitals.....if your not on the ball constantly pushing nothing seems to get done.....it's terrible when your in an already stressful situation worrying about their health and then you have to constantly have to chase down doctors and demand tests and proper care.....I will be wishing your mom well........

[ellie81]

I'll be praying for her!
