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 :angel:

Sending prayers for your mother to respond to the treatments and get better! Prayers of strength for all of you as im sure this is a very stressfull time. God Bless!

I am sending prayers!! You definitely need to take Dino for a visit. It will make your Mom feel better!! If you aren't allowed...sneak him in!!! :p

I will keep your Mom in my prayers for a full recovery!!! Give your Mom a hug form me! I miss mine so much.

Prayers coming out from Utah!

Get Well soon MOM! Bella is sending you many puppy kisses, which we all know they cure everything!! Prayers on the way from Tampa;)

:hands: Prayers for your Mother. Please keep us posted.

I am also sending prayers your way. Keep God in your prayers and mind. I can tell you from experience that miracles do happen. My husband died in the operating table in a simple procedure. They had to do an open heart surgery to bring him back. He was worked on by his cardiac surgeon and team for over 6 hours until they stabalized him. He was in ICU for 18 days and 16 of those days he was sedated and on a respirator. I was told that they didn't know what brain damage he would have when he would come to. I prayed and cried all those days along with a lot of family and friends. He is now doing great. The recuperation was long and he had a lot of complications but he is fine.

Please pray to whatever God you believe in and have a lot of faith. Nothing is impossible. If you'd like to talk PM me.

Hugs,
Ines:hands:

I pray that He, the Great Physician, guides the doctors and nurses to help make your mom well. May He watch over her until she is healthy and home again! Dino kisses would no doubt help her to feel better faster ;)

I am praying that your mother makes a speedy recovery.

I just got home from the hospital because they are only letting one person stay tonight so my dad is staying. She is somewhat regaining movement and she was talking to us. She gets tired very quickly and mostly naps. Thank you all for your prayers. Dino is coming with me in the morning to go visit her when I drop some breakfast off for my dad. I hope that will make her feel better.

Once again Thank you all!

Keeping you mom in my thoughts and prayers.
My mom had a lot of the same problems but she didnt have a stroke but she did have to keep going in and getting blood. a year later and she still goes in every wed to get her blood checked and a shot. and she seems to feel so much better after the shots.

Thoughts and prayers your way.

I'm so sorry to hear about what has happened with your Mom. Please let her know that she is in my thoughts and prayers and I hope she recovers soon and responds well to the transfusions and meds.

I am so sorry to hear this, I hope your mom will have a speedy recovery! Sending prayers your way!

I would like to update everyone and Thank everyone for their prayers. Sometimes I think YT prayers is the most powerful force. My mom is doing great. She now needs to go every week for B12 injections and a yearly blood transfusion. She seems to be doing well on the shot and responding to treatments rather well. Also thank you Patti and Jack for writing to me with such a touching story and helping me get through this as well as my family.

-Love

Marta and Dino
