My Mom and step dad went to Gatlinburg as they always do on their anniversary and her birthday. which was last week on the 15th of Sept, on Last thursday my Mom called me and said he wasn't feeling well and would probably end up in the Hosp. when she got home.

Well that did not happen she is in the Hosp in Knoxville TN. on a Ventalator since Friday and so far there has been no change. They are keeping her heavily sedated so that she can rest and get stronger so that she can breath on her own. Last sunday though Guenter and me and Sheri (my little Sis) were in the room with her and she all of a sudden opened her eyes. We were so happy to see her do that.

Today the 23 rd of Sept I talked to my Step Dad and he said  that the doctor said that her kidneys might not be working as well as they sholud be, That was this morning) I talked to him after the 2pm visiting and the doctor then said it wasn't as bad as he had thought and that they were going to do some tests this afternoon.

And the best news of all was that Guenter said that Mom opened her her eyes looked at him and gave him a little smile he was so happy and so am I.

Maybe in a couple of days they might do a Tracheotomy so that they can take the tube out of her lungs and this way they can wake her up and get on the road to recovery.  Having the tube in for an extended period is not good. So we are alwals hoping foe the best every day. Mom may have to be there for a while. But I know that she Know that well all love her very much.

 

Pam, I just saw the info re your mom,as I just found your website today, while shopping. I do not see an update re your mom, but will be praying for her. May God bless all of you, as you go through this trial. God is good - all the time!
