Asking for positive thoughts again. . . .

shalannaWe've had a miserable couple of days here at Casa el Dumpo. Flooding, household-wide illness, nothing good to read. Bleah! But "Harvey" *was* on TCM last night.
I hate to ask again . . . but Mama asked, "put me on the prayer list again," and this is what she means. (I had a hard time explaining weblogs and journals and so forth.) She's having secondary complications from the medicine that she's been taking for acute bronchitis and walking pneumonia. Her stomach is bleeding again (we can tell because of . . . well, too much info is never a good thing, but there is a definite sign when "something" turns black) and they hope it's just that her ulcer is irritated by the steroid pills. She lies around nauseated and dizzy and having panic attacks because the COPD/emphysema is making that bronchitis worse. I haven't had any rest because about every couple of hours she calls me in there to her room so I can fix her inhalant machine, or turn on/off the oxygen generator, or walk her to the potty, or whatever. I would be over this respiratory thing if I could just rest! She really should be in the hospital but begged the doctor not to put her there as it's so boring.
I think she is a little better tonight than over the past couple of days, but she asked to be put on the prayer list! So . . . here we are! Tomorrow morning I am going to just load her into the car and take her to Dr. Genius' office and ask how we can heal ALL the things at once. She wants to get well enough to go see my aunt for HER birthday. The weather (flooding for a day and a half) hasn't helped, as respiratory patients don't do well in wet weather with the barometric pressure going up or down or whichever way it is.
If you feel moved to pray, chant, or send positive Good Thinks, we would appreciate it greatly!! Thanks in advance! In return, we will answer any math questions you have, send recipes, or sing a little song. *tuning up*

Date: 2008-03-20 07:56 pm (UTC)We've got nasty weather too, which makes one realise why we say we're feeling, "Under the weather." I've felt quite down all day and there's no real reason I should. I blame the overcast gloom and the cold wind. Here's hoping for nice spring sunshine to make us all feel better!
