Mom had an "episode" this morning. Her breathing went to very erratic and shallow, prompting a "code" type response. Doctors, nurses and angels rushed in and found the problem. Her kidney function is pretty low and she was not eliminating the methadone from her body. Essentially, this caused a drug overdose. After an injection of some sort, she returned to her state of regular breathing and consciousness.
The doctor just came in and laid out the following plan for Mom:
1. EAT! (She needs strength for breathing and kidney function.)
2. Check reaction to methadone now that it has been cut in half (pray this doesn't result in pain).
3. Plan on checking out tomorrow!!! (Praise God!) Hospice care will be there for support, but the plan is also to have treatment!
4. Love your husband. (I think Dad added that one.)
Father God, we pray that all of this will be to glorify your name and show that you can conquer all. Above all, we know that you have final say in all that happens and that it will be your will and not ours. We know that you have been with us all along and we just praise you for all you have blessed our lives with.
Further, we also pray for Sequoyah's Sarah Ivester and her family as they deal with their pain and struggles following her mother's sudden stroke. We pray that you will continually minister to their needs and just be with them all along the tough journey.
In Christ,
Amen
