Mom is home with oxygen ❤️🙏🏻

13/06/2024

Long update incoming...

Yesterday the nurse practitioner came and gave a very detailed discussion about things. Basically she said Mom's lungs will never be the same as they were pre-covid and she's wondering if some of what's showing up on the CT scans is scarring from when she was on the trach.

Her lungs sound much better than they did the day before. The NP said she wasn't hearing the crackling like she had been, so that was good.

They did a swallow test and Mom passed with flying colors. So that confirms she did not aspirate, so they ruled that out as a cause for the pneumonia.

The NP also highly suggested that Mom see someone for the mental strain from her health anxieties and covid PTSD, especially after she'd had a pretty bad panic attack the second day here. We're all really struggling with covid PTSD, but obviously she has it the worst.

Mom will most likely be sent home with oxygen, but she will not be going home tonight, much to her disappointment. We kind of figured as much, but it's still a bummer.

She did another azithromycin infusion today and the chaplain also visited and prayed with her yesterday, so that was nice.

She's supposed to have a conference call with a pulmonologist and his team sometime tomorrow to discuss what more needs to be done, but I don't have a time for that yet.

I can't think of anything else at the moment, but these were the highlights. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know ❤️ I'm going to be staying with her again tonight, try and give her a little extra support (and help keep my anxiety in check)

Please pray for my mom. She's been sick since last Tuesday. After a chest x-ray on Friday, they told her she had vascular congestion and prescribed her z-pac. She went to the dr today as she hasn't gotten any better and they had her go to the ER. They have since admitted her for pneumonia and have her on oxygen and IV antibiotics.

The doctors think she'll only need to be in the hospital for a couple days, so hopefully she will have a quick healing 🙏🏻 I'm staying with her overnight so she isn't alone (and I can keep an eye on the hospital staff)

We're all really concerned about her and having some covid flashbacks 😥 please pray for healing 🙏🏻

(I have tried to text as many people as possible. A few of you I've set up a text to send later in the morning so I don't wake you up. If you haven't heard from me, I deeply apologize; it's not personal at all. Just know we love you all and value your friendship and truly covet your prayers right now.)

Mom found out she does NOT need to do chemo. Praise God!! She's still going to need to take an anti-hormone pill for five years but that's much better than chemo. ❤️🙏🏻

She's still struggling with pain mixed with her already present post-covid pain, so as always, we appreciate your continued prayer support 🙏🏻 thank you!

Mom got the news that the first part of the testing on her lymph nodes came back negative for cancer. The next part includes sending it in to another lab to double check that she won't need to do chemo.

On another note, Mom is doing incredibly well, but she's struggling with pain. Please continue to pray for her healing journey ❤️🙏🏻 We all appreciate your support and prayer through all of this 😊

While my parents and I were in the cafeteria for our “mid-appointment break” yesterday, Mom and I looked out the window and at the same time, we saw a distinct flash of white wings. I turned to look at Mom, my mouth opened in shock. She nodded in response. “I saw it, too,” she said.
“Was that what I think it was?” I asked her. She nodded again.
Flying across the window was a pure white dove! I’d never seen a white dove in the wild before. Now, could it be possible it was a different kind of bird? Absolutely. But I’d like to think it was a much-appreciated sign from God, just letting us know that He was right there with us, granting us his peace and comfort. And I’m going to take it :)

The appointment yesterday was mostly positive. Thankfully, the type of cancer Mom has is one of the "best" to have in the sense that it's the most treatable. It’s Stage 1a, caught pretty early.

We all entered the appointment feeling fairly at peace, but the more information we received, the more relieved we felt. Due to the amount of breast cancer in the family and not wanting to go through a bunch of different treatments, Mom has opted to have a bilateral mastectomy. They’re also going to take one of the lymph nodes and send it to the lab just to double check that the cancer hasn’t spread into the lymph nodes. Surgery will be February 15th, and she will be looking at physical therapy and an anti-hormonal treatment in the form of a pill she’ll be taking for five years.

All in all, some pretty positive news. Mom is doing really well and has been remaining positive and in good spirits. This is all good news, but I’m still asking for prayer for a successful and complication-free surgery, as well as a relatively easy recovery

Dad, Mom and I are on our way to her appointment at Betty Ford. This is projected to be a 6 hour appointment where she'll be meeting with everyone on the team to discuss treatment options and where we go from here. Please pray for clarity of mind for us and that God will guide the medical team throughout this process. Thank you!

Hey friends.

Once again, I’m coming to this page to humbly ask for your prayers. Mom has received positive results for breast cancer.

We won’t know any details until she meets with her specialty team on Thursday (1/25). Dad and I are both planning on going to the appointment with her as support and two extra sets of ears. I’ll do my best to keep everyone updated, but please pray for her through this. She’s been through so much already. Thank you. 🙏🏻

Updating with a prayer request...

My aunt and uncle (Mom's sister and BIL) and their youngest daughter (doesn't live with them) all have COVID and my 87-year-old grandmother (who lives with my aunt and uncle) just tested positive today.

Please pray for healing and ease of symptoms.

Rob is home!!! Thank you all so much for praying!

Our dear family friend, Rob Bertrand, has been in the hospital since March 4th, where he was admitted with 60% oxygen and almost immediately coded. He's been on the vent ever since and he needs our fervent prayers! (I'm not sure where to insert this, but his family has stated that Rob's health issues are not COVID-related, and I wanted to make sure I clarified that)

This is the most recent update from his brother, Randall. I'm asking all of you who prayed for Mom to join me in praying for Rob as well. He was a huge support when Mom and our family needed it the most and I pray God pulls him through this in much the same way.

Please feel free to share and ask for prayer on your own pages 💗🙏🏻
