Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsSaw my mother in the hospital this evening.
She was in a lot of pain due to the fact she has excess water in her legs and blood in her belly. They gave her a pain killer and she is resting comfortably now. Whether she goes home tomorrow is 50/50. The belly is is distended from the blood she lost. That will be slowly absorbed over time. They are giving her water pills to get the excess water out of her. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

And it seems interminable!
You both continue in my thoughts...
May she soon be well, and comfortable!

Let's hope and pray that "Thy Will be done" means we will have them around a while longer and they recover and be in better health for it.
