Mom is frustrated this afternoon! We went back in to see her this afternoon and the nurse had step away for 5 seconds to get refills on her medications and she was turning her head back and forth and trying to raise her hands up to her tube in her mouth. So we think she is getting a resistance to the medications she is on for sedation. So the nurse is giving her extra doses of pain medicine for now. Please pray for peace and patience for all of us through the night.
So tomorrow morning at 7:30am New Mexico time is when she goes back in for surgery. So please all who read this say a prayer for the doctor's steady hands and guidance for tomorrow.
Dad and I will go back in tonight for visiting hours and then be back up there bright and early about 6am to see her off to surgery.
Love to you all,
Rebekah
Rebekah, I have been thinking about and praying for your mom all day. About 14 years ago I was in a position like your mom, not for the same reason but had to be sedated for a couple of days and had all the tubes. I was aware of what was going on around me, I could hear, and I could feel. When I exhibited the most agitation was because I had cramps in my feet and could not tell anyone. The inability to communicate is the most frustrating. Hope this will help you. Your are all in our prayers, Cristie (Albuquerque) sorry, I am not sure how to choose the profile.
ReplyDeletePrayers continue ...Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His Purpose.
ReplyDeleteBrenda, you are one strongest women I know and someone who loves unconditionally. An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, just imagine that it's going to launch you into something great :) and you will be on that "straight" path very soon.
Love you,
Stephanie, Shaun, Brayson and Cayson Barnes <3
Praying the surgeon and staff provide the best possible care for Brenda tomorrow. Praying you and your Dad are encouraged throughout the the procedure tomorrow. Please keep us updated often, I'll be following her progress. Dianna
