    Update on My wife 6-24-21 it's not good...

    As many of you know my wife, Heather, has been fighting cancer again. Yesterday morning she had no interest in food, only wanted to sleep, and was fairly non-responsive (not unusual for her when she is tired). I left her food and drink, covered her up on the bed so she could rest, and went to check on Momma who had just gotten out of the hospital. When I came home she still seemed to be sleeping. I setup the laptop on the bed beside her, like I often do, and when I glanced over I realized her closed eyes were moving back and forth in a slow pendulum movement which is indicative of a systemic problem. I tried to wake her and she was completely non-responsive. I pulled back the covers to find she had vomited on herself, and urinated on herself and the bed. She couldn't answer questions, and the best we would get (if lucky) was a grunt. Phyllis called 911 and we got her into a nightgown. She fell off of the bed and onto the floor, and we were unable to lift her. Paramedics got her into the ambulance and to the ER at Palestine. Once there it took alot of work for the nursing staff to get her connected to machines and saline, and once she had a little fluid in her she started crying and fighting everybody. She would repeat a couple of phrases as she fought us but that was it. They checked her blood stats... Hemoglobin was down to a 2 (out of 14), and white cells which should have been around 11k parts per due to cancer were instead 290k parts per. They found she had no brain damage, but did have pneumonia in a lung, her skin was jaundiced, and her heart was racing. They gave her a very mild sedative, one she has had in the past, to calm her. 45 seconds later we watched her heart rate go from 59 to 39 to 18 to 0 in under a second. She crashed out. Died. The great Dr and nursing staff were able to revive her, but it took 4 blood transfusions, and alot of other work to stabilize her so she could be life flighted at 2:30 am to Tyler Mother Francis. This morning when we went to see her we were given the news that she only has a 50/50 chance of surviving 24 hours. Her organs are failing. He put her on dialysis for 12 hours and said if it works, without killing her heart again, she would have that 50/50 chance. Beyond that is long odds. She also has a massively off ph balance, and needs constant bicarb and charcoal treatments in the stomach because of what all the other meds are doing. It doesn't look good. This should have all been caught weeks, or even months ago, and it wasn't. I've missed a bunch of the problems in this post, but I am exhausted. It is what I could do for now. Prayers needed. God Bless.

    Prayers for Heather and for you. Know that whatever God has in store, it's all part of his plan.

    Lord be with our brother and his wife as they go through these troubles. Help them find the peace that a strong connection with you can bring. Give them and their family all the love and support you can in the days to come. What will be, will be. Thy will Lord be done on earth as it is in heaven.

    In the name of God the Father, maker of Heaven and Earth, his only Son our Lord Jesus the Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

    Amen
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    Thank you all. Today was more of the same. To quote the doctor "we've traded problems at this point". There is so much going wrong at one time that they are literally having heck trying anything and everything.

    Ill post more when I know more, but it looks like organ failure if they can't get this cascade of problems stopped and reversed.

    God Bless.
