Please say a Prayer for Mommom

Mommom flew to Pittsburgh this past friday so she could visit her oldest child Michael who recently had back surgery. Earlier today she was rushed to the hospital. After a whole battery of tests and an over the phone conversation with her heart specialist here in Philadelphia, it has now come to her organs not functioning. She has totally lost the use of one of her kidneys, and the other one is barely working. Her sugar level is way up then way down, her heart isn't working 100%, it's functioning at about 70%. Her gallbladder has a tube to it and it comes out of her side into a bag where the fluid that surrounds her heart and fills her lungs drains. If she agree's to be put on the machine for the kidney the is still barely working, the doctor gives her 3 to 6 months. If she does not agree to it, she won't make it to the 3 months. Mommom has told me numerous times, she has made her peace, fulfilled what she had to do here on earth and if God needs her in heaven, she is ready. Joe is flying to Pittsburgh tomorrow to be with his mom. Mommom is in ICU, where they can keep a close eye on her. If you pray, please say a prayer for this lovely lady, and if you don't pray please send her good thoughts. Thank you everyone, it means alot to me and to the family. If your in a prayer group please add Mommom to your prayers.

Love you all...................CINDY

LOVE YA,

CINDY

PICS OF PARTY COMING LATER TONIGHT.

UPDATE

THE AMBULANCE REFUSED TO TAKE DAN TO MAGEE OR JEFFERSON HOSPITAL. SICE THEY ARE A CITY AMBULANCE AND NOT A PRIVATE AMBULANCE IT IS THEIR CHOICE. SO DAN WAS BROUGHT HOME. HE WAS NOT HOME MORE THEN 20 MINUTES BEFORE HE WENT DOWNHILL. HIS BACK STARTED REALLY BAD SPASMS, HE LOOKED WHITE IN COLOR, HIS HANDS WERE SHAKING AND HE STARTED MUMBLING, " I CAN'T MOVE." EMMA CALLED 911. WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT HE'S GOING TO THE HOSPITAL DOWN THE STREET FROM ME. SO FAR XRAYS WERE TAKEN, AND ULTRASOUND GIVEN AND NOW THEY WANT TO DO A CAT SCAN. HE'LL BE THERE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS, BECAUSE THIS HOSPITAL IS THE SLOWEST I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO. THERE ISN'T MUCH MORE TO TELL AT THIS POINT, BUT I WILL LET YOU KNOW ANYTHING I FIND OUT. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

LOVE YA.........................CINDY

DAN AND HIS DRIVER STEVE ARE WAITING FOR THE AMBULANCE TO ARRIVE TO TRANSPORT THEM BOTH TO THE HOSPITAL. PLEASE SAY A PRAYER THAT DAN IS RIGHT AND HE AND HIS DRIVER ARE OK. THE TRACTOR TRAILER DRIVER IS AT FAULT.

Hello Everyone

I just wanted to give you all a little update. Rebecca is still sick. Her fever went as high as 103.8. It's been coming and going the past 36 hours. I checked it 30 minutes ago and it was 99.0. She has hardly eatten anything, except chicken broth, iced water and frozen popsicles. I bought Jr. Tylenol for ages 6 to 11. They are meltaway tablets for fever. Well, I will never buy them again. TOTAL GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!! Her fever never went down, only up taking those damned things. So I went and bought Children's liquid Tylenol. I can always depend on that item. I just wish her cough would go away and her appetite was better. At least she is getting fluids though. If she's not better by monday, then off to the doctor's we go. I have had about 2 hours sleep a night the last 3 days watching my child sleep, making sure she is ok. She wants to go to bed now. I am going to post this but will return to it after she is tucked in and write some more in it. So keep it as new mail if you read it before iI write more in it ok.

 

BRB..............Cindy

Ok, I am back. My poor baby is so tired. I hope she sleeps through the night and feels better tomorrow. She'll miss out on so much fun tomorrow if she is sick. I have so much to do tonight. I need to bake a tray of homemade Foccacia bread, and my tomato mixture to go on top of it. And I have to make an orange, glazed Bundt cake. Tomorrow I have the baked Ziti to make along with a crock pot of sauce, meatballs and sausage. Jim is going to cook chicken and hotdogs out on the grill. Oh and I am going to make a veggie salad. That should be enough food, I hope. Plus there's an Carvel Icecream cake.

I am slowly getting to your journals. I will read a few more tonight and catch up with the rest tomorrow night hopefully. Please keep Rebecca in your prayers and also please say a prayer for Linda Bradbury. She is back in the hospital again. Also say a little prayer for the 58yr old woman who was run over and killed by a dump truck and driver the other morning. They still have not found the man or the truck. The accident happened 2 blocks from my house. I could see it from my kitchen window. A witness said the truck hit the woman knocking her down then ran right over her, killing her.

Well, I best get off of here a bit and get my food started for tomorrow. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Welcome home Jeanne, get some rest girlfriend.

Love ya all..........................CINDY

Good Morning. I just want to stop by and let you all know I will not be around much over the next few days. There's a few reason's why, by 2 are, it's my grandson's 3rd birthday and I'll be doing lots of cooking, baking for his party sunday. Yes, I'll have lots of pics. And the second reason is Rebecca is very sick. Diareha, throwing up and very high fevers have taken over her body. Yesterday she woke up to 103.3 fever. All day it was down a point, up 2 points. Whens she went to bed last night her fever was down to 99.6. At 3am this morning she woke up very thirsty. I took her temperature again and it was 103.8. It's 101.6 right now. She'll be staying home from school today again. She's not happy about it.

If you would please say a prayer for Rebecca. I hate it when she's so sick.

 

Love..........................CINDY

Hello Everyone.

Well, here I am. I finally made it to my journal to make an entry. Jim left to go do the laundry. Rebecca just had a cinnamon raison bagel and now she is parked infront of the tv. She's watching a show on Mickey Mouse Play house.

The past few days it has been sunny and in the mid 80's, today it is cloudy and only suppose to go up to 67. If the rain stays away until late this afternoon we might go to Berlin Auction. I'm looking for a shelf type thingy that'll give me more storage space in kitchen and maybe even more counter space.

Well, let's see, about my week. It was a long one. 5 days at the school, 4 days homeschooling Marissa, because on friday I took her to school with Rebecca and I. Marissa loves going to school with Rebecca. We had a few mishaps in the class during the week. Boys hitting each other, one boy hit 2 girls, a girl picked another girl up who was half her size and then threw her on the floor. Then we have the cryers, who don't wanna even be in class, and there's 4 boys and 1 girl that can cry all day. Then we have the sleepers, who come to school and go to sleep as soon as they eat breakfast. Tuesday after Rebecca had violin practice, I stayed for a Home School meeting. Flyers were sent out to all the parents but only 3 of us showed up. It was all about idea's for fund raisers for the school, and how to make the school safer. I mentioned how the parents park right up on the sidewalk giving less room for the kids to walk and also how a lady backed up on sidewalk and hit me in left hip doing so. We're going to see about the city getting a No Parking sign put up. On thursday before I went back to the school I stopped at Dunkin Donuts and bought 100 donut hole munchkins for the kids. They ate everyone of them. I remember they use to be 50 for 1.99, now it's 50 for 5.99. But the smiles on their little faces and all the thank you Miss Cindy's I got and even some hugs too made it all worth it.

This week I have a project I am going to do with the kids. We're are going to plant marigolds in cups, and watch them grow in class, and then on mother's day the kids can make cards for their mom and take the card and flower they planted home to their mom. On wednesday while the teacher went up to copy some papers, I had the kids all sit on the rug and I read them the story, Stone Soup. They all sat so quiet and listened to the story. I have always liked that story myself. I have some pictures I want to show you, but I will do that later today in another entry.

I best get busy and do something. I read 15 journals this morning. Gonna go read a couple more and take a break for a little while. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

 

Love ya,
