Please pray for Doris. She was ambulanced to Muscatine ER and then on to Univ of Iowa Hospitals on Saturday with lethal levels of potassium, kidney failure, and seizures. She is in Cardiac Intensive Care on 4th floor.
They were able to reverse the potassium levels which could have caused her to code at any minute. Slowly they have brought her other medication levels back to her normal. She had been vomiting on occasion starting Thursday and seemed to have a bug of some sort. Saturday morning she went into seizures while we girls were out to Farm & Fleet for a few minutes. Anna and Joseph found her and got Pat who called 911. The paramedics were there as we rushed back. During her ambulance ride to the Univ they had to shock her once as her heart was irratic.
She now is battling significant pneumonia. They are also transfusing her from an unknown blood loss source. Her kidneys are beginning to produce urine again thankfully. She has a face mask to help her breath as she was too weak to breath deep enough to keep the air flow right.
Please pray for our Doris. They say she is a model patient. Mary, Jeanie, Don & Sherrie, and I are taking turns staying with her day and night. Ron & Linda were up Sunday also.
Yours in prayer,
Donna
Hi All,
We awoke to birds singing, dew on the grass, and beautiful, wonderful SUNSHINE!! It’s been a bit cold and rainy the last few days, but promise of warmer temps today have me pumped!
Yesterday my baby turned THREE years old. Oh my gosh—as she says! She is turning into such a big girl—-fully potty trained now for a few months and FINALLY no more bottle nipples to suck on! God knew I couldn’t “lose” it for her, so He arranged for me to lose it for real. It only took one night of very little sadness and one morning asking Aunt Jeanie if it was at her house. That was the END of it!!!! I can’t believe it! She was more ready than I could imagine. PTL. Such a freedom for both of us.
God continues to show Himself mighty to me and my family. After much trauma and drama, I was finally successful in moving Amanda (12 yr old) out here with Anna and I. It is a blessing for all of us. She is a beautiful girl who needs a mother whether she wants one or not! We’re doing great and living each day in praise and thanksgiving to our God who is designing our lives. We are so blessed.
I pray all of you are living in the sunshine of his love and enjoying each day to the fullest. Love to all of you out there.
Sorry I missed your birthday my pal John!!! I thought of you all day and prayed for you.
Take care and see you at the wedding! Our lives are entangled with visions, dreams, plans, nerves, excitement as time rushes by! It will be the event of the year—at least if we have anything to say about it!!!
