ER....

Sitting in the ER with Mom right now. A week ago today, I came own with a severe cold. It was worst that day, Sunday, and then slowly got better over the next two days. Jess came down with the same thing and recovered pretty fast also. We thought Mom had escaped. She took immune boosters like Elderberry, vitamin c, etc.  Last night, we were watching Fiddler on the Roof and eating pizza, yum!, and she said she felt a little nauseated. She got over it pretty quick though, and thought it was just something she ate. This morning, I got up at 6:00 am to take a shower before church. She called me in her room, and when I went in there, she was in agony. Her lower back was giving her intense pain and she was having cycles of dry heaves every 20 to 30 minutes. The pain got really intense, and  she asked us to take her in. She never gets sick, and when she does, she rarely lays down. This was really unusual. Dad drove and I just went to help.

She was really dehydrated, so they put her on iv fluids and morphine for the pain and something else for the nausea. Please pray she gets better.

The girls went to church, and we are all three supposed to play on our church's Christmas Recital tonight. We have to leave at 4:30. And then we are supposed to go over to another family's house for dinner. Not entirely sure how we are going to work all this.....but the most important thing is to get Mom feeling better. She just Sid she was more relaxed...probably the morphine.

Anyways, please pray for her....
