Prayers for my Mommy!

Hi friends & family...

This is a plea that everyone sends prayers for healing & pain control for my mom.  She had surgery Friday morning on her back.  She had a disk that was pinching a nerve that was causing all kinds of pain in her left hip, knee & she had a dropped foot.  During Surgery they accidentally nicked her spinal column, but stitched it up immediately.  Unfortunately that nick caused a major headache for her on Friday. 


Yesterday morning, Saturday, she was doing much better, no headache, no back pain & no pain on that left side.  She was walking up & down the hall with the nurse & even went up & down stairs!  She came home yesterday afternoon & was feeling good.


This morning she took her pain med at 730am & then went back to sleep.  When she woke up I checked on her & she had gone to the bathroom & almost fell from the dizziness & pain she had in her head.  I helped her back to bed, she slept some more & when I talked to her a bit later she had  excruciating pain in her head.  We called the hospital & they asked her to come back in right away because they're very concerned she is leaking spinal fluid causing the pain.


So, she is on her way back into the hospital.  Prayers that they can control the pain & if she is leaking fluid, fix it.  The kids are luckily at Barb & Darrell's this weekend, so they have no idea what is going on.  If she needs to go back into the O.R. I will head up to Regions to be with my dad.  Prayers for him too, as this has been a really hard week on him.
