MJN Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hello everyone, This is Molly's daughter Katie. Please be praying for my mom and the rest of our family. Mom had chemo last Monday and on Thursday, she woke up with a terrible sore throat. She had a reaction to the chemo and it's called chemo mucusistis (sp?) She wasn’t able to eat or drink for a few days because of it so she got really dehydrated. My dad took her to the ER Saturday morning and they said that she was dehydrated and she has pneumonia. She hasn't eaten since Thursday because it hurts to eat, so she is really weak. She has been eating ice, but that is definitely not enough. The goal for the week is to help her throat to feel better, so she can talk without hurting and to get her to eat food again Under the circumstances she is doing well but it's hard to see her like this. They did put her on oxygen yesterday because her throat is extremely swollen, so her breathing levels were up and down. When we left the hospital last night, she was doing better than when I got there earlier, but it was pretty scary earlier when I got there. We have already had quite a few breakdowns. We have never seen her like this before and it’s really scary. I know that God is in control of everything that happens, but it’s hard to trust that everything is going to be alright when it feels like everything is falling apart. That's about it for now. Her main doctor comes back today (he has been on vacation), so we will find out more. I'll keep you updated! Thank you for all your prayers and concern. In Christ, Katie (Molly's daughter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeacherZee Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: I will keep you all in my thoughts. Does she have an IV for fluids? Just to reasure you, as long as she is getting fluids people can actually live quite some time without eating. Of course everyone wants her to be well enough to eat, but know that her not eating, as long as she is getting fluids somehow, isn't the end of all things. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaAkins Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Praying for God's healing hands to heal your mom; for Him to give her the faith and strength she needs in this long battle; for His tender love to comfort you and your siblings, and for Him to give the doctors the wisdom and compassion to treat your mom.

Carpe Diem Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Katie, I am so sad to hear that your Mom is suffering right now. She is so sweet and I can tell you are a sweetie as well. She is an inspiration to me and will continue to be. (I just posted that I returned home after my treatments from inflammatory breast cancer.) I will pray for your Mom and for all of her family. I will pray that the doctors and nurses will give her the best care. I will pray that the Almighty Physician will bring her comfort and quick healing. Please keep us posted. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
