Pray for My MIL's Health: Battling Pancreatitis & a Large Cyst

[D'scookins307]

Beginning of December my MIL went to the floor and could get up. Found herself week and vomiting. Luckily brought her phone and call her Hubby who rushed home and forced her to the ER. She has had a horrible case of Pancreitis that has come on her for unknown reasons. To top it off, somehow ended up with a cist on her stomach that has grown soo large that it has collapsed her stomach.

She has been hospitilized 3 times since the beginning. She currently is at home for the second time and still on the feeding tube and has constant family care. The lining of her stomach has thinned so much that they have been unable to do surgery to drain the cist in fear of rupturing her stomach. To top all of this off, her pancreis has been leeking onto her gulbladder in which they now plan on removing if they can somehow get the cist to reduce or surgically remove it.

Best news in five weeks today, doc says he will let her eat whatever she thinks she can handle. Finally off the clear liquid diet and loving it. She went to Applebees first thing and after having a disappointing menu of soups she ordered some mashed tater and raspberry tea! Cheapest date she's ever been and probably best meal she can remember! LOL She was ready to do cartwheels (in her dreams of coarse) when she spoak with doc today.

Next test is week from Monday, back to her doc that wednesday to find out the situation on the cist and the reprocussions they will then decide to take! Please pray that she be part of the lower statistic that will show the cist reducing in size finally on its own. Other option which her doc forsees is that it will have grown even much more! Thank you all for your thoughts and considerations. God bless!

Your whole family is in our prayers. This sounds like it has been traumatic for all of you. What a ray of hope that she has made such an improvement. Praying that the cyst will be healed as well.
