My mom is having heart surgery Monday morning in Texas. She is really anxious and I would appreciate your prayers for her to feel God's calming spirit and a successful surgery.
 
Praying for your mom.
 
Praying from you Mom from TN too! I know it is hard because "Moms are never supposed to be sick"! HUGS to you too!
 
Definitely. I'll keep her in my prayers.
 
A prayer said for a peaceful mind and a healthy heart!

It is hard for Mom to be strong and it is hard for their child to be strong too (no matter what age you are!)

Prayers for the surgeons, your Mom, for you and your family.
 
I'll be praying for your mom's healing, the doctors' wisdom and skill, and your peace of mind.
 
Prayers and ((((HUGS)))) to you and your Mom!
 
Your mom and your family are in my prayers.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers! My sister called this morning and my mom was out of surgery after only one hour (the surgeon had expected it to be at least two hours)!
 
Yeah! I missed this thread before (on vacation) but I sure am glad she did well!

My sister just called me back with some news. Apparently when she thought Mom was in recovery before they were actually finishing up the proceedure and getting ready to send her to recovery. Well, before they could get her to recovery she had a reaction to medication so they kept her in the OR to monitor her. While doing this, this surgeon decided that he didn't like the way things looked and the end result was that they went back and did a triple bypass! Thankfully so far her lungs are still looking good (they are weak from pnuemonia in the past) and her kidneys are still functioning (Mom has kidney damage also from too many years of a certain medication). So now she is going to recovery. I pray that ther are no more surprises and that she can begin the healing process. (One extra note, Mom is 67 years old.)
 
Wow! I'm happy things turned out okay! At least they did it all now, versus having to go back for a 2nd time. It sounds like she has a great team working on her!

Major changes since I posted yesterday morning. Yes, Mom's surgery was a success but she had a major reaction to one of the medications and her blood pressure dropped. The doctor tried everything he could but unfortunately she passed away yesterday evening. My family is heading out in a few hours to travel to Texas. I gotta try for some sleep but I just wanted to let everyone know.

Continued pryers please for my family and my sister's family as we try to get through the next few days.

Thanks everyone for all the thoughts and prayers. I'm doing okay, hanging in there one day at a time.
 
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I lost my Mom 11 years ago last April and my Dad 26 years ago this month. Let the wonderful memories you shared over the years help you to heal. Know she is healthy and happy in Heaven with Jesus!

Hi Everyone,
I'm finally back home after being gone for about seven weeks emptying out my mom's house and getting it ready to be sold. Thanks for all of the prayers I know they helped my sister and I get through everything that we had to deal with.
 
Wow...what a long time to be gone! I know it's a HUGE job going through an entire household and cleaning and such. I pray that God continues to give you peace and His grace to get through the coming months. I hope you are doing well!
