Prayers Requested for a Cheffer's Loss

[Kathytnt]

Melissa McCall aka Dollfangs lost her mother yesterday. She and her brother were by her side when she passed. Melissa is a distance member of my cluster and we have chatted many time on the board and off and hope to meet or room at conference.
Melissa's mom had a massive heart attack last week. I asked Melissa's permission before posting here

I lost my mom June 9 of last year - Our dads are special but you know there is just this bond between mom's and their daughters.

Her e-mail is [email protected] If you would like to send a card please privately message or e-mail be for her home address.

Please keep Melissa in your thoughts and prayers!

Missed this the first time you posted - I was dealing w/ my moms emergency at the time - i am glad you bumped it! I will be praying for her & her family.

Beck - How is your mom doing? If I recall correctly it was a hernia issue correct??

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Aww, Kathy - my mom calls me Beck most of the time!
Thanks for asking about my mom!
She is doing remarkably well! It was a hernia that was way out of control! It had caused her stomach to push up under her lungs and flip around into a figure 8 - closing off most of her stomach! The cat-scan showed that her stomach was mostly dead - but when they got in there, it wasn't and they were able to save the stomach!
They said she would be in the hospital for at least 2 weeks, but now they are saying just another week. She walked (with a walker) across her room yesterday, and was able to sit in a chair for a while. Her lungs look good (that was a major concern) and so far no infection. She is a fighter!
You are so right - Moms are special - and since I don't have much of a relationship w/ my dad - I'm not ready to lose mom yet! (Never will be!)
I think of you often, because I know how hard it would be for me to lose my mom - I'll continue to keep you in my prayers!

I am glad you mom is doing better - I remember how scary it all soundedwhen you were sharing it with us.

I knew Melissa's mom had been in the hospital but didn't know what was going on until my director let me know. She knows that Melissa and I have been chatting even though we are far away.

Missed this thread the first time around, but this is all on my prayer list now.

The family is on my prayer list as well. I lost my mom nearly 13 years ago... it's a tough thing to go through, and it still hurts.
