Evening update

Thank you to everyone for your prayers. We spent more time today up at the hospital. It's been a long day it seems. Mammaw was awake this morning when my husband visited. She was talking some but didn't remember last night, one of her grandsons being there, etc. After lunch we went back together and she was about the same. The doctor was talking with the family when we got there. He said he will try to drain the abscess on her back on Monday. I believe in 1996 she had some hardware put into her back (they call it a rod) and it is trying to protrude and it has an infection. She is very weak and her blood is so thin so they're trying to giver her things to thicken her blood over the weekend.

Her daughter called 911 Tuesday a.m. because they found her in bed, not sure she was alive. Her body was apparently full of toxins. I believe they called it septic (or septis? I don't know) shock. She had her dialysis today. Tonight when I went in to see her, she tried to talk to me. She was watching TV. I couldn't make out her words, it was like she had to think of what she was saying. She seems very weak to us and like she is in pain. She's still struggling with her breaths and has irregular heart beat and her blood pressure gets extremely low.

Thank you for your prayers.
