www.byzcath.org Forums Faith & Christian Life Prayer My mother will have surgery today

My mother had a horrible pain in her left breast last weekend and went to the emergency room on Monday (the 1st). They sent her home with antibiotics and vicadin telling her that she had 2 abscesses and needed to see her gynecologist first to check her out. She went this morning and the gyno told her that the doctor she saw on Monday was a fool to let for go and that she needed surgery ASAP to get rid of these abscesses, because it could be a rare cancer. So she's at the emergency room (at a different hospital from Monday) waiting to be operated on. I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could keep her in your prayers. Her name is Patricia (Patti). Thank you.

Prayers for Patricia

Through the intercession of St. Agatha, I pray that Patricia's surgery will proceed without complication.

My mom was admitted into the hospital around lunch time today and managed to get a little side room (which was nice, since they had patients in beds in the hallway. They were PACKED). They ran tests on her which we didn't receive results from until about an hour or so ago. Meanwhile, they placed two I.V. tubes in her, one for antibiotics, one for hydration (she apparently was extremely dehydrated. She looks ten times better than she has looked all week just because of that). The antibiotics were doing their job. The redness went down a lot. Then the test results came in and she just has an abundant supply of white blood cells in that area, which means she has a huge infection. No cancer, praise God. The doctor was supposed to come in either tonight or tomorrow morning to surgically remove the infection. It is the only way to remove it completely. So we left the hospital and weren't home for more than half an hour when we got a phone call from mom. The surgeon came in to see her, finally, and said that there was no time for an operation, since they were so packed. So he ordered a small operating table full of tools and just cut her open and scraped out the infection. Of course, the nurses weren't ready for that, so my mom only had the pain relieving medication in her from today. Not enough for operation, obviously. The nurses are now scrambling to find stronger pain relieving medications. Hopefully, mom will recover from that incident tonight and will be let go no later than Saturday morning, I'm hoping. Perhaps even tomorrow afternoon. I hope I never have to go through what she's just gone through!!! Holy Moses, incredible.

Gretchen,

I am praying that your mom, Patricia's, recovery goes well and that she feels better soon. Let us know how she is doing.

In the Name of Jesus,

My mom is doing much better now and is hopefully coming home tomorrow. The doctor will check her out today sometime to confirm that. Thank you all for your prayers! They worked.
