12/14/03 Mom Update

Published on December 14, 2003 By ShawnSkeele In Home & Family

Saturday, 12/13/03, Mom ended up going back on the respirator. Vital signs were acting up again and indications of pain and discomfort were evident. The fluid in the right lung continues to cause problems with the breathing.

Sunday, a cat scan was done. A tube will have to be put in the right lung for draining. Also, a restricting blood clot of the pulmonary artery was detected. This is a profound concern. A "filter" will be placed in a vein in the hip that will filter the blood coming from the legs which is most likely where the clotting is coming from. jThe heparin blood thinner she has been on hopefully will along with the filter dissolve the clot in the artery. Pain medication on a regular basis has started.

The filter and tube will be put in tomorrow morning.

Please pray for the obvious, but also the nursing staff attending the floor. Scott's back is doing better as well as Dad's cold. My family and I though are fighting some bug. Marty and Autumn has a low grade fever and I fear it's affects are beginning on me tonight. I probably won't be able to see Mom for a couple of days.

God bless you all.

Appreciatively Yours,

Skeele Family

What a setback, Shawn. Thank God they are on top of things, though. Shall increase prayers and hope she responds well to this latest treatment. So much for her to fight off.
Glad to hear Win and Scott are doing a bit better. Now for you to get a couple of days off to rest and recover. Are other family members spelling you each day? I hope so. Take care. Bonnie

Father, I come to You through the blood of Jesus and plead the blood of Jesus over the Skeele family. I speak to the flu that is effecting all and cast it out of all, into the sea never to reutrn. I pray Your healing touch over the mother and speak to the fluid in the right lung and the pneumonia to be removed and cast out never to return. I speak these things as You have said that we have that authority through the blood of Jesus. I also speak to her body and command it to heal completely and that she rise up and praise Your holy name! In Jesus precious name I pray and thankYou that You are faithful and that You watch over Your words that we speak to perform them. Amen. Betty
