My Mom is going in on Wednesday for a long awaited neck surgery. It was supposed to be just a quick in and out surgery lasting only a couple of hours before she went home. But this week when she went in for her pre-op physical her blood pressure was very high and there was something abnormal about her heart.
They sent her for an EKG and she has a heart murmur and what they believe is scar tissue on her heart. At this point they are still moving forward with the surgery but it will require at least one night stay in the hospital.
She is feeling very emotional about the whole thing and doesn't have a whole lot of local support from family and friends. I'm all the way in Mexico so I can't do anything for her!
After release from the hospital she gets to go home and care for herself:( Not a very good situation.
My prayer is that God will give her peace and comfort which will also keep her blood pressure down. I would also like prayer that God would provide some caring individual to take care of her for the first week.
Thank you for your prayers.
