My amazing mother has been down and out since right before Christmas. She had 2 feet of her colon removed because it was twisted and diseased. She has a colostomy bag at the moment. Once she heals from this, the Dr feels confident he can reverse it so she can be normal again.

She has been to the ER a few times...admitted once for over a week. 

She is currently in a physical rehab facility. She has extended her rehab benefits and it will cost $203/day.

We need your help! We do not like having to ask for help but we know we cannot do this alone. Mom is on a fixed income. Dianna is the only one working a job that brings in a set amount. My pet sitting takes care of my car payment and car insurance. My disability $ takes care of the house and other expenses.

Mom feels bad about needing help. She is independent but she also knows we need it. 

Mom is very precious to us. She has always been there for us. Now it is our turn. If you feel led to give, please do. Mom has been actively encouraging people for years with her cards, words of encouragement and her crossstitch bookmarks. She is a Godly woman and a prayer warrior.

Thank you in advance!

Mom has been home for over a month. I have paid off 2 of the smaller bills with your donations.

We still have many medical bills. We all thank you for the donations. It has taken a bit of stress off.

We still need more $ to pay those pesky bills. Mom's money is limited. She draws SS and has a little bit in savings. So between Dr copays and her medical needed items, it is hard. 

Mom follows up with the urologist today to scan her bladder. We are praying the catheter can come out.

Many thanks for the donations, prayers, groceries, prepared meals, lawn care, etc. We really appreciate it. It takes a village sometimes.

May God Bless all of you!

I posted this on FB but I wanted to update here too. Some people do not have FB.

 

Update 2/29/24 (Leap Year) 1:00 pm

 

The blood work and urine results came back on Mom from the regular Dr. Her potassium levels were low and her kidney function is still reading low. Her urine came back clean. She is being given potassium to help. 

 

Today, we saw the colon surgeon for a follow-up. He said everything was looking great. She doesn't have to come back to him unless she has trouble or she gets strong enough to reverse the ostomy bag. 

 

I think Mom has a urology appointment on Monday. I will update as we know more.

 

She also needs to see a cardiologist and a nephrologist...when we can.

 

We are still hopeful she can come home soon. Keep the prayers coming.

 

Bills are coming in. Everything is so expensive. If you feel led to give, please do so: http://spot.fund/k578dsc

 

I also have Venmo (@dedracagle); just comment Rena so I know where to put funds.

 

Thank you all for everything. We are so humble and grateful for everything.

Mom will have a procedure done tomorrow to help with the ostomy bag and a port put in.

We appreciate the prayers and donations.
