Could Use Some Prayers Please (UPDATE)
Jan 8^th, 2009 at 11:07pm

For my Mom, she is 82 years young. She has her own house, and drives a car (I monitor that one myself) and is quite active.
Today she called complaining that she could not breath very well, so we got her to the ER right away. While me, Angie and my oldest brother Jim were with her she had Congested heart failure, and the doc said this is not good, thought she was gone.

She is stable now and in ICU, so I ask if you all can send some prayers and vibes her way, we would really appreciate them.

I've been out of the medical field for a long time, and I'm not sure what they are doing for CHF, now. (or if there's much they can do...) Very best wishes for her healing and comfort, and to you and your family, as well.

Barry,

You know you've got my prayers! Just keep in mind that CHF is something that one can recover from, depending on the reasoning for it. It's not like some organ failure where you hear "failure" and the next step is transplant because it is irreversible. Congestive Heart Failure can be a condition that a patient can get through, depending on the cause.

You and your family have all of my prayers for her speedy recovery! Hang in there!!!

Much love and hugs,
Carrie
