Please pray for my Mom
Please pray for my mom. She's been having dizzy spells, a loss of appetite, and weight loss problems. They've run all kinds of blood tests on her and they have done all kinds of procedures on her and were coming up with nothing wrong with her, except to change her blood pressure medicine. The change seemed to help with the dizzy spells, but today they had an endoscopic procedure done. My oldest sister took her to have the procedure done, and I stayed at home thinking she would be home in a few hours. Something went wrong during the procedure and there was some internal bleeding. The endoscopic test revealed some possible cancerous region in her stomach. They did a biopsy, but the pathololgist won't know anything until tomorrow. She is being kept overnight for observation.
What kills me is knowing that while my mother was having the procedure done, I stupidly went for a walk. I just figured that they would allow her to wake up before sending her home. I can't believe I went for a walk. I should have gone with my sister and mom or stayed here where I would have the phone ring.
Please, please pray for my mom.

Please don't blame yourself. There was no way for you to know that this would happen! You need to take care of yourself, too! Therapeutic activities (like walking to help alleviate stress and clear your head) are so important!
I feel strongly that everything happens for a reason. There was a reason why you didn't need to be present during her procedure. Your older sister took the reins at the hospital. It was just the way that it was intended to be!
You are such a kind and sweet person. Perhaps you just needed recharging so that you could help your mom in her recovery after the procedure.
We all have our own special and individual gifts. Your sister was meant to "hold down the fort" during the procedure so that you could come in afterward and do what you do best: Use your kind and generous spirit to help your mom during the healing process.

natasha, 2 weeks ago | FlagSR52....I will definately
pray for your mom! I am so sorry this is all going on....hope fully the tests will all come back OK. But - don't second guess yourself or feel guilty about taking a walk instead of going along to the doctor (or waiting by the phone.) For all you knew, she was going in for a routine test - and your sister was with her (good hands to be in, I am sure.).... I am certain your mom knows how supportive you are; you should not feel bad for assuming the procedure would be a simple one. I hope everything turns out fine...ple ase keep us posted.
