LILA IN HOSPITAL

Uncle Bill,

Just to let you know, mom took a turn for the worse at dialysis yesterday. Her blood pressure dropped down to 20 and so they had to admit her to ICU. Linda and I were headed out to Bismarck when Cindy called to say that mom is stablizing and to wait. I contacted the nurse this morning, and mom is now stable. Her blood pressure is back up and her labs are looking better.It could be a rocky road for a few days and with mother, you never know. She has such a strong will to live and the Doctor says that although she is not out of the woods, she's doing ok for now. As long as she remains stable, we will wait to make the trip to Bismarck. Cindy, Tim and Karen are keeping vigal for now and will keep us abreast so that if she takes another turn for the worse, Linda and I will then head out to Bismarck. We're praying that she can return to the Nursing Home and will again pull out of this. She has lost a trememdous amount of weight and has a hard time talking on the phone because she just can't be without the oxygen mask. She's very weak, doesn't have an appetite (which is very unusual for mom).

We ask for prayers for mom from all of you. They do work and she is living proof of that!
