    Could use a few prayers....

    I never thought after responding to Tylers thread yesterday, I'd be asking for prayers for my mom next.

    I went over to see her yesterday to give her that extra hug, but dad said she hadn't been feeling well the last couple of days and was in bed, so I thought I'd come back later. I had no way of knowing it would be at 1:00 a.m. Dad called and said mom was pretty bad and needed help taking her to the hospital. I live about a mile and a half away so I got there in no time.

    As soon as I saw mom I told dad to forget taking her and get an ambulance out here, which he did. She was breathing very hard and was "out of it". As we were waiting for the ambulance I held mom and was asking her questions to get her to talk but she was incoherent. I kept thinking I wish I could have given her that hug today like I wanted to.

    They got her to the hospital after getting her somewhat stabilized...Dad commented "man she looks old" (she is soon to be 80) Long story short she has pneumonia (don't know what else yet, I hope no stroke like the paramedic mentioned could be a possibility) temp was 103.7, and is going to be in the hospital for a bit I'm sure.

    I believe in God and the power of prayer, if you got a few extras...my mom could sure use them.....and if you can, give your mom ( and dad) a call or a hug . I'm heading back over to the hospital to see if I can give mine that hug today.

    I will add your mother to my prayers. Good luck Steve and hang in there. Sometimes the going gets really rough, but you have what it takes to get through.
    Just keep working on it. It'll give up and do right after a while.

    Steve,

    Like everyone else has said you and you family have the prayers of the Moore Family. Hang in there and if you need something just let your extended family on SMC know what you need.

    God Bless
