My MIL has been in the hospital since right before Christmas. She is Very, very sick. She has Cancer, and a lot of complications have taken place as of late. We hope to have her out by New Years Day, but there's no guarantee. They will only release her with if they can arrange for her to have a home attendant/Visiting Nurse from now on.

It's pretty touch and go right now, so please say prayers.

Thanks to everyone who cares so much that have asked about me and the phone calls.

My MIL has gone from bad to worse. She has to have emergency surgery, I'm very scared. It's hit or miss, and she is very high risk at the moment. Please keep praying for us.

Thanks everyone so much, your words mean so much

It looks like she will be going to surgery tomorrow. They can't wait much longer. We wanted it for today, but she refuses to do it before her other son gets here (he lives in N. Carolina) so Len and I bought his ticket yesterday, and he'll be here tomorrow morning.

I'll keep you all updated. Thanks again

Thank you ladies so much. It seems I only have bad news to post

MIL is now refusing the emergency surgery (that is her only chance at surviving) and she's refusing the tube they need to insert to hold her off until surgery.
What to do?

Thanks ladies
I just got off the phone with the docs.

It's only a matter of time. My MIL will be leaving us very soon. DH is coming upstairs now and I have to give him the update.

I prayed God for strength and I can feel it. Thank you all for everything.
