Sister-Law Struggling
I have not discussed much personal information in the past couple of weeks, but my sister-in-law is fighting for her life.
My sister-law has been having severe pain for about a month, we talked her into going to the emergency room two weeks ago in our small town of Jesup, Georgia. She stayed there for a couple of hours, her blood count was low, blood pressure low so they decided to send her to another hospital Savannah Memorial by ambulance where I was flown to in March. During this visit, they found gallstones and a blood clot in her intestines. They put her own blood thinners and sent her home.
A week later she went back a week later to Jesup Memorial hospital, they said no signs of clots and took her off blood thinners, gave her pain medication, and sent her home. They ignored her explaining her problems of not being able to have bowel movements.
The day before yesterday, her mom found her with her shirt up around her neck, green to lay vomit all over her, and she was in so much pain, so bad until it would make you cry and feel bad because could not do anything to help. Her mom called 911, they took her to Jesup Memorial, her blood count was low, and very low blood pressure. Jesup memorial gave her blood infusion and then called air vac to fly her to Savannah.
We could not visit her right away in Savannah because they were working on her, and they finally came out to the waiting area and told the family they don't believe she will make it through the day. They put her on 3 different medicines to raise her blood pressure it starts slowly coming up. The next thing they need was lay her on her stomach and paralyzed her from the neck down to keep her from moving as she swells up fast and it is affecting her other organs such as her lungs. Her oxygen level when she first arrived was 55, when we finally got to see her late afternoon it was up to 84. I asked the doctor what is her chances, he really didn't want to answer and told us she has a sepsis infection and they need her oxygen up to 95 so they can do more tests.
She is on life support, if they take her off the machine she will die. They believe the gallbladder busted. That is all they can do for now for her, with the little improvements her body is fighting the infection but she is swelling up. They believe she had a bad reaction to blood thinners for the reason of the swelling.
My sister-law same age as me and we became very close like sisters, when I saw her laying on her belly sleeping tears just started rolling, and could not control the,
I ask that the WA family, please pray for Shelia (Chris) as she has a young child only 10 and his mother is all he has and the father is out of the picture and wants nothing to do with his son.
I will be making the hour drive back to Savannah, Georgia an hour after my driver shows up to drive as I still cannot drive until it has been six months since my last seizure.

My prayers are with you and your family. The love and support of the family will give all of you the courage and strength to work through these challenging times. I can feel the love that you have for your family and know that this love is what will bring you all through.
Good morning, everyone, It was a long day yesterday at the hospital. They limited her visitors to only her 81-year-old mom and her 2 sons. Still, all the family stayed for support, because her mom is not handling this well.
Her vitals came up after putting her on kidney dialysis, but her oxygen levels were still low. They clearly told us that sepsis had caused organ damage to her lungs and kidneys. They said that her body is fighting very hard, but they still cannot move her back on her back to get other tests done to see what kind of brain damage she has. If the antibiotics work, we might consider putting her in a recovery home like a nursing home, or we can have hospice care come to their home to help her recover. They are trying to give us a little hope, but are confusing also!
The hospital asked us to limit the number of family members that show up because we are a big family and love her. We said no, we would be here every day until she is released. They have 2 big waiting areas, and we only filled up one waiting area.
Going back today The prayers are working. She already made it through 2 more nights when they told us she would not make it through the first day.
Thanks, everyone.
Hello J,
So so sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. I hope she gets better soon. We will be praying for her and you all; prayer works. I am an example of that. Prayers
Thanks! I believe prayers work, as I am also an example of that from my strokes in March that resulted in me being life-flighted as well.

Janette,
you can die from sepsis within 24 hours! The blood turns thick and it becomes too hard for the heart to pump it. Choke, meaning tons of vitamin C, well not that much, at home say a couple of grams on the hour, until you have to go to the potty to relieve yourself, bowels, then stop! Read up on it. Docs don't know about vitamins, they know about dollars.
If you see her she can probably hear you say, Shelia, you will live and not die, your son needs you, loves you, and it is not time for you to go, you will live and not die! I'll be praying on this side where I can claim the Name of Creator above all names and back you up.
And what about the fluids building up? Is that Congestive Heart Failure?
In the hospital that is diuretics to get rid of it. Then if it is CHF, vitamin B-1, the stinky B, stinky B alone, Super B plus C combination, or nutritional yeast even, like on popcorn, soup, etc. B-1 activates a nerve in the lungs to dump fluid, not near the lungs, look it up. Cheap alternative to medical shoveling hundreds of thousands of dollars around vs regularly taken B-1to keep it from ever coming back.
If you wanna B, watch your B's.
I can't believe it, but I'd be binding devil spirits before even letting her enter such a horrid place of a hospital! I can't believe there was no bowel specialist, strangled bowel, blocked bowel, leak into the abdominal cavity causing a severe, life-threatening infection. I am not a doctor, but you need to really check into what docs are doing, should not be doing these days and hospitals after the c8vid money collection, they seem not on their do no harm thing!
Shelia will live and not die, she has much to live for. Keep telling her this, over and over and how much you love her, bring her son for a visit so he can tell her that he loves her. He needs to see her, even if you have to lie about his age, I don't know if they ask that anymore. and you get a prayer watch going for her even if it is KLOVE.
