Subject: Prayer request Author: Hillbilly [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:08:56 04/16/10 Fri Hi all. Asking prayers for Dale. She has been in the hospital since Wed eve. We spent 17 hours in the emergency room. She had pneumonia and a bowel blockage. The pneumonia has cleared but the blockage hasn't. She hasn't had anything to eat since Monday and she threw everything up she tried to eat since then. They have inserted a tube through her nose and down into her stomach to try and suction everything that might be causing the blockage. If this doesn't do the trick she may be facing surgery. I haven't had time to even peek in here and that is the reason I haven't posted or replied. Hopefully things will go well with Dale and we can all get back to normal soon. God bless, Dwight [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Hillbilly Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:55:51 04/17/10 Sat Oh my goodness. So sorry to hear of Dale's problems. You betcha prayers are going up to the Great Physician for her quick recovery and for you and the rest of the family too.

[> Subject: Hillbilly Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:40:18 04/19/10 Mon I know you are busy but if you get a moment could you let us know the latest on Dale. Sure hope it's good news. God Bless!

[> Subject: Hillbilly Author: Sandy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:50:58 04/19/10 Mon Amen. Saw this yesterday when I came in here, our praying for her, assuming this is your wife. But doesn't matter, of course.

[> [> Subject: Thanks Connie and Sandy Author: Hillbilly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:29:11 04/19/10 Mon Yes Sandy it is my wife. We have been married nearly 45 years. Dale seems better. They took the tube they had inserted through her nose and down to her stomach out about 2 1/2 hours ago. She is on liquids for the day and if she does ok with that she will receive semi-solids. If she does ok with that they will progress to more and more solid food. As of today she had been about 8 days without food and was quite weak. The x-rays don't show any blockage presently so we are hopeful the closed intestine has opened again. The Crohn's flare up caused her intestine to swell until it swelled shut. At least that is what the doctor thinks has happened. We won't know whether she has escaped surgery until we know for sure the digestive track is opening all the way through. I thank you for your prayers for her and ask that you keep praying. This has been a rough time for her but our trust is in the Lord who we know through experience is the Great Physician. God bless all, Dwight

[> Subject: Gosh Hillbilly Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:22:46 04/19/10 Mon Just got back from my trip late yesterday and didn't see this until this evening. I will definitely keep Dale in my prayers. It sounds like things might be clearing up for her. I sure hope so. Will pray that she is on the road to recovery. I'm glad she's been able to eat again. Poor thing is already thin enough. Please give her our love, will you? xoxo
