URGENT PRAYERS REQUEST

Hi All,

Kindly keep my friend Gail in your thoughts and prayers.

This is the mail from her daughter.


Gail had leukemia.
Gail is not doing well at all will you PLEASE pass this email on to your prayer warriors honey and have them pass it on too.

From Jess, Gail's daughter.
I'm kind of sending this out to a couple different people, so here's the update on Mom. Jayme and I were up in Madison all day at the hospital. On the way up there, we got a phone call that they needed to transfer her to the Intensive Care Unit. When we got up there, they were in the process of moving her. I won't lie, she looked like hell. She had a bipap machine to force oxygen in her, and she was in amazing pain. Her new oncologist, Dr. Sanyal, told us the news. First of all, she didn't rest last night. She slept for a couple hours, then woke up in pain and pulled out her I.v. And tore off her oxygen. Her lumbar puncture did NOT go well yesterday. They tried twice and Mom refused any more tries. I don't blame her. Chemo needed to be started today, hence her move into ICU.She was put on a ventilator to breathe for her. They are keeping her as comfortable and "restful" as possible. The first blast of chemo was done in a half an hour. That was the one that is more likely to cause a bad reaction. Her blood pressure keeps dipping, but they are working with that too. Her other round of chemo was started after the first one. She got the emails and the hospitals makes them into cards. We are holding onto them. The doctor told us that without the chemo, she would have been dead by Monday. Now, being lung compromised, they are still only giving her a 15-20% chance to live. If you pray, keep on! She's conquered today! I suppose, my nerves are absolutely frazzled-WAY too many anxiety attacks for me today...I'll update tomorrow!
Love and hugs, Jess
