My grandma was just admitted to hospital...
 

with gallstones. They are running additional tests and will have results tomorrow. At her age, surgery could be very difficult. She is 95 years old.

Prayers would be greatly appreciated...

Praying for your grandmother. And also your uncle.

Praying. They are very reluctant to put someone of that age under anesthesia.

Oh Tina, your poor grandma! I'll pray for her.

Re: My grandma was just admitted to hospital...
 

Test results are in.

The cardiologist says that Grandma's heart is strong. They are not going to do the surgery to remove the gall bladder because Grandma does not want them to put her to sleep. At 11am today they are going to heavily sedate her to run a tube down her throat and use a laser to try and break up the gallstones. They said this must be done because one of the gall stones is blocking the opening of the gall bladder. Please pray that this procedure will be successful-- and that Grandma will come through it okay.

Thanks everyone for the prayers.... they are greatly appreciated.

Just got a call. The above procedure was unsuccessful. They were not able to find the stone that they said was blocking the opening. Now we are unsure if the stone has moved itself from the opening or what. Grandma's kids who are there have asked that another test be done to see what happened to the stone.

The surgeon said that if the stone is still there, it is possible that it could move and lodge in the pancreas. However, it is very possible that prayer has changed things and maybe the stone is just gone.

They have told the children that surgery is the only option.

Continued prayer is greatly appreciated.

One other thing... I have one uncle who has a very negative outlook about everything---He is on his way over to the hospital. I'm praying he has car trouble or something.... because my grandma really doesn't need his negative attitude right now.

Still praying for your family

Praying for here.

Re: My grandma was just admitted to hospital...
 

Today's update is that she has passed one of the stones!! They have put off doing surgery till the first of the week. They are hoping that she will pass the other two stones over the weekend-- and that they can avoid doing the surgery.

Prayer is making a difference. Thanks for continuing to pray...

Re: My grandma was just admitted to hospital...
 

Grandma has been moved to the Cardiac Care Unit due to having very irregular heartbeat. They are trying to get it stabilized, and plan on doing the gall bladder surgery at 6am tomorrow if she is stable enough for surgery.

Continued prayer appreciated...

Still praying here for your grandmother.

Re: My grandma was just admitted to hospital...
 

Surgery was cancelled this morning.

My uncle who I was dreading being there threw a big fit with the surgeon this morning, telling him he wasn't skilled enough to do the surgery. So the surgeon refused to do the surgery.

Now He (the uncle) is trying to get Grandma transferred to University of Alabama...... since her surgery is a "high risk" due to her age...

The rest of the family is furious with him for what he has done.

Re: My grandma was just admitted to hospital...
 

Grandma was transferred to UofA Hospital today. They are doing a procedure on her today to check and see if the other two stones are in danger of blocking anything. She will be kept a few days for observation, then will be moved to Huntsville (where Aunt Marion can check on her every day and continue to work) to a rehab facility for therapy & observation for 21 days.

Re: My grandma was just admitted to hospital...
 

They found no gallstones. Prayer changes things. She will be released in a couple of days. They want to get her strength built back up a little before sending her to rehab.

Re: My grandma was just admitted to hospital...
 

Praise The Lord !!! God Is So AWESOME!!! :)

Re: My grandma was just admitted to hospital...
