Need Some Prayers..

[WILMASBOYL78]

It's been a tough week...mom [the original Wilma} took a fall and broke her arm...and then the wheels came off. I won't list all the stuff that has happened since Saturday, but at the moment she is in ICU. The local hospital has been a nightmare...praying she gets a little stronger so she can be moved to another facility. She is in a tough spot. Please send some SYC magic her way.

Prayers sent; my wife just went through some stuff with her mother and my mother (80) has been through some crap too. It's tough seeing your parents get old. Here's hoping that evrything turns out okay.

[m22mike]

Hang in there Tom, my mom is 91, it can get tough.

Positive thoughts from St. Louis. Be thinking of you guys . . .

[earntaz]

Tom -- our prayers are with your Mom and your family ... hang in there!! And the Lord said "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

May The Lord bless you and keep you -- May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you ... May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

[Xplantdad]

Tom, we will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Let me know if you need anything.

[WILMASBOYL78]

Just got back from the hospital...she is better today. Sat up most of the afternoon in the chair...her smile was good and there was even a little "twinkle" in her eyes. If she remains stable tonite thru the morning she can return to a regular room tomorrow. Then I can work on getting her to a better spot for rehab...

Thanks for all the support... for both wilmas <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

[Postsedan]

Wishing your Mom all the very Best.....&quot;twinkle&quot; in her eyes is Great News.

Sounds like the well wishes and prayers have already started to work their magic; here's hoping that they continue to do so.

[barker]

She will be included in our daily prayers. YOU will be TOO!!

[WILMASBOYL78]

Wilma is moving to a regular room this morning...so things are looking up. Next step will be a spot for some rehab and then hopefully back to her senior living facility.

Thanks for the support.

Here is a photo from a couple of years ago on St. Patty's Day..I have no idea who the little guy in the picture is <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif

<span style="color: #6600CC"><span style="font-weight: bold">Tom, I know the feeling oh too well. My Mom passed away on July 24th of this year. My Dad is lost without her. They had 66+ years of marriage, so you can understand his &quot;pain.&quot; But I'm concerned about <span style="text-decoration: underline">him</span> falling at this point. He is 92 and getting more unstable everyday. We've tried to suggest a walker or a cane but he is too stubborn (or maybe too proud?) Anyway, all that to say I can relate to what you're going through and will add your Mom to my pray list. You're doing the best that you can. We can't watch over them 24/7 so at some point we just have to give them up to the Lord.
Blessings,
Joe</span></span>

[leach]

She is in my prayers will have congregation prayer for her at church tomorrow morning Tom. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif

Tom............Prayers for you and your Mom......

Ken

[L72COPO]

Tom, hope she continues to improve. Thoughts and prayers with you and her.

[ORIGLS6]

She's gonna do fine Tom. She's one tough lady. Stop to think: ........ she survived all these years with YOU! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

Prayers continue for both of you my friend!

[WILMASBOYL78]

UPDATE 10/27/24: We are trying to get her out of the hospital and transferred to a rehabilitation facility...the red tape/gov't paperwork is beyond description. If this is healthcare...somebody screwed up <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif

Thanks for all the support...I'm sure Wilma is feeling the love <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif

[bbbenny]

Things will come together, tom. Good luck with Wilma. BBBenny

[DW31S]

Be glad to pray for your Mom. My mother took a spill not long ago (she is 83) and I damn near cried when I saw her----she was laughing about it! She looked like she went a few rounds with Rocky Balboa! Really, I'll start tonight and hopefully, the prayers will make their way upstairs to the BIG MAN. Consider it done.

[Dog427435]

Tom – Hope things will continue to move positively for your Mom. You’re in our thoughts and prayers.

[69hurstSC]

All the best to you and Wilma!!

[WILMASBOYL78]

We still aren't out of the woods...lots of issues with breathing [02/co2]...trying to get it sorted out...I did find a pretty good rehab spot...but, we need to resolve the breathing issues first. It just keeps spinning....thanks again for all the good support.

Wilma

St. Patty's Day 2012...wish we were there now!

Tom, my thoughts and prayer for your mom. My mom is 93, and still with it but she is having a hard time remembering short term things.
All the best,
Andy

[ORIGLS6]

We'll kick it up a notch Tom. Hang tough Buddy.

[WILMASBOYL78]

Today was not a good day..she is struggling...I've decided to move her to a different medical facility...my confidence is not there for the current hospital.
Hard to keep it together...spent about an hour in the garage tonite just messing with the 70 L78 TH400 car...Wilma took a ride in that beast one day a few years back http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2014/10/full-1121-17774-dscn0775.jpg

Great Pics Tom.....thanks for sharing. More prayers being sent.

Dan

[PxTx]

Will keep sending the prayers Tom. Trust your gut on the care givers.

[WILMASBOYL78]

I have started the ball rolling to move her to another hospital where we have some friends on the inside...not sure if it will do the trick, but she deserves to have the best chance. Today will most likely be an interesting one navigating the medical mine field.

wilma

[Salvatore]

I know the feeling. making settlement today on my father-in-laws house. He has been living in Elm Terrace assisited living for 2 weeks now and my mother in Spring Gardens for over a month. Both had to be done at the same time and both do not want to be there.
Things will work out Tom.

[WILMASBOYL78]

Thanks Sammy...I have learned a lot about elder care over the past 5 years...if you need any info, ideas or input let me know.

wilma

[WILMASBOYL78]

Wilma's on the move to a new hospital and feeling a little better. I saw her briefly before they &quot;loaded her in the buggy&quot;...she has improved since yesterday. Hopefully the new place and some fresh eyes/brains will get things moving in the right direction.

Xmas a few years back..

[Xplantdad]

Glad she's feeling better Tom!

[WILMASBOYL78]

Wilma has arrived at Berkshire Medical Center...spoke to her doctor...he tells me she is very stable and improving...he seemed very optimistic about her prospects. I'm going there tomorrow afternoon for a &quot;personal inspection&quot;.

Go Wilma!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif

[RST]

Sending you good thoughts <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[WILMASBOYL78]

Just spoke to her nurse...things are good...she is smiling...resting well...doctors are on the job. What a difference a day makes!

[ORIGLS6]

Good that you're staying on top of things Tom. That's VITAL in situations like this.

Praying that things continue to improve!

[Postsedan]

Way to go Tom! We need a &quot;Wilma Rocks&quot; icon <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Sending more prayers.

Dan

[WILMASBOYL78]

Thanks for the good karma!!

Just spoke with her nurse...she is doing better today...they are doing some new tests and working on the best plan for treatment. I'm going to see her later this afternoon.

Ryan

[leach]

All our prayers are with her keep smiling. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif

[WILMASBOYL78]

Saw Wilma this afternoon...she is fairly stable, but still suffering from some breathing issues. Doctor feels there may have been a mild stroke a couple weeks back that started the downfall. They are doing an MRI to see what happened. The game plan is to keep treating her breathing issues and hopefully get her a little stronger. She is definitely in a better place for care...it will take some time to make improvements.

[WILMASBOYL78]

Things got pretty bad this afternoon...breathing problems really escalated. She started to do a little better tonite, but it is still very critical.

Tough day..

[daverd]

I will keep her in my prayers
And thoughts ..
My mom is 84 yrs old it's hard watching your mother ( or dad) suffer from old age troubles ...
I've been very lucky to have my mother in my life this long .... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[John]

.... my prayers are with you .... Hope your Mom gets better.

[Schonyenko2]

Much hope for your mom's quick recovery.

[WILMASBOYL78]

Wilma passed away this morning...she put up a good fight, but is now in a better place. Karen and I appreciate all the prayers and support...I'm sure she is smiling down on everyone who wished her well.

She will be missed.

Making progress...we are planning to have 2 memorial/celebrations for Wilma... One in our home town and the other at the senior residence she has lived at for the past 2 1/2 years...Camphill in Ghent, NY. The folks at Camphill are some of the most compassionate care givers I have ever met. It was a blessing for my mom to have spent some quality time there.

I'm gonna take a little break though to catch my breath...that way we can plan properly and have a nice tribute to her life.
