Granny's gone and done it again

[h2oratt]

Got a message from a daughter in our family group messages. The daughter I've spoken of that is deeply depressed. She had a special surgery done .. tube in stomach to keep her fed. Tonight she asked for prayers. Her stomach isn't doing well. She thinks she's going septic. She's a nurse. For the NICU, but she would still know. She went as far to say...I'm just wishing for death at this point. Shes been throgh a lot lately with this tubing method. First throat, then the stomach. Shes headed for St. Marks hospital in the Salt Lake area. Blue, will you post for prayers for me on the other thread? Praying .. not another death. Not another. Three years in a row is enough! I wish they could just make her better. This stomach tubing was supposed to help her be better big time.

I am s sorry. Did she quit eating because she was depressed?

It's taken care of, Cynthia. I'm going to sign off and go talk to God right now.

Good night, h2o. Good night, Cynthia.

Mel's new digs are looking kind of weird. Used what i had, need paint to make it uniform. Will have to wait until things dry up. And i find cheap paint.

Still need to screw boards on to attach roofing to.

I have a guy holding a futon frame for me in Martinsville so i can pick up Thursday at 6 pm. Which screws up my ceramics class. So i guess i will go Wednesday instead. Maybe take the truck so i can look at stuff , in Habitat and thrift stores to finish up furnishing the studio.
I was hoping to pick up the futon earlier in the day, but i guess he works.

I can't sleep..update..she has a lof of infection. She's being admitted ..possible surgery in the morning.

wonder which one would stick to his legs longer. So his pants dont rub it off.

Not sure. You could cover it lightly with some gauze. They use it for burns, and apparently leave the dressing on for several days. There are different formulations, so I would go by the label.

That sounds like a good thing to have on hand. Why does your Dad need it?

Old age, fragile skin, chopping firewood and other farm tasks... rips up his forearms and the backs of his hands. Takes awhile to heal.

It started years ago. When her mom, Scott's ..my late husband..former wife died of suicide. She's my stepdaughter but these kids are mine. I love them all so much. She took it the hardest when Karlene passed. Bipolaralso. I know it can be genetic. Tavonny..Taff..started being bulimic. Purging, non stop exercising. Through the years ..after having her children..she became anorexic. She got so tiny. Skin and bones. Hospitalized many times like her mom had. At least she knew when she needed help and said, I need to go to the hospital or clinic where she would be for at least a month while they changed meds and had therapy. It was never mentioned why she needed a tube down her throat..but we knew when she said she couldn't keep food down. Her body had become used to that action. The tube....her NG tube kept getting clogged, pulled out, so she had the permanent one placed but it also had a lot of risks and problems associated with it being done. I guess infection being one of them. Sounds like there is a lot of infection. Stomach pain has to be one of the worse pains I've experienced in my life. I can't imagine her pain. She was saying last night how bad it hurt. Bless her heart. She's suffered all of her life. Well, since her teens. She's in her 50's now. Wow. I just shared all of this here. Never anywhere else like this. Guess it's easier with internet friends. Thank you for prayers and thoughts. You all know me by now. I believe it's in God's hands. Not sure yet if they'll do surgery or medication. Not sure what they could do with surgery other than taking it out.
