UPDATE:

RD passed from this world yesterday.

Faye will go to a rehab facility maybe tomorrow.
Faye’s granddaughter Meesha had a car crash Friday night and had surgery yesterday late- she is in 11 grade, just got license- on an unfamiliar road at night taking a couple girlfriends home- she missed a curve and they hit a tree- thankfully the others were not injured and that they all survived. Surgeon said he had to put plates and screws to repair Meesha’s ankle and a year recovery.

Thank you all for prayers for family. I may not be able to answer each and everyone at this time but know I will read and appreciate each and everyone of you.❤️

Adding a picture of 3 of the siblings. Only 5 of them left now. One other sister Nelda couldn’t be here as her husband has cancer and he needs her and Quince in nursing home.
I took this picture when we went to other hospital after we left RD’s hospital. We also stayed with Brenda and Melanie, Meesha’s grandmother and mom during Meesha’s surgery. It was a long 2 days with an hour of sleep.
My husband 75
Faye 97
Nita 80

RD was 87
Quince is 95 and
Nelda is 78
All up in age

Hi Cuties, this is what sometimes happens when you have a large family.
As I stated in my last post, we decided to come back from our trip Wednesday night, although they wanted us to stay another night and leave Thursday morning. It’s a good thing we came home when we did.
Our niece called Thursday today her dad which is my husband’s brother was having a massive heart attack. He had gone into the hospital the day before bc of shortness of breath when he tried to walk. The dr had just been in his room and was in the hall when he coded. They had to shock him twice and he is now in ICU.
He has 2 blockages one is 90%..unable to repair at this time due to his heart being very weak…. He is in ICU sedated, intubated, and machine beating for him right now because his heart is so weak they are giving his heart a break and hopes are that at some point they can go in and put stents in.
R.D. is critical but stable… he did well through the night… they adjusted some medications and added some lines to monitor real time vitals in his heart… they are not going to do the stents today…. The doctor believes that he is stable with the interventions they have right now and he wants his heart to rest as much as possible to have the best chance.. they eased up on the sedation for a little while last night to see if he could respond and he did.. the nurse reported that he was able to follow commands and nod his head which is good… but bumped sedation back up to keep him calm. <br /><br />
His heart is only functioning at 15% and it’s not a good survival chance to do the surgery until his heart improves. RD is 87 but has been very active his entire life.
Also, when the above niece Starla called, I was on the phone with another niece Brenda. Brenda’s mom Faye is my husband’s oldest sister age 97. Brenda had to call the ambulance bc Faye fell at her home. She has a swollen ankle that could possibly be broken but too swollen to tell. She also has a UTI so she was admitted in a different hospital than RD although they are in the same town.
Last week the oldest brother Quince age 95 had a stroke. It has affected his left side.
There were 12 siblings but there are only half still living. Half of those are these three.
Quince is able to feed himself with his right hand. His dementia…well you know how that goes so now he in a nursing home.
Faye will need rehab therapy so Brenda is hoping to get her into a nursing home as well, when she is released from hospital.
RD is another matter. His chances aren’t favorable but we know if God chooses to heal him, He can, no matter what chances the drs give him. RD also has had 4th stage kidney disease for a good while. The dye they have to use could further damage his kidneys. IF he survives it will be God’s will and a miracle witnessed. We ask His will be done and also want to say…. we believe in miracles.
