My mom is back in the hospital again. We had to call the ambulance yesterday evening and were in the emergency room until 2:30 this morning. They've put her in ICU now. Her C02 levels were very high and she has retained more fluid from the congestive heart failure. We told the attending physician in the ER that we hadn't heard anything back from the bone marrow biopsy test she had done in June. He thought that was odd and did some checking. He got someone to look in the files and they found the report... from June 12th. We had never been notified the final results were in. When she had her last visit her family doctor told her he didn't have the full final results and he wanted to wait until then to tell her. The report we got last night said... chronic myelogenous leukemia.
The ER doctor tried to console us best that he could, but it really wasn't his place. We should have been told by her family doctor, or at least I think so. I'm trying not to be angry about this. Right now we have to do what's best for my mom. As you can guess I'm very scared. I had a feeling with all she's been through since last September with the anemia, the blood transfusions, and high white cell counts it might be something like this. But when it's confirmed well, it's not something that one can prepare for.
Please remember my mom in your prayers and/or thoughts. I'm sorry I've been asking so much in the past bit, but I do believe in prayer and any positive energies sent this way will be appreciated. I'm trying to be strong because I'm the only child and I have to be there for both mom and dad. I'm trying to stay focused on tasks and what has to be done right now. But I have to admit to you all right now my spirits are pretty low. I'm heading back to the hospital now and I wanted you to know what happened. Thanks for listening.

Lainey, if there's anything at all I can do, besides prayer (which I will do fervently) please let me know. You know we have some experience with your mother's diagnosis...again, let me know.

Dear Lord,
We say a prayer for Lainey's mom. We face such tragedies in our earthly life and we get thru them with help from You. We ask that You spread Your healing light over her and bring her relief from any pain or discomfort she has.
We also pray for the family. Bring them comfort and rest and guide them on this journey thru life.
In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen
May God bless those who love the soil,
Patsy

Lainey, I am so sorry your Mom had to hear such awful news. Sorry for all of you. That Dr. of hers should be doing some big time apologizing. All of you have been through so much, I pray that there is hope and she will recover.

Thank you all again for the words and prayers. Mom is still in ICU but her CO2 levels are down. Still not to normal but better. She more alert now and not as confused as before. I'm on my way in a bit to see her but I wanted to thank everyone for remembering her and give an update on her progress.

Sending good thoughts your way and I hope your mom continues to improve. Shame on the doctor who did not tell her of the results. He's obligated, professionally and morally, to deliver such news.
