ma ma's yucky tummy :(

what a week this has been...... oh my...where do i start????
my mom had not been feeling all that great last sundy/monday....she was up all night with abdominal pain........so much that my dad ended up taking her to see her doctor.
well long story, short form - he ended up admitting her into the hospital to do some testing and treat her via iv therapy......sooooooooo she was quite miserable.....
well...after doing xrays and a ct scan -her doctor said that the testing showed a tear in her colon - narrowing it down to either diverticulitis or colon cancer.....the tear caused waste to enter her body and blood....thereby "poisoning" her......this had been going on for some time - years!!!!!well....needless to stay her temporary hospital stay has now turned into an indefiniate stay - by that i mean, just when she started back on solid food, she had complcations so she wasnt able to go home today like planned.....sooooo she will be in the hospital a bit longer...she is in good spirits now, and its a day by day thing til she gets back to health enough to do a colonoscopy to determine the cause of the tear.....
from there we will just keep moving along in the right direction to recovery....

soooooo, being that she was in the hospital for thanksgiving - i had my family members each write a little note to her, and i in turn made the notes into a "thankful hearts" book......here is a glimpse of it......
