My mother has been at the hospital for a week due to aortic dissection. Basically her arteries are cut in two spots and blood is leaking out from these holes.
The doctors have been trying to keep her blood pressure low so that the arteries could heal but it has taken a turn for the worse and she now has more blood leaking into her lungs which are already filled with fluid. They finally decided to operate today but I'm scared to death because apparently her condition and the operation can be fatal. Not doing anything can make it worse, but trying to help can also endanger her life.
Please keep her in your prayers for me. Although I'm a grown woman, I can't imagine my life without her...my wedding next year, my first child, etc...
TIA
