Today Judy was to have much needed surgery on her hip/leg because she has the MRCA infection in the bone. She could not have surgery because she has a blood clot in the back of her knee and the blood thinners have thinned her blood so much, she is now having transfusions to increase the clotting time of her blood. Today, however, the drs found 2 enlarged lymph nodes in her chest which will be checked out tomorrow with a CT Scan but the most pressing issue now is that her kidneys are shutting down. She may have to begin dialysis in order to have surgery and clear up the MRCA. Any number of these things could kill her. I am asking you for prayers for her and sharing of your love and encouragement by sending cards to her. I am asking anyone who would be so kind as to do this to send good wishes, prayers, etc to her. She is very down in the dumps but said she told God that whatever His path is for her, she is ok with it. I am not ok with losing my sister.
I am going to list her hospital address and I hope some of you will send cards but if you cannot do that, if you would pray for her and ask your churches to pray as well, I would truly appreciate it. You all lifted me up to God in your thoughts and prayers, and now my sister is in need.
Her is her address:
Ms. Judy Stevens
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
% Gibbon Building Room9132
111 S. 11th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107
USA
Thank you so much for your love, concern and consideration. I love my sister very much and I need her around for a long time. Pray for me too. I need to update my father tomorrow. He is 85 and she is his first born child.
I'll keep you all updated. Thanks again!!!!
