Alabama Update

FYI: Retta is in the hospital with pancreatitis. She went in on Sunday and will be there at least a few more days until the inflammation heals and she can start eating again. Please pray for Retta's comfort, that the doctors can determine what caused the attack, and for their family. "When Mama's sick, ain't nothin' right!"

I've heard that that is a very uncomfortable illness. She (and all of you) are in our thoughts and prayers! Keep us posted.

Am praying for Retta. So sorry to hear of her ailing. Wish I could help out, but unfortunately you are so near and yet so far from Decatur.

Retta's still in UAB West hospital in Bessemer AL. She has been with no food/liquids since Sunday morning. She had intense pain Sunday (she said worse than childbirth) and they have been giving her strong pain meds.

Today, they weaned her from the pain meds to Tylenol and tried to introduce liquids. She didn't react well to the Grape Juice and went back to morphine.

Amber had a "I miss Momma" meltdown and she and I went back to the hospital at 9 tonight for a visit. The doctors are saying she will probably be in until Thursday or Friday depending on how she does with liquids/food on Wednesday.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. EDK
