This is Marla’s middle, and might I say most loyal daughter ,Bel, blogging for her tonight. For the last two days she was admitted to Mercy Hospital for a bowel obstruction. They also found 2 lesions on her liver. Because of all the pain medication she is unable to blog now, let alone keep her eyes open. A decision on surgery will be made in the next few days. Knowing that this wasn’t life threatening was a comfort. I just knew I would be able to go in her room like a breeze and with a smile on my face, bring a little comfort…I was wrong. To see my mom who is so strong in spirit and quick to take care of everyone and everything, now knocked off her feet, left me speechless. Her eyes were constantly rolling back into her head trying to carry conversation, as she kept repeating how horrible her head and throat hurt. As my Dad, Miranda and I were in the room with her, we kept looking at each other trying to hide the tears from her, that kept watering up inside of us. We know this won’t keep her down but there’s nothing anyone can do take her pain away. Until then keep her in your prayers, and for anyone who doesn‘t pray much, ask God to show his power and heal her body, that he would bring comfort and rest to her….actually, scratch that thought…it sounds like a prayer you’d send someone to the grave with. So in your own words, from your heart, talk to God on her behalf- for his healing hand over her entire body and that you might soon enjoy her devious and yet very entertaining thoughts and feelings on life that we so crave to read.
P.S. If your wondering why the title doesn’t match my words it because I had no thoughts so decided to ask my overly sedated mother…hence her view point and mine not :)

I will pray for her. But she could also get a blessing from the Elders of the church. She's a strong person, but prayer always helps. :)
praying for her even as i'm reading. she is a very strong lady so i know it is really hard to see her down.
keep us posted and let her know that her cyber-friends are praying for her.
Oh wow, that seems so unexpected. Here's to a quick stop the pain and a successful recovery. I'm definitely thinking of her.
Praying praying praying!!!! She HAS to get better soon - we have a margarita/coffee date sometime during this lifetime! Tell her I love her!
Praying for my sweet friend Marla right now...and the tile made me laugh after reading the entire post because that is SO Marla. Love you sweet friend and you will be in my thoughts constantly. Keep us posted!
I don't know your mom but I read her blog constantly. She always brings a smile to my face. I also will be praying for a quick recovery and relief from her pain.
Prayers being sent!!!!!
I had a bowel obstruction last October so I know how painful it is and annoying to be in the hospital.
I hope that you don't need surgery, that nurses treat you well, that you get out of the hospital quickly and that you recover even faster!!!!
((((HUGS GIRLIE!!!)))
Oh my goodness! Will pray and please keep us updated
Oh gosh. I'm the biggest baby in the world when it comes to pain. So I can only imagine.
Tell Marla, when she's coherent, that we are all praying and pulling for her. We will miss her wit and sense of humor. She needs to hurry back.
Please, Please!, send my best regards forward to your Mom and let her know I am thinking of her and sending positive thoughts her way.
Though I don't know her personally, I absolutely love her wit and outlook on life. I also have a selfish self-interest in her well being as she represents a full 50% of my readership. My sponsor is going to be a bit miffed if traffic dwindles down only to my mother!
Get well soon.
Thanks for the heads up about your Mum Bel.
Marla - get some rest, get better and relax back knowing that you have done a good job on those kids of yours (well at least one anyway - the rest might be rubbish! :-)
oh my goodness, praying for Marla, that she will be healed quickly!
What a shock it was to read about Marla. I am keeping her in my prayers along with your whole family and the medical staff who is taking care of her. God bless you all!
Oh sweetie! Hugs for you and prayers for her....
I'm sending lots of positive thoughts and energy to Marla and all of you! Tell her she will have oodles of things to blog about now and that might get a smile out of her. Hugs!
Thanks for letting us know, Bel.
Marla, I'll be praying for you. I hope you recover quickly. We'll reschedule our meeting when you're back to your usual energetic self. Until then, get some rest.
I will be praying for your mom! Hopes she feels better real soon!
Oh no! So sorry...I will be praying for her!
Sending my prayers and hoping for a speedy recovery!!!
I am sending all the good thoughts and white light I can muster up.
You will be in my thoughts. Please post an update when you can!
Please keep us posted and send lots of hugs to your sweet mom from my hubby and me. I will be thinking of her and sending lots of love.
That would be so hard to see Marla like that!!! She is so strong & way too sassy :) But I was sooo glad to read the update that she is doing well now & we can't wait for you to be back to yourself again!!!! Take Care Marla!
Catching up on my faves and sorry to hear this! Holding her up in a prayer for a speedy recovery!
