Please pray

I wanted to give everybody an update on my mother-in-law. She has been sick for over a month now. It all started with her not being able to swollow and she stayed in the hospital for almost a week. Her blood cell count was high and so was her blood pressure. She came home and never really felt much better although she did make this Polar Express trip b/c she planned this for so long and wasn't going to miss it! She was on 8 prescriptions for an infection in her esophagus. She went to the ER Sunday night and they sent her home although her blood cell count was high again. She went back in the hospital yesterday and isn't doing good. They told her she has a secondary infection and her throat is so swollen that they can't do the upper GI. The next step is to try a feeding tube and if they can't get it in then they will have to put in a trachea. She has been moved to CICU. Please put Sheila Scoggins on your prayer list, she really needs it. We are so used to her being the strong one and always on the go. It is really hard to see her struggling like she is. We will all have some comfort in knowing that people are praying for her. I will keep everyone posted.
