I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't found too much more. I have not been able to reach any family that was at the hospital today. One of my other sisters(MaryAnn) who lives down there, said she found out that Florence had a very bad night last night breathing, even with the Oxygen. She also can't seem to stop coughing. Maryann told me they moved her to Intensive Care. I'm assuming the Cardiac unit.
Jeanette, you are right. It is real hard being so far away and relying on others for information. I feel so helpless. The hospital will only give me general information, since I'm not there.
I will post again when I know what is going on. Thanks again everyone for the prayers.

Update on my sister Florence and now also my sister Gladys!
Update on my sister Florence and now also my sister Gladys!
Hi Everyone,
I can't believe this is happening. I received a call from my sister Gerri today. My sister Florence had an emergency operation last night because they found out she had a perferated colon. She still has been coughing up a lot of phelgm at this time. If she is stable Monday, they will operate on at least one of her, Carotid Arteries. So the stomach pain was from the colon. Now I have to look that up and find out what would cause that.
Then in another breathe, my sister Gerri, tells me that my sister Gladys, who lives in Chicago was rushed to the hospital last night due to breathing problems and pain in her stomach. They did x-rays and said she has a mass near her kidneys, they think is a fluid build up and she also has a fluid build up around her lungs. They are going to do a biospy on Monday on the kidney to hopefully rulle out cancer, and I am assuming will be draining the fluid build up, however they do that.
I appreciate everyone's continued thought, prayers and kind supporting words. I will post an update probably later in the day tomorrow. This seems like a nightmare! All I can do is leave it in God's hands for both my sisters to pull through all this. They are in their early 70's. Thanks everyone.

My sister Florence is in ICU and not doing very good. The doctors said she would be in there at least another week. They are going to wait until next week to do her corotid artery to see if she stabalizes from the colon operation. She is still having a lot of breathing problems and can't talk.
Correction about my sister Gladys. The doctors found a mass around her liver not her kidneys. They are going to do an MRI on Tuesday and also a biopsy of the liver to hopefully rule out cancer. I am praying the outcome will be good. I will post again in a few days or sooner if the doctors have any news they can tell us. At least I was able to talk to my sister Gladys today, which gave me some comfort. Again thanks for all your prayers.

Hi Everyone,
I want to update what is happening to my sisters. Florence has finall been weaned off all drugs and she finally opened her eyes. She does not remember what happended for the last two weeks. She didn't even know she had surgery on her colon. She is alert now, and finally walking the halls in the hospital. She will have surgery on her her carotid arteries in a month or so. They want her to heal from the colon surgery. They kept her sedated because she kept trying to pull the tubes out. That is also the reason they kept her sedated. They will keep her in ICU until she is more stable. Eventually she may go home. I will continue to update youn on her progress.
My sister Gladys, is hoping to go home tomorrow. She has not heard a result from the biospy on her liver. So far her doctors have said she doesn't need surgery, so that's good. She should hear in the next couple of days the results from the biospy. I will keep you posted about her also.
I want to thank you all for your continued prayers. I will report back when I know something more.
