Prayers for my mother-in-law

Will you please pray for my mother in law she was taken to emergency yesterday from mental health and will be untill who knows.. She is a ill lady that has serious deppression issues and in return she does not take care of herself and it finelly caught up to here and she damn near died on us.. Last night is the second time in 4 days that she has been rushed to the ER and this time she is there till who knows when.
She is on so so very much anti depressents and is not taking them the way she is suppost to and it damn near killed her and the DR said that all these pills are clashing with one another and not doing what they are suppost to... The DR said that her Lithium (which she does not need to be on and is going to be taken off of along with all the other crap that she is taking) levels were so high that he is suprised that she is not already dead from that not to mention that she has such a bad infection that it has traveled to her kidneys.. She can not even walk that is how bad this is. And the poor woman is not even 50 yet.
Do not get me wrong but Im sooo very glad that she is in good hands and that they are going to help here and make her well. I have been telling my better half and his grandmother that they have been needing to get her to the ER and get her checked out for the past year and a half and Im glad someong (the mental DR) finally gave them no choice but to take her to the ER himself because she would have killed herself and even though that is what she wants we as a family will NOT let this happen. Not to metion she has to see her grandson grow up...

Im just wishing that Becki (my mother-in-law) could be added to your paryer lists for awhile as it will be very needed. And that the doctors let me take her a plate of homemade (with love) turkey dinner as I cannot imagine the hospitals being that good.

Fl76,
I will add your Mother-in-Law to my list. Your plate sure has been full of late; I continue to keep you and your family in prayer also.
Give the Hospital a call maybe they will let you bring some Thanksgiving goodies. But I can sure understand if they say no, diet is really important especially if the kidney is involved.
And remember this may be the best thing that has happened to her in a while -Now they can eliminate the unnecessary medications and get her back on track.
