UPDATE: Thank you for all your comments and all of your prayers. As of this morning (Thurs) my Mom seems to have turned a corner! I was able to speak with her in video chat. Her throat is well, and the congestion in her head is clearing. She was complaining about nausea, but we agreed it’s probably the result of nothing in her stomach for over 72 hours. I reminded her how she used to give us tea and dry toast when we were little and had an upset stomach and her face lit up. She asked my sister to make her some then and there! I told her we are all coming for Christmas and she has to get better because she’s required to be there. She told me she can’t wait to meet her latest great-grandbaby (my 2 yr old granddaughter) who was born right after “covid” became a thing and we’ve been unable to travel. That convinced me she will be well. God is ABSOLUTELY good!!

[Writing to request prayer from my brothers and sisters here for my Mom. She is 97 and very sick. I don’t know about COVID and whether or not it’s a thing. All I know is my sister “tested positive” after being sick around my Mom for 5 days and today my mom is really ill. Sore throat, congestion and can’t keep anything down. I’m scared to death they’ll hospitalize her, but I’m also scared for her to just be left alone to fight it. I am on the other side of a border and 20 hours away and can’t do much but ask for prayers. Thank you all in advance and God bless.]
