Prayer/Healing Thought Request *UPDATED*

This evening my friend Alyssa suffered a kidney aneurysm as a complication of childbirth {the baby is fine}. To prevent her from bleeding out, the kidney was removed. The doctors are now attempting a procedure to restore blood flow to her leg which may need to be amputated due to complications from blood loss.

If you are a praying person, I would be so deeply appreciative if you would say one for my friend Alyssa and her family and the doctors who are treating her. If you're not a praying person, I would deeply appreciate positive, warm and healing thoughts sent her way as well.

This is Alyssa's fourth child and she is such an active, vibrant person. This is just so scary and unreal. I will let you know updates as I find them out.

Thank you so very much,

Kathryn

UPDATE: Alyssa is out of surgery. The bleeding has completely stopped and her pulse and blood pressure are improving. They are now the highest they have been since she was admitted. She is not entirely out of the woods yet, and will remain closely monitored. The family sounds very hopeful and they ask for continued prayers and warm wishes for a safe and full recovery. I will update again with any further news. Thank you all so much for your lose, prayers and support ~ it means so much to me!

  2. Kathryn -

    How sad that such a blessed event turned out so tragic. I will keep Alyssa in my prayers and hope that she is spared amputation and that she recovers.
