Urgent Ricie Prayer Alert… Back to the ICU.

Mom is going back to the ICU and back on the ventilator.

Mom is still in the hospital at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. She was able to have her shunt surgery. It went well, and I got to talk with her on the telephone. But over the past several days, she clammed up and wouldn’t talk to anyone. This weekend, she really hasn’t been waking up or responding. So, tonight (Sunday 03/13/2022) she is going back to ICU. Since she is so unresponsive, she will be put back on the ventilator to protect her airways. She may have another central nervous system infection going on. (I hate infections!) Also, she will have a new feeding tube placed at her stomach since her appetite did not return.

Thank y’all for praying hard for my mom. Please keep on. My heart hurts for her because she is my mom, she is my best friend, she is my band mate, she’s my music ministry career partner, she’s my sidekick, she’s my nurse, she has always been a part of my everyday life all throughout the day… She’s so smart, strong, talented, beautiful, good hearted, loyal, loving… I want her back, full force… Thanks again for all of your prayers!

“Had it not been for a place called, ‘Mount Calvary,’
Had it not been for the old rugged cross,
Had it not been for a man called, ‘Jesus,’
Then forever my soul would be lost.”
