I need to ask for some prayers/positive vibes.

Thank you everyone all I can really say is keep Praying b/c things are not looking good.
I got a call from my mom yesterday afternoon that they were calling the ambulance to come and get her b/c my Mom couldn't lift her any longer. So I jumped in the shower grabbed Keegan and took off, dropped her at my parent's house and went to the ER. They decided to admit her b/c her xrays showed that she hasn't had a bowel movement for several days (since Wed we think) and she was in Kidney failure. So they admitted her. I stayed there for awhile and fed her her liquid supper. I stayed after my parents left b/c my dad was starting to have some pain. My grandma's sister got there and I left she was still there. She was able to talk to me and carry on a conversation tho she was weak, short of breath, and had a slightly hoarse voice. My parent's told me that I didn't need to come over today b/c 'she would be fine' and I had to work 3rd shift Sunday nite. Well, around noon, I was going to get in the shower, my dad called and told me that they were moving her to the Intensive Care Unit, b/c she was jaundiced, and bloated. So I showered and Left - I got to the waiting room and My great Aunt was there again, My grandpa, and my dad. I asked if my mom was in with Grandma and my dad said no she was at her school getting stuff ready (she is a teacher) and his exact words I think were "Stace, she isn't good at all they are transferring her." I think that they didn't tell me that they were transferring her until I got there so that I wouldn't get upset and get into an accident. So my sister got there and then my grandma's siblings came in (my dad is an only child - not sure if I mentioned that previously) She was gasping for air, not making any sense. So eventually they got the Mobile ICU there to take her, and the Nurses came out to talk to us as we were standing there all upset and crying and one of the nurses gave me a huge hug, and told me they were doing all they could. Well, I found out the Dr. that was taking over her care and felt instant relief, he is the best surgeon at that Hospital. I called into work and told them, I wouldn't make it in. They were very understanding. Then one of the members of the mobile ICU came out and told us that they had put an NG tube in and were getting a lot of vomit from her stomach, and they were going to put her on a ventilator to help her breath on the trip over. So when we got to the new hospital, we waited for about an hour or so until we could see her and honestly she looked a lot better b/c she wasn't struggling.
To make a longer story shorter, the Dr. thinks it is fecal compaction, causing renal failure with a possible viral infection and we will know more in the morning if she makes it thru the nite.
Thank you for the continued thoughts and prayers. They mean so much to me.

As much as it breaks my heart, I have to remember that she is 88 years old and this is an awful struggle on her poor body. I see things similiar to this a lot but it is never the same when it is your own family.
