Mom; Providence, another visit... guess she likes it there ;o)

Hello all.
Yesterday, Dad took Mom up to the Hospital. Mom had not been able to hold down dinner Saturday night (Footlong Subway split with Dad - Toni's Christmas Giftcard to G'Pa). Sunday morning; around 8:30am I woke to Mom paging me with the intercom. She had a restless night and could not get here stomach to settle down. I helped her get some things taken care of and she said not to worry about the moaning from her, that she was just going to try to get a little more sleep. After getting Mom situated back in bed and letting her have a little more then an hour to fall asleep, I asked her if she felt any better. She said she felt worse. I suggested that we go to the Hospital to see what was up; I called Dad and and left a message on his phone. And Mom called Doctor and went thru the prompts until she could leave a message and did the same with Doc's home phone. It was about 10:30am when we decided to get ready and to go to the hospital. We were getting Mom's last sock and shoe on when Dad drove in the driveway. Shortly after that, and Dad tood Mom up to the ER.
Dad called a couple of times, the first call, around noon '???', there was nothing to report, but that they were doing tests and had not ruled out anything but were working on confirming their suspisions. The second call Dad had more to report: Mom's upper tract was ok, but her lower tract had seemed to be 'asleep' and she had Kidney infection. Antibiotics were given for the kidney problem and they were going to keep her overnight for observation, and further tests/procedures to check for possible cancer in the lower tract Monday. Dad said Diverticulytus (sp) was mentioned and she needs more fiber.
So... here we are Monday morning, 8:35am. Dad says they will wait for the antibiotics to do their job before they perform a colonostopy (sp) to check the state of Mom's lower tract.
Dad will call with an update tonight after he finds out what is going on today.
I will try to get the update from Dad and add it to the Alaskan Reitter's tonight.
As always, I'm sure Mom is not wanting to cause any worries for anyone; but I know she appreciates all your prays.
