Please Pray!

We had something that recently happened with Susette that requires prayer. She was at our daughter-in-law Cindy's baby shower on Saturday when something got lodged in her throat. She had increasing difficulty swallowing after the 6th radiation treatment so she has been very cautious. When she took a bite of the quiche, it was a very small bite. The food was not blocking air but felt like it is was just stuck. She said it felt like it was cutting the inside of her throat. After a short time she said she was o.k. and that she could drink and the food was working its way down her throat. It worked its way down in about 2-3 hours but there was a good degree of damage in her throat and in her chest. She said she was o.k. but later developed a fever and we immediately rushed her to Hoag Memorial emergency. Hoag could not figure out what was going on and just gave her pain killers. They said to go see our Radiologist on Monday. We did and he couldn't figure out what was happening. As it stands right now, we are trying to get in to see another doctor who is a specialist. She has not eaten since Saturday and can barely drink. We are giving her Ensure and Pedialyte which she can barely get down. Please pray for Susette and that we might get to a doctor who can better direct us. Thanks.
