Teresa V - Still in hospital 3rd night

Hi everyone, I wanted to give you another update on Teresa. I called her on Saturday about 5PM, thinking that she would be home or at least getting ready to go home. However, she had a rough night and was still not passing the swallow testing. So the doctor wanted to keep her another night. She was having a lot of swelling. Teresa called me today about 5PM and said that she was having to stay another night because she still wasn't passing the swallow test. Dr Barker said that she had alot of swelling in her esophagus and they couldn't take her off of IV's until she could swallow well. She said that they are having her try to drink an ounce of water ever hour. She did say she felt a whole lot better since yesterday. They were trying different pain and nausea medicine to get her comfortable. Please continue to pray for her as she recovers. She needs all of the prayers she can get to pray her out of that hospital.

Lindy, Here is wishing Teresa a good nights rest and the abiility to pass the swallow test in the morning. It must be frustrating for her...but it's good that she is where the doctors and nurses have immediate abilty to respond to her. Gesch

Thanks for the update. My prayers are with her always! And I am so happy she has the great medical team to see to her successful recovery.. Many prayers tina
