Quick update on Martina
First off thank you for all the prayers and nice words and I am sorry I have been so distant from OH. I am home and have not had to stay overnight in hospital since June. I continue to have EDG dilatations done every two weeks by doctor in Georgia the trip to TN was rough. I pray I will not need more dilation. I have lost a total of 84 lbs since surgery and 90 lbs total I am very pleased. I have had to make several trips to emergency room due to dehydration, magnesium, and potassium. On a positive note I have not had problems with dehydration since they put me back on TPN I have a nurse that come out and draw my labs weekly. I am having a lot of problems eating since I do not have a stomach anymore and continue to get sick when I eat. Some days things appear to be better and on other days it seems worst. I am a baby having to start over but at least I am alive. I believe that I am growing stronger as time goes by and is going to just have to be patient. I hope that I the doctors allow me to return to work soon. Well I think I said everything. If anyone has questions to ask or wisdom to share feel free to respond. Again thank you all.
