latest update on Susan Ra...

latest update on Susan Rapp.. At 11:50am Wednesday a Radiologist at Boone Hospital discovered a miniscule leak in Susan's pouch. Thank God for the diligent work on the Radiologist. Then Rapp's IV site didn't work.. So I scrambled to get my 1pm shift covered at work. Naturally this was upsetting to both of us becasue that meant she had to go to surgery again . All afternoon various disciplines tried to get an IV started and to no avail success didn't occur. Finally Dr Lee Anesthesiologist was able to get a line in at elbow joint. At 5:30pm she went down to surgery. This meant the entired dedicated team stayed extra hours to ensure Susan's pouch would get repaired. We certainly appreciate these staff members.. They are awesome. Rapp was out of surgery at 7pm and was in recovery til 9:30pm before she got back to her room . IT was a d&mn long day. Today Rapp is doing great almost lines are out. She has 3-4 drain tubes and one goes directly into her original stomach so they can provide nutrients and medication for a day of two while to pouch has extra time to heal..Sounds like the safest route yet. We anticipate Rapp to be in hospital til Sunday.. Again thanks for all your prayers and support.. It means so much to us both. Thanks sista sue W

Sounds like Susan has a great group of professionals working on her!They should be commended! Now here is a success story that could have ended in tragedy that SHOULD be publicized, but I bet the public won't hear about it! I'll be waiting to see Susan's posts on the board again and hope she will be up and around and feeling better soon!
