Update on Jeff

Hopefully everyone saw Ulisha's post on her disappointing day.   We were surprised and wondered what happen to you, Ulisha, but know that everything will be alright and we'll see you next week.  Keep us informed as soon as you find out what day your surgery will be. Jeff was awake when we arrived, but in some pain.  The nurse came in and gave him a double dose of pain medication so by the time we left, he was getting some relief already.  We visited with his wife and his other visitor as he dozed off.  Glad everything went well for him and I'm sure he'll feel so much better tomorrow.  Look forward to him getting home and updating us himself.  We passed on everyone's thoughts and support. Then we went up to the third floor and visited with Butch, Jackie's husband.  Thanks Misty for letting us know about them.  Butch said Jackie is doing so much better.  She was actually awake some today and the doctors are starting to wean her off the drugs, so she should be awake more.  She's still got a rough road ahead so we need to keep her in our thoughts and prayers.  Glad to see they figured out what was causing Vicki's problems and hope she will be feeling better soon. Hope Ellen starts to feel better, too, now that they have discovered the cause too. Floyd

Oh Floyd thanks sooo very much on the update on Jackie.

Butch has been sooo down and it's understandable. I'm sooo happy that you and Brenda visited with him!!! He really needs someone to talk to, most times he just sits in that lounge when hes not back there with his wife!!

He wasn't in the lounge when we first got there, so I'm glad we waited afew minutes so we had a chance to visit. Floyd

One thing Butch said was that the doctors are amazed at Jackie's progress.  They aren't sure why she's showing so much improvement so quickly.  I told Butch it was devine intervention.  Misty put the word out on the board that Jackie needed a lot of prayers and evidently they were sent.  She still has at least one more surgery when she is a little more stable so let's all keep sending those prayers so she can have that next surgery soon and will continue to get better fast so she can be home with her family.  Butch asked Floyd for the OH website so he could give it to Jackie when she gets home.  He said she spends a lot of the day on the computer so I'm sure we will see her as soon as she is able.  If anyone gets to St. V. please take a few minutes to visit with Butch in the 3rd floor surgical waiting room. Thanks, Brenda
