Prayers needed please - for my friend Kris

Hello board, My friend Kris who was doing so good after her Lap RNY on Thursday has been through a 2nd surgery to relieve a bowel obstruction of the upper intestine just below her stoma. Initially she was doing great on Thursday, but she started to get some funny nausea and vomiting. She had to have her lap converted open when they looked in and saw the obstruction - it was just too tight in there to manuver laproscopically. She came through this 2nd procedure well, but right now she's got a fever and her heart is racing a bit. So they're giving her tylenol and trying to cool her down. She's the 5th patient in the Abbott practice to ever get a bowel obstruction in their 26 years of doing this procedure - why oh why did she have to beat the odds? (She was told she should go buy a lotto ticket!) They are giving her good care, but I'm sitting here worried about my dear friend, who probably wouldn't be in this situation if she hadn't seen me go through it so comparatively easily. She's got a great attitude, even with the new pain of a second surgery in 3 days. And she's doing her best to stay positive and keep her faith held tight. She's a wonderful woman, and I pray that everything is going to work out well. If not, god and I are going to have QUITE a few words! Please take a minute to say a little prayer for my dear friend. It would mean a lot to me, and I know it will mean a lot to her. With my heart, ~Lara

sending good energy to your friend Lara and also to you!

Talked to her this morning, she's feeling better, and we're hopeful she's out of the woods. mostly now she just wants a shower. Thanks for the kind thoughts, ~Lara
