Hello everyone, I found this on jeremy's support page, and I know there are alot of people wondering how he is doing. I look for information on his condition everytime I get here. After reading this.. I thought it should be posted here for everyone to see. So here is what his wife wrote on his surgery page today... 12/02 11:14 AM HELLO EVERYONE... THIS IS ROBERTA IN THE WAITING ROOM AT OSU! I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT JEREMY IS GOING THROUGH, WE NEVER EXPECTED SUCH COMPLICATIONS AND I WAS SO AFRAID HE WOULDN'T MAKE IT SUNDAY. THREE OPERATIONS IN ONE WEEK HAS DEFINITELY TAKEN A TOLL ON HIS BODY. HIS KIDNEYS AND LIVER ARE STILL NOT FUNCTIONING. HE IS STILL ON DIALISIST. HE IS ON MEDS FOR BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART RATE (WITH HEART CATHEDER), PAIN, SEDATION, HIGH POTASSIUM, CALCIUM, ETC. HE HASN'T EATEN IN 2 WEEKS NOW. DR. MUSCARELLA IS OKAY WITH HOW JEREMY IS DOING, BUT SUNDAY HE DIDN'T THINK HE WAS GOING TO LIVE. HE HAD A HORRIBLE NOSE BLEED THAT TOOK A WHILE TO CLOT, BECAUSE OF THE MEDS HE IS ON HIS BLOOD IS REALLY THIN. THEY SAID WE ARE TAKING A LOT OF LITTLE BABY STEPS. IT WILL TAKE A VERY LONG TIME TO SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT. I THANK ALL OF YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRAYERS, BEST WISHES, CARDS, AND LETTERS... THEY ARE ALL HELPING MANY OF YOU HAVE ASKED IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT WE NEED... MORE PRAYERS!!! ALSO, AND I'D HATE TO ASK, BUT FINANCES HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE HIS PARENTS AND I ONLY PLANNED A 5-DAY TRIP THAT IS TURNING INTO A MONTH... OR MORE. PLEASE, IF THERE IS ANY WAY POSSIBLE, WE WOULD LIKE TO ACCEPT CONRTIBUTIONS AT THIS TIME FOR LIVING EXPENSES AT THE HOTEL, FOOD, AND GAS. THEY WANT TO SEND JEREMY TO A REHAB CENTER AFTER THE HOSPITAL STAY FOR 2-4 WEEKS ALSO, BUT AT LEAST THAT WILL BE CLOSER TO HOME. HE MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME... HE IS MY HEART, MY LIFE, MY SOULMATE. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE LOST IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD FOR PRAYERS. HE IS SUCH A SPECIAL AND WONDERFUL PERSON. I'M JUST HAPPY THAT THEY HAVE KEPT HIM ASLEEP MOST OF THE TIME SO HE WON'T REMEMBER MOST OF THIS. AFTER HE GOT OUT OF THE "INFECTION SEARCH" SURGERY SUNDAY, HE WOKE UP FOR A SECOND AND TOLD ME, "ROBERTA BELIEVE" AND "LET GOD TAKE CARE OF IT"... SO I'M DOING JUST THAT. I'M TRYING MY BEST TO BELIEVE AND KEEP THE FAITH. THAT IS MY UPDATE AND I'LL TRY TO GET ON MORE OFTEN. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING... LOVE YOU ALL! ~ROBBI As you can see... our support and prayers are much needed. Cindy
