Update on Beth (rjsmom)

Good Morning Everyone,

 

Just a little update on Beth’s surgery (rjsmom).  The surgery went fairly well on Monday, it lasted 6 .5 hours, which was a little long if you ask me.  She got to her room at 3:00 that afternoon and was sleeping peacefully.  Everything was fine that evening.

 

 When I arrived Tuesday a.m., I found a pint of blood hanging on the IV carousel.  This kind of frightened me, especially when I found 2 more had been ordered.  It seems they had to empty her drain plug several times and was concerned about her blood loss.  Her Mom and Dad was coming to sit with her for the day, so I left for work with explicit instructions to call me and I would be there in 5 minutes. As the day progressed, the blood flow slowed.  Now her blood pressure was the concern, they could not get her to a decent level.  I stopped in at lunch and she looked better, but there was still an air of concern.  When I stopped in after work (8:00 p.m.), she had a 100% improvement, but at this time she had not had any food I know …liquid) to eat, nor had she been out of the bed.  

 

 Wednesday went a lot better, she finally had her chicken broth, crystal light and unjury.  So things had started to take a turn for the better.  I even got  to help her take a shower on Wednesday evening.

 

 I had hoped she would be home on Thursday, but now Dr. Dyer says either Friday or Saturday.  I will be happy and grateful that when she does home she will be healthy!

 

 I know this has been a little long, but I want to send a  BIG THANK YOU, to all who have prayed, thought about us, or called Beth!  It has made a world of difference knowing there are actually people who care!

 

 Have a great day!

Thanks for the update Scott. I will continue to pray for Beth and I hope she is able to go home soon!

Hi Scott, I have been praying for Beth and have had her on my mind since surgery.  Thanks for updating.  I'll continue to pray that she has a speedy recovery. Rhonda

Glad she is improving!!!!  Give her our love.  Tell her there is a little cushion on the losers bench with her name on it!

Glad to hear your wife is doing better.  Both hubby and I had the WLS together.  It has been the best thing we've ever done!  Good luck to the both of you and if we can help with any questions as a couple who has gone through it, please let me know.

Thanks for the update Scott. I'm sure that was scary for both of you. It sounds like she is on the right road to recovery now. She just took the scenic route to get there. I will continue to pray that the rest of her journey is uneventful.

Bless your hearts...you guys have really been through the ringer!!  It sounds like everything is back on track and that Beth will be well on the road to wonderful health very soon.  Please give her my well wishes...for both of you and your entire family!

Thank you Scott for the UPDATE please tell her Annrenee is thinking of her and praying for her.
