It is with heavy heart that I post this update on Diane. After the 2nd surgery to repair the perforation to her intestine during her bypass in March, the leak repair didn't correctly heal. She ended up back in the hospital 4 weeks ago. Diane has had 4 additional procedures to try and correct what happened in March.. At this writing, she has e-coli, candida & MRSA in her bloodstream... overwhelming infections for a body to overcome. They have heavy-duty antibiotics going. The indication now is that ONLY a miracle will pull her through. I realize this type news is something NONE of us want to hear but we all face the odds when we go into this type surgery. Please hold Diane in prayer for healing and for a miracle to make her whole again. Hugz n Blessings, Cath

Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! You’ve been out of surgery now for a little over a month – YIPPIE!!! Your journey will have moments to “pause” – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)…Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly and take lots of pictures…the transformations will make your jaw drop!!! RNY 10/31/03 – down 90 pounds!!! Good luck!

Praise God & thank you each & every one who has prayed for Diane.... She said (from her own lips this time!!) to tell you that prayer works!!! They removed the ventilator yesterday (after 17 days) & she is doing very well today. I spent 3 hours listening to her whisper all her thoughts & ask all the questions that I could possible answer... It must be mind-boggling to miss out on 2 weeks of your life & wake up in ICU!! They tried to let her get up today, but she isn't strong enough.. (the Italian in her DEMANDED that they let her up & get her moving LOL). This will take time & I carefully explain that to her as often as possible. Hopefully she will get to go to the floor in the next couple of days - then they are talking about 2-3 weeks there to recover. I look @ her & realize how close we came to losing her & thank God daily. Once again, thank you for the prayers. Hugz n Texas Blessings, Cath
