Jeremy, As Christmas approaches and many of us are hustling and hurrying around to get things done, I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and continuing to pray that you will heal and be home soon. May the angels watch over you and give you the strength you need to heal! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Traci

Hi everyone - I just spoke to Roberta! I've been trying to reach them for a few days now! Jeremy is currently on the '3 hours a day' dialysis, instead of the 24 hour one, which is good news! His white blood count is elevated again, they think he has some infection on one of the bed sores on his back, which they will try to control with a new antibiotic that they are starting him on today. Robbie says that he is a little more alert, still unable to really communicate properly because of all the tubes and machines, but he is able to nod and wave, and he was very excited about all the cards he has received, which they allowed into the SICU and Robbie has put them up on the walls. They just managed to get into the facility near the hospital which is free for them, its free housing for family of long term patients. Robbie says its much bigger than the hotel, and they have a kitchen and will be able to cook for themselves now instead of just relying on fast food. Any mail you send to Jeremy should now go to his home address, and Jer's brother will play postman and deliver the mail to the family when he goes to visit. Please continue to pray for Jeremy as he is not out of the woods yet! I will post more as I have information! Kirsten A.

Jeremy, WOW, it is great to read that you had a good day. I believe that this is the beginning of recovery for you. Remember, never doubt the power of prayer, or the power of Gods Grace. You remain on my daily prayer list, and Robbie, you are there too. Hang in there, and soon you will be home. Rebecca Wilson, Janesville CA

Jeremy & Robbi, You both remain in my prayers daily. I know this has been a very hard battle. Please call me if you need anything Roberta, you have my number. I'm just so glad to read some good news and to hear he was talking and now has seen all the wonderful cards and the people that are praying for him. I continue to pray for God to rest his hands on Jeremy and keep him strong. He's a fighter and I know great things are in store for him. God be with you both during this time and always. Your friend.

I am sooooo glad to see this post. Jeremy has been in my prayers ever since I first heard about his desire to have WLS. I'm praying that Jeremy and Roberta get the chance to have what every young couple should be entitled to: the chance to face the future healthy and hand in hand.

hello! it's me! yesterday wasn't a very good day... his blood pressure dropped reallylow and his heart rate jumped back up to the 140's... his leg was really red (infection maybe), his white blood count went up to 20,000 and he now has "bed sores" on his back and bottom... but today however, is a great day! he looks wonderful today. his blood pressure is where they want it, his heart rate is in the one-teens, his white blood count went down to 13,000, and his leg wasn't as red today. and for the first time in 3 weeks, he was sitting up, "talking", wide-eyed, knew who we were, wanted hugs, and sat up in bed... out of nowhere! :-) dr. muscarella was really pleased with all of this and said he will be in sicu for about another month yet... we are still taking baby steps. but today seems like a great day. i even asked the nurse about the cards and she said it was safe to bring them in. so we read some to him and he fell asleep... i hung them up and his walls and windows are covered! he was so excited about that! i'll read more to him later, but it will take time to go through them all with him. :-) all in all, today is a good day... the physical therapist came in today and for the first time jeremy was able to comprehend and participate a little. thank you all so much for everything... it made him feel great to know so many people care about him. keep praying, because it is Working! love, robbi
