Donna had been doing fine, walking around, eating well, learning how to administer her own antibiotics, all the usual things someone does when they are recuperating.................................. and then yesterday afternoon she started feeling bad again. We thought maybe she had over exerted herself. She went to bed last night complaining of pain in her stomach/abdomen area and no appetite since a light lunch. Before six this morning my folks were calling me to come quick. She was in a great deal of pain and throwing up, I didn't hesitate to call 911. (This was looking way too familiar and I wasn't going to take a chance of another crash!!!). We have spent the day in the Emergency Room (back at Baptist Hospital) and all her familiar doctors came running. The doctors decided it was best to admit her, much to her disappointment and right now I am sitting in her room, waiting for her to return from the latest test. The thought (at the moment) is that she had a gall bladder attack. This theory is being confirmed by this latest test. So, once again she's had an x-ray, blood & urine tests, ultra sound, cat scan and now another test described as a squeeze test. Good grief ! !
I will tell you that as the day passed she began to feel better and better and was in good spirits when she left for the test. Earlier today, she was mad as hell - about being back in the hospital again. I told her she could hit me, if it would make her feel better - thankfully she decided it wouldn't help !
I'll let you know more when we can.

Donna,
ReplyDeleteI hope you get home soon. Hang in there, you will be home before you know it. :) Here's some scripture that a good friend recently shared with me. I hope it inspires you...
"Then your light shall break forth like the morning. Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry; and He will say, "Here I am." Isaiah 58: 8-9
Blessings,
Margo (coworker and friend of Deana's)

Dear Donna:
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you! So apparently the gall bladder wasn't getting enough attention! You are a real "trooper"! Hang in there! We are lifting you up in prayer! Love, Tim, Linda and Cory
Donna, Sorry you're feeling green on St. Patrick's Day. Sending along an Irish prayer
ReplyDeleteMay God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
