    Mary Ann update

    Mary Ann is having the other drain tube removed this morning and may be discharged home tomorrow. She will see thoracic surgeon Monday and get an X-ray to determine whether fluid retention around lungs has stopped. Mary Ann is in good spirits, looking forward to getting home.

     

    Thank you!

    So glad to hear Mary Ann is in good spirits, thank you for the continued updates and hope she will be home soon!

    Discharge Delay

    Mary Ann has a UTI and fever, so she remains at Health Park. She had second drain tube removed Tuesday and was doing well until about 5 p.m. that day when she suddenly began shivering and said the room was cold. She then started shaking like someone using a jack hammer; her heart rate jumped to 140 and her oxygen saturation dropped to 88. The nurses got her vitals stable, drew blood and checked her urine, which indicated an infection. She is on antibiotic, but continues to run a fever of 101.2. Today marks three weeks in the hosital ... My brother's sister Ann is flying in from Colorado Saturday to lend a hand and provide support.

    Oh Rudy, I am so sorry

    Oh Rudy, I am so sorry to hear about Mary Ann's latest setback.  Please send her my love and best wishes and let her know that I am continuing to pray for her.  I hope that the infection subsides soon and she can come home.  Three weeks in hospital is too long.

    Kindest wishes

    Rudy, I was so hoping that Mary Ann was at home

    I am so sorry to hear about the UTI.  I am glad she got the second chest tube out though.  I hope she is feeling better soon.  Three weeks is a long time in the hospital.  You both remain in my prayers.  In peace and caring.

    This has to be so frustrating.  Hope the antibiotic is taking hold by now.  I've doubled the positive vibes I am sending you, Mary ann

    Darn it~

    Seems like the closer one gets to seeing the "positive light", the further away it becomes.  Keep on keeping on Mary Ann and Rudy, home is just around the corner, despite the snag in the plans.

    Blessings to you both~Wink

    What wonderful support you are to each other and of course to Us, ;) I haven't been on much but do List Lurk and pray For all.

    was at the western Wall last night, feature in picture. So close to the center of three religions and said a special prayer for good health and safety for all.
