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.

 

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

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
Helen

...hope that's all that it is - just a setback and she is very soon is back on the road to recovery.

Very glad to hear that Ann is coming in to provide some support and help you share the load of being there for Mary Ann.

Give Mary Ann a gentle hug from all of us.

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

Sorry for the setback

Dear Rudy & Mary Ann,

Rudy, thank yoiu for keeping us in the loop.  I was so sorry to hear about the setback.  I'm hoping they can get the infection under control shortly & she can come home.   Please tell Mary Ann I'm thinking & praying for her.  She helped me so much in my journey and she is very important to us.
