Hi Dad,

What is her frame of mind? I'm sure the experience was tramatic for all involved. Glad her pain level is down & she is cooperating on the lights. Recovery is such a challenge...... Will continue to pray, pray, pray.

Love you,

Kelly

Terry, Our prayers continue for you and JaNell. You two are so special to
all of us. Thanks for keeping us informed so our prayers can be specific.
Love to all, Linda & Fred

I can relate to her pain. I have had some kind of operation every year since 1995 and had the clicker thing during my Ostomy, back surgeries and knee replacement surgery. It seems like forever that it will allow you to get another fix. Hopefully she will be off that stuff soon and get back to feeling normal. I am on pain patches now and have been for several years. I have osteoarthritis in my back from L4 down to S1 and do a lot of pain. I really feel for her..

You have our prayers every day..
Larry

Great news... Hopefully your guys will be home by the first of the year.
Take care and remember whatever happens.. God is watching over you.
Larry

Hey Guys: Sorry to hear that JaNell was experiencing so much pain. We are hoping and praying she will get relief soon. It does seem too soon for her to be leaving the hospital, especially with so much pain. Geeez, we sure hope there is an answer some where. Please keep us informed about JaNell's condition. Talk to you soon.................... jorie

sounds good, thanks Jo Linda

One time when I had knee surgery - I had a "pump" for pain. I kept telling them it wasn't working. Barry checked it and there was a pinch in the line. the pain RX had pooled on the carpet on the floor. I screamed if they didn't wanna see my fat a-- turned across the bed and me licking the carpet- they had better give me back alllllllllllll that RX they wasted! they weren't happy but they saw to it.

watch them folks every minute. 222222 bad Barry's not your nurse- he's grand. Barry= my baby son - a Director at Dallas' Children)\

hugs nad kisses.

Terry/JaNell******
It has been so good to hear from you along the way and the update on our
friend. She has had a tough time and it will take time to heal and regain
strength. We will continue to keep you both in our prayers and respond when
I can. Give each other a BIG HUG from us to you both!!!
My sister who lived with Mom for 8 years moved here in town Aug. 5 as she
had health issue and felt she need to go. My other sister Jan and I have
been taking turns staying with Mom every night since Aug. She didn't want
to move in with us or go to a assisted living so she chose to stay at home.
We went through the interviews with different ones and Mom was so upset
could not handle someone sitting with her during the day. So for now she
has a Philips Lifeline she wears during the day if we are not there. l told
her if her situation changed we would have to make other arrangements. We
stay at night and take care of some of her needs the the AM then leave, go
back and feed her lunch, then whewwww she is alone most of the afternoon
until one of us returns. We are looking into having meals brought to her
for a couple times a week. So we will see later.
Sorry I got off on that as you really don't need to hear my woes.
Love you,
Phyllis & Weldon

Hello All,

JaNell experienced a relapse late last night, she had a major vomiting bout. Her nose tube had been removed a day earlier, but had to be reinserted today. Two nurses came to her room and inserted the tube into her stomach. Initially, they planned to move her to a radiology lab to perform the procedure, but later decided to make the insertion in her room, because the wound in her stomach had had more time to heal. Before throwing up she was experiencing pain which she described as 12. The doctor says that her bowels are still "asleep," but with more time he is 100% sure they will become active.

The port in her neck was removed and replaced with PICC Line. Two technicians, using an ultrasound device, came to her room and inserted the tube.

Today has been a rough day for her. As her day nurse checked out this evening, she wished her well saying that we, "ran you through the mill today." But now, after a bath and some light exercise walking around the room, she is tucked into bed, and resting comfortably.

We are praying that her tummy will activate so that normal digestive processes can take place,

Our Casita

Oh, Terry -- I'm so sorry. I pray that this will be her last bout. Perhaps they let her do too much too soon. Please let her know that we are thinking of her, and praying for her -- 24 hours a day.
