There was an Emergancy/must read
 
Hi everyone. This is Jessica, Redwitch's daughter.

About two days ago, my mom got really sick. She was in so much pain.

This morning I drove her to the hospital. I knew it was serious, because my mom never goes to the hospital.

The doctors told her she needs surgery to remove her Gull bladder. She will be going through an operation tonight, and will need some time to recover.

My mom told me not to worry, but with every surgery there are risks. I will be praying for her, and anyone else can feel free to pray as well.

My mom is very fond of you guys and wants me to let you know what is going on.

Thanks.

My wife and I will keep her in our thoughts.

Wish her the best from Russ_Boston.

Hi Jessica,

I will say a prayer for you and your mother.
The gall bladder surgeries are performed through a small incision and the risks are very low.
This website might help you.

Jessica, please let me know if there is any way I can help out. If you just need someone to hold your hand, or go with you to the hospital, let me know. I will send you a PM with my telephone number.

My thoughts are with her AND you. This summer I went to the hospital with pain and nausea. Turned out I had adhesions, gall stones and an ovarian cyst. My surgeon in Ocala fixed them all all at once laproscopically. I went in the hospital at 1pm and home at 8pm. Hurt a little but not too much. Went on a cruise one week later. Those surguries aren't what they used to be. There are dangers but not too many. Hugs

Jessica, I was wondering why I didn't hear from her yesterday. We were supposed to go shopping tomorrow for the turkey, etc. Please, please let me know if I can help. My phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx. Can I go and visit her with you when you go? Can they do the surgery laposcop.. whatever. My Dad had his taken out when he was 75 and it wasn't too bad. But I will pray for her and you. Sincerely Kathie

Hi Jessica, have always enjoyed Mom's posts. Please let her know that she's in our thoughts and prayers--and remember too that surgical techniques are so improved that even though she (and you indirectly) has to go through this ordeal, it may turn out to be not as bad as anticipated. All the best!

We are all thinking of your mom and of YOU. Hang in there, sweetie, she'll be fine.

If possable, will you post your address, or send PM. I'm sure many of us
Soon-To-Be-Villagers would love to send her Get Well cards.

Give her our best. She's in good hands.

Re: There was an Emergancy/must read
 
Thank u all for your kind words. i went to visit my mom tonight. She is what they call a bleeder. LOL. She is still a little sick, but not in as much pain. They are feeding her jello and some ice water. Her two least favorite things. LOL

She should be out in the next few days. Tomorrow I will give her the laptop so she can talk to you guys about any questions or well wishes.

Thanks again

PS I think our Thanksgiving is off now. My mom will be too weak to shop or cook. Believe me, i would do it, but i dont want to burn down the house, and honestly Id rather stay with her until she gets better. Thanksgiving dinner or not.

ewstanley 11-16-2007 11:09 AM

Re: There was an Emergancy/must read
 
Hi Jessica,

We will continue to pray.
It sounds as though you still have a sense of humor and that is very important when someone is sick. We are praying for you both. I wish I could help out. I am sure that Thanksgiving dinner is the LAST thing on her mind.

Please keep us updated.
She is lucky that she has you.

Jessia,

Try no to worry. The pain from the gall baldder attack is much worse than the surgery.
I had mine removed in July at 10:00 am and was home by 4:00 pm and back to work fiour days later. I will keep you both in my prayers and thoughts.

Incredible.

Wished they'd let me out but not til bodily functions happen. And, how pray tell do they expect my body to do anything on only liquids. Doctors are soooooooooooooo unreasonable.

Since Donna is such a great organizer, I will PM her with my home address and she can handle as appropriate.

And I'm really bummed about Thanksgiving but just can't do it. :(

Hi Red, I can't tell you how happy I am to know you're doing a lot better. Just poop, make them happy, and you'll be out of there right away. Let me know if I can help with anything. Miss you, Kathie
