Subject: Fwd: JaNell Surgery Report 2012.02.11 Woke up at 3:00 am this morning, I was supposed to take medication at 2:00 am. I have a slot tournament at 12:30. I think I was in third or forth place yesterday. The way it works is you have to add your two day totals. The top prize is $7000.00. I bet I don't do near as well today. I am sorry JaNell is having such a Ruff time, I know you both have to be wore plum out, I will say a prayer for yall. I am sure I will go home sometime this afternoon broke as ever. Bobby |
Subject: JaNell Surgery Report 2012.02.13 Day 68 Hello All, • JaNell had a good day today, with some nausea, but no emesis. • She was removed from NPO status and had chicken broth for dinner. • Wound nurse, Julie, says, "The fistula looks way smaller, and the wound looks good." The fistula drain produced such a small amount of fluid, that the drain pouch will not be necessary, anymore. The JP drains are producing less fluid, also. • Dr Wasif ordered the use of the wound vac again. • White blood cell count: Friday 13.4 – Monday 13.9 • JaNell has been given morphine for muscle spasms and cramps. She does not like it, because it makes her nauseous. A Fentanyl patch has been prescribed to replace morphine. • No soda pop. Thank you for your prayers, they are very important. terry

Subject: JaNell Surgery Report 2012.02.14 Day 69 Hello All, • JaNell was unable to work with the occupational therapist today, because of drowsiness, which was probably caused by her pain medication, Fentanyl. • She didn’t eat her breakfast jello but enjoyed chicken broth for lunch. • Only one incidence of throwing up occurred today. • Julie, the wound nurse, says the wound looks good and the fistula appears to be closing. • JaNell did four breathing exercises using an incentive spirometer, today. • The JP drain only produced 20 cc of fluid. • In an attempt, to determine the cause of high temperature (99.4 – 99.3) she was given a sonogram test. Thank you for your prayers, terry

From: Nancy Worley <nancygsb@msn.com> Vic and I are on the way to Roswell to meet Mike & Lisa. I offered to babysit for the long weekend in hopes they could celebrate their anniversary. Long story short...we were talking about the possibility of driving out to see JaNell and you. Vic and understand if visitors are only to be family. We would only be in town for a day. Let me know if and when a good time will be. Are y'all closer to a going home date? |
