NYE in the hospital 2 an update

myhappyplace2 · 12-28-2007

Doctor just left and Jessie will be here through Jan 2 at least. They have pulled her off all food and liquids (except for ice chips) and have added a PIC line with which to give her nutrition and meds. She had a problem with her veins collasping with the IV's as one of the nausea meds she is on burns them out. They are doing an small intestine test tomarrow and another gastric empting test on Monday or Tuesday. The doctor is hoping that by letting her stomach "rest" for 3 days she might be able to reintroduce soft foods. Keep up your prayers and good thoughts peeps. If this doesn't work, we already have an offer to fly her to any specialist in the country courtesy of Jeff's new employer. I must say that for Jeff just starting Nov 1, they have been the most supporting group of people! I'll keep you updated as things progress.

And a PIC- gosh, I always hated laying them on patients, and I would never want to have one..........poor thing.

I hope she will be better soon!!! Positive thoughts and hugs to you and her!!

Oh poo! I hate this news. Please let Jess know I'm thinking about her (and you too, mom). Hoping for a very speedy recovery!

gosh, this totally sucks... hope whatever is wrong gets figured out soon... thinking of both of you...

cpfstich · 12-28-2007

You're all in our thoughts and prayers.

BonnyW · 12-28-2007

I am so sorry to hear this. You and Jess are both in my thoughts. I hope the specialist will be able to help her feel better soon.

MicheleR · 12-28-2007

Sure hoping your daughter gets better soon. That PICC line is sure easier to deal with than infiltrated IV sites all the time or having to be poked constantly. I hope they get some solid answers for all of you and in the meantime we are sending thoughts and prayers from CT.

Seakony · 12-28-2007

I will see ya soon... you want to sample my 2 bottles of rum or does it have to be tequilla? Got some Centanario around here..hate it. yucko!
And for Jess...maybe some lotions and body sprays?

petecat · 12-28-2007

Donna and I send our best and wish a speedy recovery, you are in our prayers, hang tuff all will be good. Our home here is open to you should you end up in the Manhattan area to see a doctor or for any testing.

queencityfan · 12-28-2007

I was so sorry to read that you still have no answers.

I'm adding you and yours to my list of prayers.

God Bless you all.

Was so hoping to hear better news.....hang in there! Hope poor Jess isn't too miserable throughout all this...big hugs..jeanean and abra

bgfangs · 12-28-2007

Damn Vik, I was hoping she'd be getting out soon

Give Jess a big hug from Cali and let her know you guys are in my thoughts and prayers (I guess I need to pray harder).

KelliG · 12-28-2007

That is just terrible!
Sounds like she was getting an awful lot of phenergan for nausea....why not zofran!?!?!? MUCH better drug IMHO....and now that it's off patent, MUCH more affordable!
Healthy thoughts headed your way!
