September 2012 Weddings

T & P needed for my sis.

FI and I have been on vacation for the past few days, so I haven't been on here.  A few days ago my sis ended up in the hospital with pancreatits.  She has tons of gall stones blocking her pancreas and basically killing it.  Docs thought they were gonna have to remove the gallbladder and pancreas, but they wanted to wait as long as possible, hoping the pancreas would start to heal.  Today the docs said she's starting to heal, and as long as she continues to heal they'll only have to take the gallbladder, but if she takes a turn for the worse again they're gonna take everything.

She's already been in the hospital for 4 days, and she's in extreme pain.  She's had 3 natural child births and said she'd go through that 10x worse instead of this.  She's in so much pain she can barely sleep.  I'm currently 1300 miles away and can't make it back to visit, so I kind of feel helpless.  I really apprecaite any t&p you ladies can send her way!

Re: T & P needed for my sis.

  • Warm thoughts your way!

    I've had a few gallbladder attacks and let me tell you, they are NOT fun. They are awful so I really feel for her. I hope they can just take the gallbladder- from what I have heard the surgery is NBD if they can do it by lapriscopy. Unfortunately for me, I don't have stones in mine. I have a "lazy" gallbladder. It will randomly just decide, for whatever reason, that it doesn't want to digest my meals and I'll have an attack. I try to avoid extremely large meals and a  lot of very fatty meals in a row.

  • T&P headed her way! My friend went through kidney stones for an entire year awhile back and she was in so much pain all the time. =(
  • T&Ps your way! My dad had pancreatitis a few years ago, but it wasn't nearly as bad as what it sounds like your sister is going through. I hope she makes a speedy recovery.

  • Thoughts and Prayers from here to your sister!  It's a tough road , I work with patients everyday that are dealing with this type of situation, it's never fun to watch people go through that sort of thing!  Hang there and keep the positive notions going!!!
  • Sending T&P to your sister. I hope she feels better very quickly!

  • Thank you ladies.  The pancreas is healing, and they want her to try breathing on her own as long as possible.  She's in lots of pain trying to breathe, but they say it's better for her.  They have no idea how long she'll be in the hospital.

    So In Love
