Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you all know that our beloved Kelly is back in the hospital. Her pain really hasn't improved since her recent hospital stay, and last night it go so bad that she went back to the emergency room. :(

She will more than likely be there until next Monday or Tuesday, so let's all send some healing prayers her way.
She told me that they will be running a CT Scan to see what's going on with her intestines and there is a possibility of surgery, depending on what they find.

I just hope they can find something to help her! I can't imagine having to deal with the pain of Crohn's on a daily basis. She is such a strong and positive person and really someone that I admire.
Let the power of PT prayers be healing for her!

Thank you!
**hugs**

Oh, no! Was my first thought. I will pray for her, and for the medical professionals trying to help her, so that they may be able to find a way to help!

awwww I have said my prayer for Kelly.

It makes me so sad that she has to deal with this and YES, what a sweet and positive person - one of my very favorite Pt buddies.

Thankyou, wolflady, (Karen right??) for letting us know - really appreciate it.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( Kelly doesn't deserve this. My heart is just breaking for her :(

If someone finds out an email address so we could send her messages in the hospital again, could you please let us know? I have her cell phone number, but I don't know if she'll answer it and I really don't want to bother her. I do want to let her know I'm thinking of her so hopefully we can track down an address again.

Oh man:( Thanks Karen so much for letting us all know about this. She is a wonderful person and definately doesn't deserve this.
I too hope they can find something out and help her pain.
If anyone finds out if we can email her please let me know.

04-08-2005, 12:46 PM
Oh no. I hate to hear that. She seems like a wonderful person, and like others said she doesn't deserve this. I would like to know the e-mail address as well so I could send her a letter. I hope she gets feeling better.

Prayers are on their way! That is a horriable disease and extreemly painful.. I have had colon problems most of my life and I know how crippeling the pain from my problems can be and Crohns is FAR worse and far more serious. My heart goes out to her!

You can email Kelly at:

or just click here (http://www.losrobleshospital.com/EmailForm.asp?strGUID={8EBAA087-507C-4F4E-82F9-57261153616D}&strThankYou=PATIENT_EMAIL) to send a message! :)

Poor thing has a tube in her nose and down her throat, so she's feeling uncomfortable. She didn't get much sleep last night, but she started feeling a little sleepy this morning when I spoke with her, which is good. She definitely needs to get some rest. I believe her mom will be going to see her again today. :)

Thanks for the prayers everyone!

Karen I am so glad you posted this b/c I was going to also. She called me when I was going to the hospital to see my Gpa.
And she is such an angel she was asking about HIM!

Her pain has never gotten better since she left the last time.
She has abscesses and/or adhesions in her small bowel. And An obstruction. And has an NG tube which is making her absolutely MISERABLE.
If they don't get the abscesses/adhesions cleared up then she is facing surgery.
Her pain was sooo bad and she was vomiting so much she had to have the ambulance come and get her.
Kelly you are in my thoughts and much needed prayers.

04-08-2005, 01:46 PM
Bless her heart.........in the hospital again............it is just too much for our sweet Kelly.

I just pray that this time they can really find a way to solve the problem and ease her constant pain.

This really just breaks my heart - she doesn't deserve all of this, she just doesn't.

Does everyone want to chip in and send her a nice gift basket or flowers or something to her hospital for her to see? I would be willing to get it together and get something, but the problem is I don't have any type of credit card to pay for the gift and most online stores only use credit card, but I am willing to chip in to get something sent to her. She needs something that will brighten her day.

Oh Kelly...so sorry to hear you are back in the hospital...

Heartfelt wishes for a speedy resolution!

04-08-2005, 02:42 PM
I was thinking about sending her something as well. I think she'd like something from all of us, but she also might enjoy it if we all sent her little things. That way she'd have lots of packages and cards to keep her busy.

wolflady
04-08-2005, 05:01 PM
I'm not sure of the room number, but I didn't have any trouble sending the email anyway. As long as you put her first and last name in the form, I think it will make it to her ok. The only required field they have is the "your email address" field.

I think sending her a gift is a really nice idea.

:eek: how did I missed this? thanks to one person who PMed me this thread! I'm so sorry, kelly!! you're (AND your LOVELY needy cats) in my thoughts daily until the day you can do a windmill :) I think it's good to feel pains >>earlier<< than suffering with minor pains for many another years so you can know what's wrong by now!!

I too sure hope there's someone taking care of your cats just like you. I was in hospital for two months straight in end of 2004 and NEVER had seen my pets, not on my birthday either. it was very, very awfully terrible...

HANGINTHERE!!!

Just got off the phone with Kelly. She does find it hard to talk with the tube down her throat but she also has some spray that she can use to dull the pain.

She is in good spirits and really appreciates all the prayers and emails being sent her way. BTW her room # is 254A and she is in with another girl.

She is on IV fluids and also a pain pump so she can administer pain meds when she needs it. The tube down her throat is draining fluids from her intestines. Tomorrow, they will have another look through x-ray and see what's what, then they will decide what to do next and if sir jury will be done.

As Karen first said, she will be in until beginning of next week so let's keep up those prayers and good thoughts.

I would love to send her a little something. I just need to know when since I am going shopping tomorrow. All I need is her address or the hospital's but probably hers because we don't know how long she is going to be there. I just sent an e-mail to there. My heart is breaking :( she is such a sweet lady and I hope she gets well. :( I can't think of what to type right now. Just know that we love you Kelly.

Spoke with Kelly earlier and she's keeping her chin up, and hanging in there. She's ready for surgery if that's what it takes to get her WELL. Can't say that I blame her. Having Crohn's just SUCKS and often times at some point the best remedy is surgery. :(

Hearing her little voice just broke my heart. :( Please keep praying that they can find a permanent solution for her pain. Almost anything is better than the pain of Crohn’s :(

K9karen
04-08-2005, 11:19 PM
My heart breaks for her, poor Kelly. Crohn's sucks, big time is right. I hope the pain pump is helping her a bit. Hopefully the docs can relieve her misery, even if it is with surgery :(

Count me in with a PT gift. Please email or PM me and give me the details.

I emailed Kelly some jokes and quotes. I think those types of things may help her right now if anyone knows any good ones. I was thinking that if it were me in the hospital, I'd want something to laugh about. So if anybody doesn't know what to say, just tell her a joke :)

Crohns is a terrible thing to have to live with. :( :( :( I have a friend who has had intestinal problems for years now, and it's progressed to probable Crohns disease now. Poor woman can't even enjoy herself in a restaurant without ending up being carted out in an ambulance. :( (It doesn't help that Debbie eats things she shouldn't though). :rolleyes: Feel better lady! ;) :)

I'm so glad to hear you're keeping your spirits up. I don't know if I could do the same.

Quickie Kelly Update:

She's feeling better today and her CT scan showed that she's improving (from the time she arrived at the hospital last week). She is going to get a double dose of Remecaid (sp?) via IV in an hour or so this afternoon, which should help her to feel better, so luckily that means no surgery.

The folks at the hospital are going to refer her to a specialist (a hospital that only deals with Inflammatory Bowel Disorders), because there's really not much else they can do for her there. I can't imagine what having Crohn's must be like, but Kelly is definitely a strong person to be able to go through everything she's going through right now.

She sounded better when I spoke to her on the phone this afternoon, so that's good. It could be Wednesday or even Thursday by the time she can go home.

More healing prayers are on the way, Kelly! We love you! :)
**hugs**

04-11-2005, 04:25 PM
Thank you, Karen, for the update. I just wish there were an answer for her problems that is immediate, and permanent...one can wish, I suppose! In the meantime we will pray for her.


Keep us updated, please.

Just spoke to Kelly -

She sounded VERY, VERY tired and was waiting on some anti-nausea medicine. She said she was still having pain but having a "pain button" helped out a lot. She expects to go home on Thursday but that all depends on how she's feeling, of course.

On the up side, they took out the tube in her nose and her CT scan showed she was healing (I think Karen or Staci already said that :o ).

She misses her furbabes and thanks everyone for their emails!

Yay:) I just spoke with Kelly and she sounded so much better. She said that she felt better today, although the pain was still there, and hopes to go home probably Friday. She's doing another bowel series of tests tomorrow.
She has an appointment with the IBD specialists on the 25th, so hopefully they will be able to help her.

On a fun note, she had a K-9 visitor today! How fun! She had a 12 year old golden retriever spend some time with her today and she expects a pomeranian tomorrow! How cute! If anyone is in need of some "fur time", it's Kelly! Too bad David can't bring one of her kitties in! LOL :p

She said thanks for all of the emails. She really likes getting them!

Hi!!!

I'm sitting here in my hospital bed on David's laptop while he's at his youth group thing. :)

THANK YOU so much for your prayers and emails! Each time I see a hospital volunteer walk into my room with an envelope, my heart flutters and I can't wait to hear from my friends.

I'm pretty sure I'll be going home on Friday. I have another small bowel series scheduled for tomorrow morning. It's the fifth on I've had so far, so these tests are getting to be less scary at this point.

I'm still in a lot of pain, but they've given me a button to press to medicate myself. Its Dilauted (I think that's how you spell it) and it works a lot better for me than the morphine. It doesn't leave you as loopy, is safer and helps stop the pain.

My doctor is having me go see a IBD specialist at Cedars Sinai on April 25th. Its an AMAZING hospital and the group of doctors in the IBD department are really well known and knowledgable. I'm happy about that, as my doctor has done everything he has the power to do.

My doctor has been the BEST through all this. I came to the ER on Thursday night in an amulence, as I was too painful and couldn't stop vomiting to move. :( He was on an airplane from Paris and didn't get home until 5 AM on Friday. His on-call doctor met me at the ER because he knew that I'd be fearful of the NG tube and wanted to explain its importance (drains the stomach of fluids so the obsructions in the colon/small bowel can heal). My doctor came to the hospital to see me at 10 AM that day! He's so great!! He's come to see me every day and is genuinely concerned about me. What an angel. :)

I miss my furballs like crazy!! I got a few cards from "them" and they were so cute!! I keep trying to convince David to sneak Micah in (the most easy going one outside our home)...but I don't think he feels like getting on the hospital's bad list. ;)

I'll update more when I get home, but wanted to thank you all for your love, kindness, prayers, emails, calls, and friendship. You all mean so very much to me and I cannot tell you how much you've all helped me.

Lots of love and hugs,
Kelly :)

I have THE BEST roommate!! She's 53 and has crohn's for 30 years! She's had many, many surgeries and tests and is also here for crohn's! She said we can go to some support groups together and I know we'll remain friends. :)

God sure works in mysterious ways. :)

Yeah! It's great to hear from you, Kelly!

I think it's wonderful that you've met someone who's had Crohns for 30 years - wow! I know she will be a great help to you in understanding what is ahead for you and hopefully, by learning from her experiences, you can skip over some of the worst the disease has to offer.

I know you'll feel so much better once you're home with your little fluffy nurses, but until then, I sure hope all the cyber hugs will tide you over!

Just got off the phone with Kelly and she was doing her Small Bowel. She seems to be in good spirits but is ready to come home. She is still enjoying all the emails everyone sends.

I am so sorry I have missed this until now. I've really been swamped with a lot going on in my life, and haven't been keeping up with the board much at all lately. Kelly, you're in my thoughts and prayers. I sure hope you get to come home soon, I know how much better mentally you will feel then, and feeling better mentally can go a long way to helping you feel better physically too. I'm thinking of you {{hugs}}

Yay Kelly! I'm so glad that you were able to get on the internet for a little bit and post. I agree that God works in mysterious ways...your "roommate" sounds wonderful and I think going to a support group for Crohn's is a GREAT idea! It really helps to have someone know exactly what you're dealing with on a daily basis.

I hope your small bowel series goes well and I hope you can go home tomorrow! You must miss your furbies so much!

**hugs**

Karen....thanks for all the updates. I'm going to try and call her as soon as I get into work. With any luck, she'll be packing to leave.

Edit: 10:30PST - Just spoke with Kelly and she doesn't know if she's going home because her doctor has not arrived yet. She'll keep us posted. She sounds good but says she's still in alot of pain and will be on oral meds when she gets out.

Let's keep those prayers coming.

Thank you again, for your warm wishes and prayers. :)

Today has been hard. I'm still in pain, but because of insurance issues, I have to leave tomorrow. I can't understand insurance...why is it that the people who need it have to basically have surgery to stay in the hospital to heal? :mad:

OH well, I don't want to dwell on it right now.

I'll be home tomorrow and hope I can finally get back to healing and to the positive things in my life.

I'll post when I get home.

Hugs,
Kelly

Glad you're back home Kelly! Those furry little nurses (or are they candy stripers?) will have you feeling better in no time. :) :) :) Rest up, and hope your pain subsides at home in your own space. ;)

I had a really nice day. :) My friend CiCi came by and got me from the hospital. I visited with the cats for a few hours and then Katy came by and we took a walk around Target.

We rented a bunch of chick flicks and Susie came to watch them too. I've had to be on my pain meds the whole day, but at least I'm home.

The furries are really clingy, and I love it! ;)

I'm really looking forward to my appointment with the specialists on the 25th. Please pray for something good. In the mean time, I"m going on pred and a few other additional meds. I take so many...I just hope the Remicade will work soon.

Hugs and thanks,
Kelly :)

Here's an old remedy.

Grab a cat, any cat.

Pull them close and put your nose into their hair.

Inhale deeply...

See you feel better already...

:D ;)
