There you go, Tonya - one of those "speshul" phone calls to God that will make all of the difference in the situation.
That phone call and all of our prayers will have Amy back home and just fine in no time.
I have sent you an email for Amy - but know that I add my prayers to the huge chorus of prayers going out for her.
Thanks for your well-wishes and emails! I have printed up those that I've received so far. I know she will just LOVE these.
I called the hospital right before I left for work this morning. Amy was asleep. Her mom said that she had a rough night. The Dr. didn't get there until 9pm and most of the blood results, etc. weren't back in yet. They HAVE ruled out a heart attack, though.
There is still an enlargement/swelling of and fluid on the heart.
About 3am, Amy started freezing. And not too much later she started throwing up and having diarrhea (<- she'd kill me if she knew I wrote that :o ). I'll pause to mention that the mesquito bites we thought she got while camping aren't mesquito bites at all. They're CHICKEN POX ( :eek: Zip's NEVER had chicken pox :eek: )!! They are treating that and most of the bumpies are gone this morning. It could be that the throwing up/diarrhea ( :o ) is a side-effect of that medicine.
They still don't have a clue about the heart problems though. :(
That's all I know right now. Thank you once again for your support and encouragement.
Zip, I just wrote a note to Amy but wrote it here instead of a p.m. to you to print out. So I came back here, edited this message and cut the message and pasted it to a p.m. to you. DUH Laurie, can't you follow directions EVER
Laurie:o
prayers sent.
Prayers on the way for Amy from me too.
I'll send you a message just for her soon.
I wonder if the chicken pox could be responsible for all this? I know measles in adults can really cause problems, maybe chicken pox can too.
(((HUGS TO YOU BOTH!)))
All my love and prayers for Amy's complete recovery and for you dear Tonya. And lots of positive thoughts coming your way too, friend:) {{{HUGS}}} Sandra
Prayers & get well soon wishes for Amy & stay well wishes
for you Tonya.:) Thinking good positive thoughts here in Indy.:)
Uppiedate ~ Thurs 10.40pm
Miz Amy just called me; she's home resting.
They still don't really know what caused her heart problems and there's not really anything they can do for the fluid/swelling. She said that in a-round-about-way they basically told her, "You can stay here and be sick or go home and be sick." So she chose the latter! (Can't blame her!)
They quit giving her the chicken pox medicine and, while she's still not having success keeping food down, it's not as bad as it was before. I guess it's just working its way out of her system now.
After work tomorrow, I'll be dropping by her house with your emails/PMs. I'll definitely let you know her reaction! I just know she'll love them!
Thank you guys sooooo much! I was (and still am a bit) worried!
PS For those who know about my friend with cancer, they think they've caught it in time and think it's limited to just one of her kidneys. They've given her a 90% chance of survival. While that's certainly GREAT news, it sure is scary/worry-some in the meantime. I visited her this afternoon and she didin't look good at all, just seemed VERY tired. Her surgery is scheduled for the 30th of this month.
Dear sweet Tonya, your cousin, your friend and You are in our prayers. Thank you for the updates.
Hugs from Gini

I didn't make it over to Amy's until Sunday....
She LOVED the notes, so much so, that she started crying when she read them. As she read them, I told her a little bit about each of the authors - she just kept repeating, "These are SUCH nice people! They don't even KNOW me! Now, I can't gripe at you for being on there every time I call. *giggle* .... I can't believe how nice they are!"
Long story short, if her health (and finances after the dr bills :eek: ) holds up, she wants us to try and make the California meeting. (She couldn't have told me this BEFORE I put a large sum on my cc??!! :-/ )
Amy has dr's appointments for tomorrow and Wednesday - those will determine if there is any permanent damage to her heart.
Thanks guys!:cool:
I'm not stopping those prayers just yet! Thanks for the update. Does she have any fuzzy nurses to keep her company?
(gets down on knees in gratitude)
Dear God, thank you for helping Amy and providing her with a such a dear cousin and friend.
We continue to pray for her good health and that soon she will be good as new.
And God could you maybe answer a private prayer from me.......that it is possible that Amy and Tonya can come to California in July. If you don't quite understand, just ask Phred and Cinder and Smoke - they have a direct line and could explain why it is important for all of us.
Thanks, God........we are very grateful.
We figger He got da message ;) Miz Gini!Quote:

Zip, your friends reaction is exactly like my JennyBird's (d-in-law) :) Laughed, cried and shook her head in amazement... and Jenny has even met some PT'ers at a Pennsylvania meeting last year. She finds out this week if radiation and/or chemo will be necessary but appears to be getting stronger every day. I now have 3 special candles burning .. Amy,s Jenny's and one for Staci's Uncle Dick. Plane, train, automobile or rollerskates... you two MUST do everything possible to join us at Gini's - puleeeeese!
