Soo Looking Furrward to Surgery!! [GOING Home..]

[Karen]

Thanks for the paryers everyone, they must be working as I just got a call from Gina, and she's feeling much better. So they at least found a stronger medicine that is working. She is on blood thinners, and not allowed to try to get up, or move around too much until they do another MRI in a couple days to make SURE the clots are dissolving, but at least they've stopped mentioning amputation. The surgeon didn't get there until 6 hours later than expected because of emergencies, but said the surgery site looks cleaner, looks better now, so that is also good.

Gina thanks everyone for their continued prayers, and says she will follow doctor's orders for sure. She's off now to get a new x-ray of her knee - they want to check for damage from when she fell, to see if she'll need additional surgery.

Wow! Thank goodness amputation is no longer on the surgeons minds anymore.

Great news that Gina is feeling/getting better!

Gina - thinking good thoughts and sending them your way!

Glad you are feeling better!

Hey Gina - I've been following this but haven't checked in before. I am VERY glad to hear that you're feeling better, relieved that they stopped mentioning amputation (SCARY!!) and I hope you are home with your ark very soon!

Thanks, folks - she's still got several days in the hospital, and we're all praying the blood thinners work and those clots in her right thigh dissolve for good - that's the most dangerous thing right now, and why she's not allowed to move. She said, when telling me that she's promised to follow the doctor's orders to the letter, that she does want to be able to walk normally again, and to run and to dance - all of these require a functional knee, of course.

And I did ask, Terry, if when they allowed her to go home they'd give her a walker this time, but they aren't even thinking that far ahead yet. I forgot to mention in my last post that her fever has gone down, probably why she feels much more alive today, but they are watching that closely, too.

Thanks for the uppydate, Karen! Its nice to have something POSITIVE happening for Gina. Great news!!

Hey, is Cathy (Taz_Zoee) with Gina now?

She's still got several days in the hospital ...

And I did ask, if when they allowed her to go home, they'd give her a walker this time,
but they aren't even thinking that far ahead yet.

Seems like the Hospital didn't "think" the First time they discharged her!

How are they handling the Deaf Translator / Interpreter situation?
Have they set her up with a way to communicate with her daily care givers?

Keep Getting WELL, Gina!!
