niececola Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi, Just a quick update on Andrea's mom. Her surgery was delayed yesterday; they finally finished around 10 pm last night. She is awake, but still on the ventilator. While in surgery they discovered a leaky aorta and they were able to fix it. Please keep Andrea's mom in your prayers. Andrea hopes to post more later today. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I just thought I would share this message with you as well. I'm sure Andrea wouldn't mind! Hope you don't mind my adding this to your thread? *************************************************** ANDREA WROTE THIS MORNING: The surgery lasted till 9:30pm and the next 24 hours are the most critical. We could only see her unconscious in ICU for 5 minutes and it was really hard to see her that way. There were some complications due to all the lung radiation damage. Recovery will be harder b/c of it too. We pray she will wake up tomorrow. She will not be woken up until the pulmonologist decides if she can be taken off the ventilator. What a scary day. And I somehow have tonsolitis even though my tonsils were supposed to be removed in first grade Thanks for all the e- mails and calls! ************************************************** Prayers are being said for Andrea and her family. Love & Hugs, Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Thanks everyone! A quick update: She is still on a ventilator in ICU. She did acknowledge we were there by squeezing our hand. She has been in and out of awakedness all day, mostly out.They will evaluate tomorrow if she can come off of ventilator. After this fiasco, we have another problem, she is losing red blood cells, so in a few weeks will need an endoscopy to check for source of lost of blood. I pray it is not serious.

Nushka Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Oh Andrea, It seems that when it rains it pours for your poor mom. Know that she is in my prayers, as are you. I hope it is something that can be fixed easily and that she heals from her surgery well. Maybe she will be home again soon. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
