ursol Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 HI all, If I already posted this, I'm sorry. I'm having computer issues tonight. So any how, here I go again. Last Saturday the usual abdominal pain that I get got more serious. I didn't sleep all night and the Vicodin did not seem to help me. But I muddled through and the next night (sunday night) the pain was excruciating and I was trying to pack a bag to Atlanta as I was leaving for a business trip. I knew I was never gettng out of here for that trip, the pain was not going away so I cold my Oncologists office and they paged a doctor to call me who told me to go to the ER. That was around 1:00 AM. I have been at yale ever since. A full week. They have tried to find out what is wrong. so far I have Pneumonia (figured that out yesterday and I'm on Antibiotics), they also found out that I have a urinary tract infection. also looks as though a small cyst on my ovary may have ruptured also causing this pain. What has me very scared is that a CT Scan shows a potential mass between my stomach and Kidney as well as another one on my right lung. Thank you for letting me get my emotions out. On top of that I cannot see my kids due to the SwineFlu Epidemic. Yale-New haven is protecting their patients by not allowing any vistors in the hospital under the age of 18. The docs are now talking about biopsy, Chemo, and god knows what else. Lilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebywater Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Oh Lilly... I am praying. That's just... a whole lot of crap that got piled up, isn't it? I hope that 'possible mass' has another explanation and that you're healed up and out of there quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Oh I am praying that all are just cysts or infection. Please let us know. I am sure you must really be missing those kids. I spent a week in the hospital one time and it was awful. My holiday was Mother's Day. I am praying all goes well and you will be able to spend Thanksgiving with your family.

carolhg Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Praying that this is just another one of those bumps that we look back on and are grateful that it was nothing more. I am praying for that for you Lilly. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillise Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Lily, You are back on the prayer list (not that you were ever off, but getting bumped up in intensity). I'm sorry you are having such a rough time and hope that the mass is something that is not cancer and easily treatable. In the meantime, I hope you get over the pneumonia soon and they get the pain resolved from the cyst. Hang in there--we are all pulling for you!

Maryanne Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hi Lilly, so sorry to read all you are going through and not seeing your kids really adds fuel to the fire. I hope like everyone here this all gets sorted out soon. Meanwhile, Iam sending healing prayers you way. I know you will keep us posted.

Barb73 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Lilly, I know that not being able to see your kids when you most need them around is a bummer. My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery from the pneumonia, and a resolving of the "other issues." There are times in life when things turn out to be better than at first glance. That is my prayer for you. Hold onto strength, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursol Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thank you everyone for praying. I was released from the hospital today. Pneumonia is cleared up as well as a urinary tract infection but they still are dealing with the Nausea and Abdominal pain so I'm taking meds that seem to be working for now and I'm on a TPN nutrition IV 13 hours each evening until the doctors feel I have worked my nutrition back to normal. I'm having trouble eating after all this stuff that went on. As far as the cancer..they are still not sure if it is or isn't but I will be discussing it at length with my Onc next week to decide next steps. Sorry to be away so long. Hope everyone else is fairing well. Love Lilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkala Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 So great to see an update Lilly. I'm so glad you can be with your kids now. That was a long couple of weeks. I'm holding you firmly in my prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Oh Lilly, that was certainly a long haul. I bet you are ecstatic to finally be home. That 13 hour thing sounds a bit involved, but much better than being isolated from your kids for weeks on end. I sure hope your nutrition gets back up to par quickly and that the 'C' stuff proves to be notning. Thinking of you lots, hon. Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillise Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Lilly, I'm so glad you are out of the hospital. I will continue to pray that you get the nutrition back to where it should be and that the cancer isn't! In the meantime, it's nice to know you are home with your family.

barbvh Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Lilly, So happy to hear that you are home with your family. It must feel great after so long. Praying the IV nutrition works quickly. ((Hugs)) BarbVH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaminkw Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Lily, so glad you're home with your family and at least part-way back to good health.
