an update for y'all

Saturday Jenny had surgery. The drains they had put in to suction both tears in her colon were not working at all. So they went in and actually put the tubes in the tears. They are not suctioning. They are just draining naturally. That is working. Thank goodness. That was the first time in a week that it was working. Well last night someone came in to take an xray of her chest. They have to slip the film under her. Well when they did that she started screaming and saying that something was hurting her. Well turns out that the packing they had over her stomach wound had busted and her wound had broke through the gauss and stuff. So this morning she had emergency surgery to go in and wash her stomach wound out and replace the packing and proctection they had over it. I feel for her. Right after the xray they also came in to change her sheets which didn't help.

Jenny is now running a high fever. It's like 102.5. Which means she has an infection. They are waiting on her blood work to come back to confirm for sure. Poor Jen. I know she is ready for all this to be over. We are all. But on a good note before the packing on her stomach came off they had managed to control her pain. They had finally gotten her pain medicine right where she wasn't hurting and was able to sleep for the first time in a couple days. I hope she isn't in a lot of pain from this and if she was I hope they got it taken care of.

anyways I just wanted to give everyone an update. Just remember since she is back in memorial Hermann you can send her an E greeting again. She still hasn't read ANYTHING anyone has sent her but we are still keeping them for her. She's in room smicu 833. So send her some she is going to know she is loved and supported when she is ready.
