getting things ready for jenny to come home

So we've been told that jenny will be coming home soon. I've started getting things ready at the house for her. She has caught a couple infections. They are under control, but need to be gone before she can leave. She will have a nurse come to the house to change her ivs and central lines and bags. She will still be in bed, and be fed through her ivs and things. She is walking a lot more, with the help of a walker of course. Everything else is still the same.

If you haven't called or text her, then do it. She has had visitors. So if you would like to see her then call. She isn't calling people, but if u call she answers. She wants visitors, and enjoys the company. She has her cell phone with her.

Please continue to pray for the infections to go away, and for her healing to continue on schedule.

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update.

Taking Visitors

Jenny is doing really well. She is wanting visitors right now. She doesn't want people to stay for hours because she does get tired easily. This has still been emotional on her so when you see her she doesn't want people to come visit if they are going to be emotional and cry. Trust me I know thats hard. I have been through this all with her and I still get choked up, very easy. So please call her or text her. You can also call her room phone. 602. On Easter talan and her took a picture together. It was very sweet and cute. anyways I just wanted to give everyone a short little update. God is good, all the time!!!!

choaked up

Today I saw jen. I have to confess its been a while. She is doing do good! The whole time I was there I kept getting choaked up because its amazing how far she has come. Physically, mentaly....everything. I cannot express in words how amazed, happy, and suprised by it all! She has come along so fast. Its not been easy but she has done it. She is still not at the finish line but its in sight. All I can say is god is great. I am so proud of her for fighting this whole time. Next month will be 6 months!!!! She has an amazing nurse who has become a good friend. She comes to see jen even if she isn't in jens unit. She is definitely one of my jenny angels.

Jenny is in a new room now. She is in room 602. Please everyone send her some e greetings. And she is decorating her room with actual cards so if you want to send her a card let me know and I will find a way to get it to her.

She has her phone so text her. She isn't crazy about talking on the phone but she would love everyone to text her to keep her busy during the day.

I just want to say how happy I am and proud of her. God has a special plan for her he is absolutely watching over her and guiding her life.

Thank you everyone for the prayers and caring so much. It has helped her recovery.

I love every one of my jennys angels!!!

P.s. jenny is at the memorial hermann in the medical center....the same one she has been at for 6 months. It also says it on many of my other blogs!!

update

I am sorry it has been so long. Jenny doesn't want me to update this all the time anymore. I guess it is bothering her everyone knows everything.

Jenny is doing good. It has been a very long and slow healing process. Her colone was up to seven tears, and has had many infections set in. She has stayed strong and fought through it all. She is an amazingly strong person. Not too long ago we over came a hard obstacle. The skin graphs they have been doing to her colone have finally started sticking. So that means tissue growth has started in that area. That is very very good.

She has started reading everyones cards and letters. She has a cell phone again and is asking everyone to text her your numbers or to email them. You can still send her letters through the hospital by going to memorial herman's website and clicking patients and then e greetings. She is room 670.

Do y'all realize its been almost 6 months. Can y'all imagine how it must feel to sit in the hospital for 6 months and not be able to even get out of bed? Gosh I would go crazy.


I am asking everyone to send her a letter. She is reading them now and this will give her something to do. I don't think she has any clue how many people have been keeping up with how she is doing.

Thank you to all my jennys angels for keeping up with her, and keeping her in your thoughts. Please read the blog before this. Mom has posted a comment to it that she wants people to read.

Thank you to all!

update for all my jennys angels

Jenny has been out of icu for a couple of days now. She had a staff infection that was not responding to antibiotics. They were able to do a skin graph to her colon so that the tissue will hopefully grow and close the tears.

This whole situation has been so hard on jenny. I am worried about her mentally. She still hasn't picked up a mirror or wanted to see anyone. Her anxiety is really bad. John was able to get her in a wheel chair and push her around the hospital for a bit. But he said she was stressed the whole time. She didn't like him talking while pushing her, and I guess was scared people were looking at her. I wish she would let people in. I think it would help her out. She hasn't opened one card, or read one letter. I hurt for her. I know she has been and is going through so much. I can't imagine how she is feeling.

As y'all pray for her physical health, please pray for her mental health. Please pray for her anxiety and that she opens back up to family, friends, and the world again.

back in sticu

Today jenny had surgery. Afterwards her blood pressure was really low and they can't get it up. She has also been running a high fever. So they moved her back to sticu. I will keep everyone updated on her status. I feel for her. She has been through so much. When will she catch a break?

february 8

Its been a while. Sorry. Right now the recovery is very slow and basically all the same stuff. They still can't fix the tears in her Colon. They have a suction draining the stomach wound which is taped and stapled on her stomach which is still leaking out of the sides. The problem with that is its draining down her sides where she is burned and then on her bed under where she lays. So right now the goal is to change her sheets often and try to keep her sides clean. She is getting out of bed to sit in a chair for an hour or two a day. They put her in the first room they had. So she is on a weird floor. I think its like 613 or 618. I am pretty sure its 618. If you send her something make sure its for virginia ryan and I am pretty sure it will get to her. Please continue to send your love. She isn't ready to read it still but one day when she is ready I think our love and support is going to make her stronger. I hope it lifts her to a place where she feels better, supported and peaceful with what has happened. I hope it makes her feel special, loved and feel like god has a plan to use her in a very special way.


Thanks for every ones support.
