Just a quick note about Holly...

[jbsides]

Bruce,

I'm probably preaching to the choir with this, but I never underestimate the power of prayer. In '95 my father-in-law had a cardiac event (heart stopped) in John Wayne Airport and went to the floor (near the rental car counters by the big statue). The Sheriff's Deputy close by saw him go down and got the EMT's there and they hit him with the paddles on the way to Irvine Medical Center, where they brought him back (he was gone for over 11 minutes total). My wife was contacted right away, and we jumped in the car for the 15 minute drive down the 405 with my her on the rosaries the whole way. The intensity with which she was communicating was impressive. He came through it and is still here today.
There was a great deal of concern for the brain swelling, and we were warned if he survived, it could well be in a vegitative state.

I will never underestimate the power of prayer. Hang in ther Holly!

I am right there with you James. One of these days...I will share a cool story with all of you...but it's too much to type for now.

I feel that I am letting Holly "down" with my own stupid back problem...but it hurts so bad at times that I cannot move.It's also putting a strain on Lynn...as we aren't able to switch out very well being with Holly.

On a positive note...her levels for the creatinine and potassium are down significantly...now they just want to make sure that they stay that way. They are thinking that she has H1N1...but like Darren says...she is in good spirits (like always with her).

Thanks everybody so much for the kind thoughts, prayers and phone calls. They are ALL helping.

I can't say it enough

Bruce, give us an update on Holly this morning. Tex

[Xplantdad]

Holly was moved to another room...as the hospital was trying to put another child in with her (immune suppressed child with another child who is sick in the same room? )

So, about 2am this morning the switch was made. The kidney doc also came in...and it looks like Holly will be there for a while (a week or so?)as they don't want to sent her home only to relapse...her creatinine and potassium levels are back up...along with her blood pressure.

That's all I have for now...

[CC Rider]

Thanks for the update Bruce. We're thinking of you guys.

Thoughts and prayers from Wisconsin to Holly and your family....

Bruce,
So sorry to not have spoken with you over the weekend as we did not know about this. I signed off the computer last Friday and just now signed back on. Sorry!

Holly is in our prayers as well and so are you and Lynn. She is a trooper and will pull through this. I do not see her laying around waiting for herself to get better and more likely is grubling about all the things she could be doing. She will be back at it very soon. Tell her that her step mom and dad are thinking of her.

Lets hope you did not inherit the black cloud though it has been pretty clear the last few years.

[CamaroBob]

Get well soon Holly. We are all pulling for you.

That's unbelievable! But unfortunately, it's way too common. I don't know what is going on in the health industry but this type of mistake is being made way too often. I hope she starts doing better real soon and keep us updated, we're all thinking about you guys!
