Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Hi All I have some news on Joanie via her sister. It all is definitely not good and any prayers you have would certainly be welcome. Joanie is back on a ventilator in ICU, as she again had problems with vomiting when they tried to extubate her. At this point she also has a couple other problems going on and is in bad shape. She is unresponsive at this point and they have scheduled an EEG to determine her brain activity status.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Ugh... Okay... I can't give all the details as they are private. But I will say.. this story is way more complex than " no one had time for her " and her family cares about her very much. Please don't judge unless you know the whole story.

Pete, can you tell us if there were other factors, other brain tumors, what did this to her??????????? I'm not being nosy or morbid I just need some way to rationalize this, it doesnt make sense.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Pete, What a horrible outcome for Joanie. We still don't understand what happened and what they did for sure. This will make several of us anxious until the full story is told. Thanks for your up-dating us. You can be sure I will say prayers for Joanie and her loved ones. vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
