Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 Dear Lori, I just spoke to DeeDee.......she says she is at peace, not scared. She said she asked Dr.R how much weight he thought she would lose with the gastroplasty and he replied " I'm not even thinking about how much weight you might lose, I don't know if you are even going to live through the week. We're not out of the woods yet. " He told her the steroids have turned her insides to mush and he had never seen anything like it. His concern is any leaks that might occur anywhere he put a staple. DeeDee is self pay and is really concerned about an extended hospital stay but she said she is calm and really at peace with the situation. She is up and walking around and I read the post that you Lori put on e-groups. She said she could feel the power of our prayers and she feels that is why she is so at peace. She is a wonderful lady and I told her she will probably be getting lots of visits and calls. I told her when Randy and I come into town we'll come see her and go sight seeing. I plan on being in Durham on the 29th and I will be at the hospital for the surgeries on the 31st and 1st. I will hold everybody's hand that wants me to.
