Guest guest Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 I am so very sorry to hear this . It isn't fun , especially with the holiday. Exactly how old is she. I am not sure. I will definitely be mailing out tomorrow a.m. Bless you as you support & simply " being there " for them all. You are certainly a big loving help to them.. LOVE & HUGS, GrandmomBEV has been admitted to Hospital has been admitted to the hospital today. The doctors want to aggressively treat the pseudomonas infection she has in her lungs that are raising havoc. She will go in for a brief surgery in the morning so they can insert a port-line that will stay in a strong vein for a couple of weeks. It will be use to deliver the strong antibiotics and any other medication she may need directly into her blood stream. The plan is to treat her infection, then on Wednesday the 27th of November she will have her feeding tube placed in her tummy. Then she will stay for a couple days post-op and hopefully go home on the 30th or the 1st of December. Steve(Daddy) will be staying tonight and tomorrow and then we will begin a rotation of family members staying with her 24/7. Stevie(little brother) will be staying with Gram and Grampy throughout the time. loves company and would be trilled with visits, as well, (I'm sure) her parents or whomever else is staying with her would. Your prayers and notes of encouragement to Steve, as well as to Steve and I have been a great source of comfort at this most unnerving time. Because of the length of time involved and the seriousness of her illness, along with her lack of energy, is feeling a bit sad and is quick to have a teary melt down when least expected. (As she is well deserving of) She could use some cheering up and boy, oh, boy would she be trilled if you could pass this on to everyone one your e-mail list and if everyone could take the opportunity to drop her a card or a note it would left her up- big time! I realize everyone is busy this time of year and it would take a bit of time, but it would mean alot to our family and especially to and we would be so grateful to you. We also know that with the love and support of friends and family we will stand firm together to fight this horrific disease. Blessings to you and your families and once more, thanks. 's address at the hospital is: Elaine Maine Medical Center Barbara Bush Childrens' Center 22 Bramhall Street Portland, Maine 04102-3175 ><(((( " > Steve & Louise Steve & Louise Gram and Grampy to Princess 5WCF and Her footman, Stevie 3 years WOCF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
