Hi,

I am leaving for the Univ. Of Pa. today. I will be admitted for a few days.

They are going to place a PICC line in me and start me on TPN.

the Nutrition Support Nurse told me that they will start me on 24

hours a day of TPN and then reduce the TPN to 12 hours a day. Once I can

tolerate 12 hours of TPN a day I can come home.

I am nervous, upset, and scared. So many feelings running through my head.

My health is changing and not for the good. I don't like it when my health

has the upper hand. I know i need this b/c I am malnourished(my weight is

down to 75lbs.) and need the nutrition and fluids, but that doesn't make it

any easier.

Within the next few weeks I will be going to NEMC in Boston for J tube

surgery. I hope and pray that my body can handle the J feedings, b/c if not

I will have to have a Hickman placed and go on TPN for the rest of my life.

I don't want to even think about how that will change my life. I am trying

to keep that out of my mind.

I will update when I get home. Please keep me in your thoughts and if you

do pray please say a prayer for me. I am so scared and really don't want to

do this, but know I have to. I wish there was a different decision for me.

Have a great day!!!!

Hugs,

Ann-Marie

A big hug is coming your way. I know it won't change things, but know

that I am thinking of you.

I understand your being scared. I would be too. Take it one day at a

time, but it sounds like you need more nutrition.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know this is very hard for

cyber hugs your way.

Dear Ann-Marie,

We will definitely be lifting you up in our prayers. I wish I could be there

with you to hold your hand and let you know you are not alone. Unfortunately I

have to do that alot and I suppose it is a blessing for me. But you are a

strong woman and can handle this....I understand the pain of facing new hurdles

with this disease as I share DW's pain each day. I don't know how you feel but

I do understand and care very deeply. Please keep us up to date and let us know

as soon as you are home. I don't write alot.....lots of calves, kids and crops

to tend to but I do try to read each night or early a.m. and continue to pray

for each of you.

Love and prayers,

Lynda R.
