Crosspost - There's power in prayer/healing light/positive thoughts

December 9, 2001

Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, healing energy, animal swingin' on

behalf of Jeannie. She was in renal failure last night on a respirator with a

50% chance of making it through. This morning, it appears that the one time of

dialysis may have helped kickstart the kidneys as there was some urine output

and they're hopeful that the kidneys may begin functioning. Her blood pressure

is stable, white cell count and temperature is down. She may even get to be

taken off the respirator Monday or Tuesday. There is SUCH power in our

collective energies and I thank God, Dr. Welker and all of you for helping to

pull Jeannie through this. I appreciate your continued support and am looking

positive into the future of our WLS sister.

For those of you who are pre-op, know that this is a rare occurrence, but

obviously one that can happen. Jeannie was a high-risk surgery and had several

co-morbs, among them being uncontrolled diabetes for 30 years. But, she is a

trooper and her odds of survival have gone from 20% (at the time of the 2nd

surgery) to 50% after the second surgery and are even better now that the

kidneys appear to be beginning to function again. She is a trooper and a very

dear friend -- I think with her strength, with Dr. Welker's skill and compassion

and with the support of all of us sending thoughts, prayers and healing energy

-- that she will pull through this. I pray that it is meant to be.

Thank you so much -
