Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 For those who aren't on some other lists Shana..........All the special thoughts you can gather...PLEASE...........She needs that help NOW!! LOVE & HUGS, GrandmoMBEV Update on Shana Dear Friends, After coming through her lung transplant surgery, Shana had to be rushed back to the operating room because her lungs were swollen and could not get enough oxygen. The surgen explained that Shana is experiencing " graft rejection, " and that her chances of survival are 50/50. Earlier this evening the oxygen levels in her blood were only 86%, and that was with a resporatorer breathing for her @ 100%. The Doctor explained that if these numbers kept decreasing, she would die. As of midnight, the oxygen levels in her blood increased to 100%, I believe as the direct result of the Lord Jesus interviening on her behalf because of the many prayers. Currently, the doctors have her medically paralized so that her body is exerting as little effort as possible and her chest is still open to allow for the swollen lungs to expaned. While her numbers have increased since this evening, a doctor stated that the next 24 hours will determine where her body can over come the graft rejection. At this point, medical science is doing all that it can, so we just have to just wait, pray, and see the the outcome. Thnaks, Kurt (Shana's husband) PS- due to the level of care Shana is recieving, the Hospital is requesting that no one call there to check on her status and that people not visit her at this time. However, please keep praying! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
