Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Misty's blog is here: http://mistyonscd.blogspot.com/ She started putting up SCD recipes. She's not married no, and has a daughter.I'll post the Facebook group info here this weekend, just want her friends to review it before it's public. I will include a mailing address for sending donations and cards. Kathttp://scdkat.com That's amazing. She's always been so helpful and tons *tons* of recipes for everything. Didn't she recently start a blog for that? I will post her link on my blog. Can someone link me on FB also? Does she have a husband named Jay--anyone know? Thanks, Debbie I love the quote on Misty's page: " Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. " How true. Devastating news....makes you think. Marla From: Joanna Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 9:04 PM To: BTVC-SCD Subject: Re: Help Misty, please? My heart goes out to Misty and her family- I can't imagine how difficult it must be for them.I don't think there is a single person in this group who hasn't had to overcome constant struggle and hardship. But it sure does reinforce how precious and quick life is. We need to embrace each day and live life to its fullest. -JoannaSCD 1 year, Crohn's 1992, 20mg Prednisone -- 41 cd scd 12/05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi Kat, Is there a way to get a more extensive update about her? How is her daughter doing? Is there anything more we can do? Does she need anything sent to her? I know these are many questions and her friends and family may not have the " space " for such a thing..

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have asked a few questions from her friend but I'm trying not to push. She is in a rehabilitation hospital. She has the trach tube still in just 'in case' and had it capped so she can talk. She can communicate a little bit and asked a few questions. She doesn't remember the car accident. I haven't heard yet about her daughter. I'm keeping track of everyone's questions and will be asking her friend or sister soon.As a Canadian I have no idea how American insurance works to cover accidents, rehabilitation, and long term disability/care. But, I can imagine that financial help would be greatly appreciated now and in the coming years. Once she's eating food I'm sure we can all figure out a way to help out with that too. I'm going to assume she's getting non-SCD liquid meals out of a can right now, and maybe we can try to figure out how to work with her family and doctors on that front. I am doing some research to see what options there are (I have a doctor friend and nurse friend working in the hospital, and I'm asking them what options they know of that are available). If anyone has ideas please share! SCD in the hospital is something that completely stumps me. I know someone who is Celiac who couldn't even get proper gluten-free meals during a hospital stay. Often hospitals refuse to let you bring food in that you've prepared at home. I'm still trying to confirm the mailing address of the bank for donations by cheque.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I think it is pretty impossible to control food in the hospital unless someone near her is willing to make it and bring it to her. I don't know if any SCD ers live near her. Financial contributions can go to purchasing food.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Hey Kat, This was one of those messages that got lost in cyber space for like a week before resurfacing, but thanks for posting the info anyway.
