Jackie needs support right now. She is still in the hospital due to complications from a secondary infection. Her white cell count went high and they have run tests on her. They have determined it not from her surgery but bronchial or UTI infection, which is making her recovery difficult for her. Bless her heart, she passed her NG tube leak test only to have to submit to another leak test the next day which checked her for small bowel leaks. She suffered terribly when she had to drink quanities of dye with her new pouch. But thankfully she had no leaks! We don't know how much longer she will have to stay in hospital, probably keep her until her white blood count goes down. Please keep her in your prayers and if anyone has shared her experience we would love to hear from you. Vikki
