Angel reporting ^j^ -- Good morning, all... Good news! I spoke with Lisa Thelin last night and she is doing much better!! The doctor's were at a stand still trying to understand why she's been unable to keep anything down for many weeks after the dilatation didn't work, but they had the foresight to request a consult with a nutritionist who promptly put her on IV nutrition, fluids, extra potassium, etc. She has since regained much of her strength and the nausea has almost subsided completely. Woohoo! She wants me to pass along a BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE PRAYERS AND PRAYERS AND PRAYERS AND GOOD WISHES!!!! She will still be hospitalized for 1-3 weeks to get inpatient PT to build her strength up again. She is barely able to stand and unable to walk due to the stress and lack of nutrition on her muscles, but she has turned a corner and is doing MUCH better. Her weight loss is 115 lbs for 3 1/2 months! I also have a funny note: (I am just full of cheer today) ...I had a dream last night that I was having surgery, but my surgeon was a quack with wild hair and big handlebar mustache and his assistants arrived via car (and drove it right into the operating room! He hopped out (left the lights on, I think) and pulled the instruments together). My health care background makes me a little anal about infection control, so I was fussing at the assistants because they kept touching the instruments without gloves! Finally, the surgeon put me under and then grabbed a scalpel (no gloves). I remember yelling at him, saying "hey, mister, I'm not under! WHERE ARE YOUR GLOVES?" I then awoke quite rattled. Hopefully, my surgeon's team doesn't resemble these wackos! Thanks for listening!

^^j^^ THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS...PLEASE KEEP IT UP! Thank you too to everyone who has inquired about Lisa, put her in your prayer groups and stopped by her surgery page. I will check on her again today. I and her family are very concerned about her -- she was struggling so hard when I called her last and her sister reported the same thing...my heart hurts for her on this journey, and I pray for the time when her struggle turns around. Please continue your prayers, good wishes and positives. If you have a moment, please swing by her page and give virtual ink to your prayer. I will update again today. Thank you...you're the best!

Hi Lisa, I hope that you start feeling better soon. This is one heck of a way to lose weight. Hopefully in 6 months this will all be a distant bad memory for your thin new self! Diane

Hi Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear you're not doing well. You asked that we pray for a miracle and I will do just that. Our God is awesome and there's nothing He can't do! May His healing hands touch you and heal you completely and His blessings and mercy be abundant. Jan in Oklahoma
