With sincere apologies to Cindy's angel, I hope I can step in tonight with this update on Cindy. I just spoke with her best friend, Andrea, who is at the waiting room in the hospital nearly all the time during this hard period for Cindy. She is still on a ventilator but is doing better. The doctor hopes to extubate her in the morning. She is pretty sleepy from medications but I am sure she would be thrilled to see lots of posts of support to her surgery page. BIG HUGS and PRAYERS to you Cindy! Get better quick!

Cindy, I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. We met at the support group meeting the other night. Stephanie D has been keeping me informed on your status. Hope you are feeling so much better soon Cindy. Hugs to you!

<b>I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.</b>

Good News! I just spoke with Lew, Cindy's husband. As it turns out she did not have pneumonia after all. They opted to keep Cindy on the vent post-op as a precaution to protect her airway and be sure she was well oxygenated and having adequate pain control, with a goal of not getting post-op pneumonia. Sometimes people develop pneumonia or atelectasis, from not breathing deeply enough post-op. So AMOS SIBS: stop smoking if you do, deep breathe and use your incentive spirometer (breathing gizmo with the tube and ball) to keep your lungs inflated!!! Lew said they could have possibly taken Cindy off the vent last night but wanted to be sure her pain was controlled. They are planning on extubating her this morning. Thank goodness!! The second surgery was also done laproscopically, thru the same incisions as the original procedure so her healing time should be as quick as we initially expected. All I can say is, always expect things to go smoothly but know that sometimes things happen...thank God for good doctors and nurses and the best healthcare in the world, right here in the USA...Diane N

Oh dear, Cindy, I am so distressed to hear you are having such a bad time of things after surgery. I will try to give a call tomorrow to see if you are off the ventilator yet. I am praying for you and will keep looking for updates on your status. Hurry home soon my AMOS sis! HUGS
