Evening all
I’m sorry i haven’t not updated you all in the last 24 plus hours. I’ve been up at the hospital both days. Came home last night and fell asleep literally while trying to eat some dinner (not kidding, hair in salad dressing - yuck although hubby got a hysterical laugh out of it).
Good news, she seems to be improving and her heart is looking good.
Bad news, she has developed some liquid in her left lung and is causing problems. She’s receiving treatment for it and after today’s she felt so much better. Her spirits greatly improved.
The doctors are still running tests. The whack-a-mole theory in action. She has a fracture in T-12 and needs treatments for that to help it heal and to strengthen the disc. They are making sure they rule out every possibility as to why she’s still having some chest pain, although not anywhere intense. Great news is, the pain is not from her heart.
Yesterday was a very bad day for her. She got very little sleep, hardly any at all in fact, was having difficulty breathing (the fluid) and just generally feeling lousy. After getting some decent sleep, getting put on oxygen, having breathing treatments, today was a much better day.
They are hoping to discharge her either Sunday or Monday where she will be transferred to a hospital in Leesburg where they already have doctors lined up to take on her case.
She did learn that she will only be on a small amount of medicine for her heart condition and has sworn to the Lord above, she has had her last cigarette. No more, never again and for now she isn’t going to be around anyone who does smoke.
That’s all I can update on right now. She’s loving all the messages coming her way and has read them.
Btw, funny story. Dave and I got her a bouquet of get-well balloons with a teddy bear holding them. She’s kept the teddy in bed with her. Today she told me (and took pictures to prove it) that her bear was “so smart” it was “watching Fox news” and she took a picture of it. Then Fox put a picture of Obama on the screen “her so smart bear, picked up a towel and put it over its head so it didn’t have to look at him” and yes, she has a picture of it.
Once I figure out how to upload the pics from my iPhone onto the net I’ll post them - it’s pretty funny plus shows how much her spirits have improved over the last two day.
Thanks for all the messages to her!

(Of course, I also cover my head with a towel when he appears on the screen!)
A million good wishes from myself and all the multitudes of freeper Care Bears wishing a quick recovery for you, Jeannie.

Tami.....I’m so relieved to see this update and learn that Jeanne’s improving and will be moved closer to her family in Leesberg.
Please put me on your list for any future updates....as I’ve not been pinged in awhile.
Also when she gets settled in the new hospital....Please give an address so I can write to Jeanne.
Thanks for supporting her & James. Please remind both how much they are loved and surrounded by our prayers.
Thanks,
Julie
