May I ask for prayers and positive energy?

16 years ago

Yesterday, DS#1 came home from school and said one of his classmates got "sick" at recess and when she went to the nurses office, they called an ambulance and had her go to the hospital. This is a lovely young girl who has been on the same swim team with my kids for several years and we live in the same neighborhood, as well as the kids all going to school together. It turns out she has a brain aneurysm and will be hospitalized for several weeks. The friends and neighbors have all gotten together to take care of grocery shopping and meals, but knowing the power of the CF prayer and positive thoughts - I would love to ask you all to send healing powers to Jeri.

Thanks so much in advance

I'm sorry, Gellchom. You are so sweet to ask. I started a new thread "Update on Anna" since this one was getting quite lengthy. She got the results from the Pet scan on Wednesday of this week. It showed a spot on her spine that could possibly be the result of an old injury, which she doesn't remember having, but at any rate they are going to do an MRI on April 2nd. She will see the oncologist on April 17th and learn the results then. I'm hanging on to the thought that she fell down a complete flight of stairs at home a few years ago and hit the wall in front of her with her left foot. Tore her heel all to pieces and she has a brass plate and screws in it. She was off work for several weeks. Nothing was said about a back injury at the time, but????? I have not mentioned this to her. False hope is not a good thing, I'm afraid. Thanks again. jude

Thank you, cyn, and thanks to everyone for your kind prayers and energies... Here's an update: acc. to her DH, J. is moving in the right direction every day, evidently not hurting anywhere near as much, is back walking a bit, and if she keeps improving (it's a *long*, tricky process) over the next couple of days will get put on "the 5-day process" and then back home. Not sure what that last part means but I don't want to bother him. Basically, the direction of change is now positive. Heparin is a really tricky drug...I remembered that when I had my MI, I got clots in the vein in my arm where the heparin drip had been. Luckily, it was a superficial rather than a deep vein, so for some reason it either just dried up as a vein and my body worked around it (my memory is foggy but I do remember the hand guy saying something like that) or the clots resolved themselves without any help. But I remember the discomfort from just having clots in that small size vessel. And DD is pretty much back to normal -- the county and the camp have now decided to *close* the camp for now and investigate further, so no one else gets sick, because another group of campers who came in after us, *senior citizens* (for whom such a virus could be very serious--although any seniors who could go camping in central Oregon are probably tougher than I'll ever be : )), got sick too. Interesting to see public health at work. I'm just happy that DD wasn't nicknamed "barf girl" or anything when she went back on Friday : )

Thank goodness they found it before it killed her (that happened to my neighbor, she died in childbirth). More often than not, that's the outcome. She's a very fortunate young woman. Good thoughts for her.

How very fortunate the young lady went to the nurse's office and did not ignore that she felt poorly & kudos to the Nurse who recognized the need for an ambulance. This is why we need Nurses in our schools.
I will keep Jeri & her family in my Prayers.

Alex , Jeri will be in my thoughts and prayers for sure. What a scary time for her and her family. We just never expect this type of illness to strike children but it does and more often that we can imagine.

Kids are the best fighters....please keep us posted,

I'm just now seeing this. My heart and prayers go out to her and all her family and friends. One of my former co-workers is a surviver of an aneurysm. He's a former co-worker because he was able to finally move on and start his own business. Recovery can and does happen.

Thanks everyone.

I've not gotten any updates yet, but I will post when I know more. All we know so far is she is conscious and speakng a little and will need surgery to correct it in the very near future.

P&PT for Jeri and all that know her that she will make a speedy recovery and be well soon.

How lucky that is was discovered. DH's DB had a brain aneurysm that nearly killed him. We are grateful for the wonderful doctors and nurses that treated him and that he is still here with us.

I'm just seeing this for the first time and I am happy to hear all will be well. She is a lucky girl to have discovered it in this fashion. Just had a friend (in her 70's), perfectly healthy, complained of a horrible headache while baking Christmas cookies and went to the hospital. She died with two days from the bleed in her brain. Everyone who knew her was stunned.

I'm also just seeing this, I was gone at Peppi's all weekend.

I'm adding Jeri to my prayers, hopeing for an easy surgery and a full and complete recovery afterward.

I have been away for awhile and just read this Alexa. So many things were done right, her going to the nurse, instead of blowing it off, the nurse getting her to the hospital! All those things aided in her recovery, and I'm so glad for her and her family! She will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers! Keep us updated Alexa, when you can!

Update on Jeri.

I was at their house last night to drop off dinner and spoke with her older sister. She is on meds and sleeping a lot, 20+ hours a day. Also, she is talking a bit and does have a little movement in her fingers which is why the prognosis is so positive.

Thank you all again for the prayers and positive energy! It is working!
