Brenda 55 is in the hospital

15 years ago

I just got off the phone with Brenda. She has been in the Methodist Hospital for 5 days in her home town, after being hit by a semi truck. She does has not have broken bones but can't seem to keep her blood oxygen level up. Everytime they take the oxygen off her level drops to 60-65. So, they think there is a blood clot somewhere. Brenda is allergic to Iodine so she can't have some of the medical test to discover where this clot may be. There does not seem to be any internal injuries. She say's she is very lucky and so glad that no one was with her in the car. The truck hit her straight on the passengers side of her car.

Let's start a prayer thread for her. She said she could sure use some help because it's hard doing this on her own....

Who will reach out and grab my hand in prayer for Brenda?

We just went through the week from hellllll with poor little Roscoe! But THANK YOU SO MUCH for being there for us, Chicka!! You were a godsend!! We found out on Sunday that Roscoe has Parvo. I guess the 2 shots DH got from Tractor Supply weren't enough. They had told DH that the shots were "everything she'd need, except for the rabies shot(s)." WRONG! The vet said at least 3 shots are needed, and periodic boosters are even better. Even a dog with updated shots has a chance of getting it! And all it takes is a sniff of an infected dog's feces. Wonderful... We thought the diagnosis was a death sentence. But the doc gave us 3 options - the unthinkable one; the high-dollar, out-of-our-league option of hospitalization and all the extra care that comes with it (90% chance of recovery; I REALLY wish we could have gone this route...); or only choice of home care with under-the-skin fluids 4x daily, antibiotics, and anti-vomiting pills (60% chance of recovery since she's 8-9 months old; 50% chance at 5 months or younger). She's almost back to her 100% pre-sickness Roscoe!!! We thought we lost her a couple times. I've never gone through anything so heartbreaking or scary....at least nothing in which I've been almost solely responsible for care and comfort. I guess our area has had an outbreak of it, as the vet said they've seen a lot of dogs come in recently with Parvo. She will be contagious for at least 2 weeks, and after that, we'll be conducting a thorough cleansing of the property. I'm so thankful we don't have any other dogs to worry about....and that she will now be immune to the virus! She's now scared to death of needles, but whatcha gonna do? LOL Thanks, again, Chicka!!! You are such a caring person, and the comfort you provided this week is PRICELESS!!!!! *HUG* Brenda

Wow. That platter! Wow. Fabulous. I really like Rick Bayless' books, every recipe of his that I've tried has been consistently yummy. And I think that the tupperware containers are great! Ever since I've done battle with Rubbermaid about some melted lids (it seems that one set of their microwave safe containers have lids that aren't microwave safe) I've been on the look out for "reliable" storage. Great job, Brenda! You've got great taste. Nina

Happy Birthday Brenda (Brenda55)

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes -- it was a really wonderful birthday weekend. It started at a company party with a surprise birthday gift of a replacement of a ring that was lost (probably stolen) at the accident scene. Then a surprise birthday party last evening at The Vineyard on the outskirts of San Antonio, which was beautiful, the food outstanding, superb service and even the parking lot had some type of reflective glass pieces at night which was a perfect ending to a wonderful evening. The party was thrown by my daughter and god daughter and her husband. Friends and family came in from out of town and it was great fun. Then this morning they hosted a brunch at Mi Terra. Gina, I still have a few hurdles to get over due to the accident, but the main thing is that I am slowly getting over them, maybe not very gracefully, but over them! I am promised pictures of the party and when I get them I will post them. Thanks again for the b-day wishes. Brenda
