PRAYERS NEEDED FOR MEL AND GAYLE

Sooooo glad to hear she's improving! I know that was scarey for both of you. We've missed you. Isn't it something what meds can do to a body, if that is what caused all her trouble? I hope they can pinpoint that soon. Keep us posted on progress! :)
 

Mel,

Hang in there buddy.
Glad to hear that Gayle is feeling better. Keep her going in that direction :)

Thanks all. The last couple of days, she has good days, a great day, and then....back to square one again. So exasperating!

And, Evy...she watches General Hospital..............................that's when I try to catch my "cat nap"...LOL
Hugs to all,
Mel

Thanks, Bridgeendfarm.

She did pretty well yesterday (Easter). Today she saw the urology doctor for her normal weekly consult with him. Gayle actually had a pretty good day today, but I can tell that she's pretty tuckered out right now. Well, there went one eye closed...............................annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, there went the other.....LOL

Thanks again, all.

glad to hear that Easter went pretty well for her and still praying for you both! So looking forward to seeing that she is healthy and happy and you are back with us more! ~hugsnprayers~
 

So how soon is it gonna be til the weather improves in your area? That way you can get her out somewhere for some good clean fresh sprinf time air, she will start improving a lot faster and you'll feel better too!

And I'm talkin out side the city limits! :icon_sunny:

Mel,
Thank you for a good update.
I am so pleased to hear that Gayle is better.
Get some rest yourself old Friend
This has been awfully hard on you too.

Our prayers continue...

Thom and Kathy
 

Thanks all. Forgot to tell you....the urologist says there's a tiny hole in her ureter that is leaking fluid. This is in the area of the where the stones tore through the ureter, but appears to be on the backside. While it is of concern, he is going to wait until mid May and do another CT Scan w/o contrast at that time to see what has happened to that hole. There is a possibility that it will heal on its own, just like the other side did. However, the other side healed because he had inserted a stent to bypass the fluids to the bladder. He doesn't think that this has any relation to her inability to use her leg muscles. So, at this point we will see how things go until mid-May. In the meantime....we are hoping that she will be strong enuf for me to take her the first week of May to the Outer Bank, NC for a week of well-deserved vacation for both of us. Well....for me....I plan to get in some MDng in the legal spots. Her family will also be going, so it will give me a chance to relax a tad.

Of course....May is still quite a ways off. She starts physical therapy this Thursday, even though I have been making her do leg exercises. I know....I'm such a meanie....LOL Actually, I saw it on ER and General Hospital..................................JUST KIDDING! lol Well, I sure didn't see it on OPRAH or ELLEN....LOL

Thanks again from the both of us.

Re: PRAYERS NEEDED FOR MEL AND GAYLE UPDATE SEPT 19TH

I just talked to Mel, and Gayles surgery went great they removed the kidney she is up and walking around and if all goes s expected she will get to go home Mon. She will be going to her sisters their home has B&B upstairs so the sister willl be better for her for now! So keep them in your prayers that it keeps goin as hoped and prayed for!
 

Oh please tell Mel, that I am praying big time for him and wife.. and thank you MG for keeping us up to date as well..

prayers and hugs to you both,

Things have improved since Gayle's surgery. It looks like the right kidney is taking over and doing its job sufficiently. They were able to do it vial laprascopic (sp?) surgery.........but they still had to do at least one large incision. They needed to bring the kidney out in one piece because of the risk of further infection.

She is insisting that I go ahead with my trip to CTH2....and who am I to argue....LOL Anytime somebody tells me that I HAVE to go metal detect.....Lordy...LOL

Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers. Hopefully this was the last of everything..............it only took one year of 14 surgeries. Before all of this happened, she had never been in the hospital except to have a baby.

You as well my friend.
Hope you have a good trip.

Thom and Kathy
 

Our prayers are for her continued recovery.
 

We are all so glad that you are able to take the trip and that Gayle is improving ....You need a much deserved vacation and she needs a rest from you! LOL....Maybe you can find her a big fat gold piece while detecting! Tell Gayle to make sure she tapes Oprah for you...wouldnt want you to miss anything! :) :) :)
 

Hey, Gypsy, I brought the tub........hope you have a way back for it...LOL

Thanks all.......I don't think it is a secret to know how happy I was to finally get on the road today....
God Bless,
Mel
