I'm In The Hospital

I am asking for prayers tonight. I got very sick last night and developed a temp of 101. My surgeon told me to go to the ER to be evaluated. A ct scan and upper gi confirmed I have a small leak. Out of several thousands, I'm the 2nd one that this has ever happened to with my surgeon. Everyone here has always been very supportive and I appreciate any words of encouragement. I'm feeling quite down right now.

Thanks everyone. I've had alot of nausea, diarrhea and a uti. I was told today my urine came back positive for e. coli..the antibiotics are helping. They told me when I can go 48 hours consecutive without a fever, I could go home. I sure hope it's this weekend!

Peacequeen, you have a great attitude, and my prayers are with you. Heal quickly!

I'm so glad to see you posting peacequeen. I've been thinking about you. How on earth could you have come in contact with ecoli? I'll be looking for your continued posts and praying for your improvement!

Oh, dear - not sure how I missed this post! So sorry to hear about the leak, at least it's making sense why you were having so many problems post-op. Hope you start feeling better soon!

What an absolute bummer! Praying for you!

Peacequeen, hope you are doing better and maybe home settled into your bed and comfy environment. Prayers coming your way...
