Title: KitKatz is better
Post by: creakinator on August 20, 2013, 01:28:32 PM
I'm with her right now at the hospital.  She is much, much better.   She seems to be back to her normal self.   Hurrah!

The doctors finally have taken our concerns seriously and have really have taken good care of her her. 

Thanks for all of your good thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much for this update! I now have a cousin who is fighting for her life in ICU due to a surgical complication from a routine surgery - and bad bad attention to detail on more than one dr's parts. Seeing news like this is encouraging and gives me hope for her.

Let's hear it for strong women!!!

 :flower; UPDATE  :flower;

I really really really don't want to post this.....not after all of those wonderful messages but....

Christy called me at 7:30 this morning with an update. 

Bad news: They think that KK may have had a small heart attack really early this morning.  As a result, she may not be getting enough blood through her heart. They plan to run tests this AM to get more information about her heart health.  BOO!

Good news: She's awake and talking and doing well, except for some chest pains.  She doesn't remember too much of the last week or so but is talking "sanely" again.  Yah!

Please keep up the prayers and happy thoughts - they are helping!

If it ain't one thing, its another.  My prayer goes out to KitKatz.

If it ain't one thing, its another.  My prayer goes out to KitKatz.

Amen! 

She's been sick for 6 weeks now and the common pattern is "get better" --> "get sick" --> "get better" --> "get sick" .... rinse and repeat.  This process is hard on us all but doubly difficult for KK, who is facing setback after setback with the family "stubbornness".  Brave?  Crazy?  The jury is still out.

I know I personally hate getting everyone's hopes up and then dashing them to the ground when her BP tanks again or something else happens that sends her health spiral down again. As I told a family friend, "I know....I know...I only call with bad news.  Sorry."  ;-)

Oh no!!!!!!....

And I was SO confident after our Skype chat!...

Fingers crossed it's minor, and if she DOES turn out to have heart problems, better know now rather than when she's left hospital....

Please give her all my love, and tell her I said do NOT pay the bill for Cardiac services unless they prove that the big chunk of granite in her chest is actually a heart!... LOL....

Please give her our best wishes.
Love to you all.  :grouphug; :grouphug;

 :flower; UPDATE  :flower;

Now they're saying that it may not have been a heart attack but rather the top half of her heart beating at a different rate than the bottom half, which made all the machines have a FIT.  Things have settled down now that she's had the right medication administered.  Waiting to see what's next....

Isn't her talking "sanely"  a bad sign tho? Or am I thinking "saintly"?  :-[

Ups and downs! I know 'em. AS always, my very best to KK.

Ukrainian Tracksuit, you are not 'just a stranger'. You are a very welcome member of the IHD family!
