Kristin (gypsyrhiannon) in ICU - needs prayers

[sodascouts]

Update as of Sept. 29: Doctors say, after further testing that finds her in worse shape than they thought, that Kristin won't be leaving the hospital for "awhile."

Update as of Sept. 27: Kristin looks good and is in good spirits, but they can't figure out what's wrong with her and they can't figure out what to do about it. All they know is that something is causing her pancreas to have the tear and the cyst, and that it has to heal itself for her to get better. So all they can do is feed her through an IV, deny her "real" food to let the pancreas "rest" for as long as it takes and give her pain medication. Of course they are giving her every test they can to determine the problem but so far, no luck. Hopefully they will be able to find something, because if they can't figure out what caused the problem, it will be hard to rule out a relapse.

Because there is really nothing much they can do and because the insurance companies are getting impatient, they are sending her and her IV and her pain medication elsewhere. A family has volunteered to let her live in their basement. She is hoping to continue her studies online and still graduate on time (she's in her last year of law school). She will be essentially bedridden for quite some time.

If anyone would like to do something to help, PM me.


Kristin doesn't post here much, but you might remember her from my reviews if you read them. She's currently in the ICU of the Osborn Hospital in Scottsdale, bleeding from the pancreas. They don't know what caused it - maybe a cyst in her pancreas. A pool of blood has gathered in her pelvis. It's so bad they have called the family to Phoenix. Please pray for her.
