Kristin (gypsyrhiannon) in ICU - needs prayers

[golden braid]

Nancy, I'm sorry to hear this. I hope Kristin has a quick recovery and she's in my thoughts.

[GateandGarden]

Nancy, please let us know how she is when you can. I've been thinking about both of y'all.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers! I came here to update as soon as I found out more information. Her sister Julie just called me.

Kristin is going to make it! They still don't know what's wrong with her, and they will have to remove her gall bladder, but the bleeding has been stopped. She had to be given two bags of blood, but her blood pressure is stabilized. And it looks like her pancreas is HEALING ITSELF.

You know, lately I have been complaining about the Ledge, but it's time like these that show in the end, it's the caring people that make it worth it.

Thank you, Nancy, that is wonderful news! Too bad about the gall bladder, but all in all I think we can be very relieved and happy about the situation. Give thanks.

Thanks for the update Nancy - and Thank GOD!!! How amazing that her pancreas is healing itself...I'm so glad she's pulling through...ah the power of prayer

Thanks for the update, Nancy.
I've been keeping Kristin in my thoughts, and I hope she's 100% healthy again very soon.

[JazmenFlowers]

That is awesome and I'm so glad to hear that. I've thought about her alot and hopefully she is on a successful road to recovery.

I'm glad she pulled thru! Now let's pray for a speedy recovery!!!

Thanks for the update, Nancy.

Sending more positive thoughts her way......

Update: I'm afraid my earlier post was overly optimistic. They've discovered what's wrong with Kristin and it's pretty bad.

She's got a cyst the size of an orange in her pancreas. If something isn't done about it, she'll die, and the doctors right now aren't sure whether they should operate or not becuse she has infections.

She still needs prayers.

This is good news ~ I am praying for her!

[SuzeQuze]

Yes, thank you for the update Nancy, good news. I've been worried and praying for the bleeding to stop. I will keep on praying for your friend.

I'm so glad things have taken a turn for the better! Thanks for letting us know. I know that I would be sick from worry (as I'm sure you were) if one of my good friends had been in her position.

And about that last sentence, I really agree.

[GypsySorcerer]

Glad to hear that Kristin is improving. I'll be thinking of her.

I've known lots of people with their gall bladder removed, and it's a pretty harmless procedure. I know she'll pull through with the rest!
