Kristin (gypsyrhiannon) in ICU - needs prayers - Page 6

Update: No real change - I did make a mistake earlier. The cyst is inoperable. They are hoping if they keep it dormant by not giving her any food other than the IV, the pancreas will heal itself. The only operation she would undergo is to remove her gall bladder, which will be done as soon as she's strong enough.

Also, I now have an address for cards. I think it would really touch her if we all sent her one. She has so many people praying for her and concerned about her and I'd love her to see that visibly. It can be a card or a quick note, nothing fancy is required.

Send to:

Kristin Kirkpatrick
c/o Scottsdale Healthcare Hospital
7400 East Osborn
Scottsdale, AZ 85251

Hi Nichole. I've been thinking about you and the way we left things. Seems pretty silly and insignificant now. I'm glad you're there for her.

Yeah, it does. I guess it's one of those stupid things people get upset over.
I just thank God that someone was with her when she got sick, I don't think she would have made it to a hospital had she been alone she was in so much pain.

Thanks for keeping us updated, Nancy - and thanks for the address...I will totally send her a card!

Is she more of a Lindsey or Stevie phile? I've only met her once and I don't remember - that info will help in the witty Lindsey/Stevie related comment that must go into the card

Gosh - I hope she gets well....the prayers will continue.

She loves them both but I guess if it came right down to it, she's a little more into Stevie. Thanks for the card!

I don't know her personally Nancy, but I feel as though I do through your reviews and such. I'll keep her in my prayers...and you also. I know this has been heart wrenching for you. It's terrible to feel so helpless. I'm thankful that she's coming out of the woods. Poor girl has really been through it.

Hi guys,

Another update on Kristin. She has been moved out of ICU into a kind of in-between room for people who are still in very serious condition and need to be monitored closely, but are no longer considered "critical." That's definitely good news! She's talking again, although not much. She's aware enough to ask for morphine when she needs it (although her mom says she hates to ask for it, she'll say "just a little" - she doesn't like to be "doped up").

She still has a fever and the doctors estimate she will not be able to eat real food for AN ENTIRE MONTH more. Of course she's still in a lot of pain, but she is improving.

^Thanks for the update!

Glad to hear she is improving.....slowly, but surely.

Thanks for the update, Nancy. Good to know that she's still getting better and better.

I appreciate you keeping us posted, Nancy. I'm glad Kristin keeps improving.

DrummerDeanna · #87 09-19-2005, 09:06 AM

Thanks for the update, Nancy! I just got a card yesterday! I'll send it today

I've decided to make a list of all the people who are praying for her to present to her. I've been going through the thread and some of you do not put your real names. Could you PM me with them? Not necessarily your first and last, just a first name I can put next to the UserID.

sodascouts · #90 09-19-2005, 11:11 AM

BTW including people on the BN board, my LiveJournal friends, my family and some of my "real life" friends, I have a list of 85 people.
