    Default Update on Kristi2978

    I am posting this with Kristi's permission.

    She did have her successful sleeve (after all the rigamorole to get it approved for her and the appeals going through). However, because of other things going on, she has not been able to post for a while. I email with her almost daily.

    She has been in ICU more than out the past few months.

    This morning I received an update from her, and am asking those of you who know her (or even those who don't) to keep a positive thought for her or prayers, or however you are comfortable doing, for her to get through the next few days safely.

    She was ambulanced to the U of Minnesota last night. Her spine is bad. Infection and bones deteriorating. Her parents are coming up this morning but she's on NPO because she's being readied for surgery. She is very scared.

    Kristi is a fighter. Thanks for being a supportive community.

    Sending prayers. I have followed her story since coming here last summer and was amazed at her tenacity in fighting for what she felt was right for her body and for her health. It's that fighting spirit that, with our prayers, will hopefully lift her spirits and get her back to a better spot in life. I appreciate seeing this update, albeit I wish it were better.

    Hoping all the best for Kristi. Her story is so scarily similar to mine and my daughter's. We both got sick one month after surgery just like her. I had 5 hospitalizations including time in ICU, but ultimately got better. My daughter survived, but barely. This surgery, while most of the time amazing, can be devastating for others. I suppose like any other surgery, but I'm see too many people have permanent life shattering or ending consequences. It's scary. We've had a few posters who were here every single day before their surgery, and then gone. It makes me sad wondering if they met the same fate.

    Come on, Kristi, keep fighting the good fight. You can beat this!

    Sending prayers. Can you tell us what happened? When was she Sleeved? Sounds like from your post she had some serious health issues before the Sleeve? Did the Sleeve make things worse? I missed her other post. Sorry.

    Annie,
    Thank you for the update. I’ve been away from the forum a little bit. But you all were on my mind especially Kristi. I’m praying for her.

    Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers, which I will pass along to Kristi. I am hopeful to hear from her today, or from her dad. A s to what happened. Her sleeve was successful, and she is losing . She was aware, going in to the surgery, that her lupus might flare up from the surgical stress; it is also my impression that she may have picked up the pneumonia in the hospital, but she had been for several months prior, as you know from her posts, having an infection in her feet. Having limited mobility, i.e., not being able to walk, makes circulation an issue for her.

    Since her surgery, she has been able to be at work some, although the past 2 months she's been between home and the hospital.

    Yesterday, looking at the MRI films of her neck area, the bulge caused by the infection is very visible. They are way more equipped to deal with the multiple issues at U of Minn., so good that she was being sent.

    I will update when I hear from her or her family. She is such a sweetheart. Her job (With Disabled Veterans of America) is secure, so that's one less piece she has to worry about.

    I did not hear from Kristi or her dad as of this evening (Sunday here).
    I will pass along all your generous concerns and affection when I do, and update you all.

    I am praying that no news is good news and that they are just working all the medical stuff out.
