change of plan on June 23, 2009

This is Melodee. I am updating for Lenette. She was up in the night...so much pain and no rest. She was nauseous all night and unable to keep anything down. We called Dr. Adrian early this morning and he sent her to the hospital. She is so disappointed that she couldn't make it to Indy for her appointment,but she was very ready to be at Ball where she is taken care of and monitored. She had a procedure in which it was discovered that she had developed varicose veins in her esophagus. These had ruptured and were bleeding. The doctor repaired this with bands. Because of this procedure she has been admitted to ICU. She said she wanted to experience the new "South Tower" so this was the ticket!! She is to be transferred to oncology tomorrow.
David has been here all day which is so comforting for Lenette and Cody will be with her tonight. Truly that is her best medicine!

We will follow up on the transplant appointment when she is able to travel. God has a plan and she is trusting in that promise.

I think the best thing for Len right now is rest. If you could just trust for now and pray...that will be the greatest gift you can give her at this time. Feel free to check the blog for updates.

Lenette, Melodee, David & Cody,
There is no accurate measurement for the disappointmment you all must feel right now. Let's hope that last night's setback is only that...just not quite the right time, yet! I will continue to send all of the positive energy & thoughts I can your way....I just hope it wasn't the meatloaf..

Lenette and boys,
No words to describe the disappointment we are all feeling...you mostly. Don't worry about what we missed yesterday, just put all your energy in becoming stronger today. God does have a plan and we must live it daily. Thoughts and prayers are with you!
love,
Barb
