Welcome to Janet's blog - a place to stay updated on her status. Early Sunday morning on Sept. 30th, Janet had surgery to remove a kidney stone. A stent was placed, and the surgery was successful. However, the kidney stone had already caused a serious infection in Janet's body. Hours after the surgery, she went into septic shock and acute respiratory distress.

In the process of organizing help...


Thank you to all of you who responded and are so willing to help out Janet while she is continuing to recuperate! We are in the process of putting together a schedule of volunteers for things like errands, meals, cleaning, shopping, etc. (It isn't too late to add your name to the list! You can contact us at praying4janet@gmail.com.) Anyway, expect an email of a tentative schedule by Thursday, October 25th. You can let us know if it will work for you; it will probably be something like once every other week.

Janet is continuing to do well at home!  She went to her follow up appointment with her urologist last week and found out that the procedure to remove the stent in her kidney is a straight-forward outpatient procedure.  Also, she won't have to have this procedure done for a couple months.  This is good news since Janet will have some good time to regain her strength.  Please continue to pray for her recovery.  She has been so amazingly upbeat and grateful and positive through all of this.  I just know that sometimes trying to find a new normal over the long haul can be a daunting process... physically and emotionally.  Please remember to pray for her spirit along with everything else. 

Blessings!
