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.

She's doing well!


Janet is continuing on a good course.  She is losing her tubes and wires and beginning to reclaim her body back to herself.  Oh boy, has it been a long ten days for the Dickens!  It looks like she will be transferred out of ICU today as soon as a regular room becomes available.  They are continuing to just watch her and her lab work as her body mends itself; everything looks pretty stable at this point.  No invasive procedures look like they are needed right now.  If all continues to go well, Janet could be discharged as soon as Sunday or Monday.  From there, it's just going to take time for her to regain her strength and stamina and continue her full recovery.  Janet's left hand and fingers are continuing to look better; the doctors are still cautiously watching to see how that goes.
