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.

Still lookin' good! Transferred to the Progress Care Unit


Janet had her PICC line taken out yesterday (the line used for IV medications and lab draws) - Yea!  More tubes out!  Even though they wrote the transfer order yesterday, Janet had to wait until six this morning before a room finally came available in the PCU.  She's all settled in her new room now though and will hopefully be able to get some better sleep tonight away from the chaos of the ICU.  The doctors are looking to discharge Janet on Sunday.  She is SOOOO ready to be done with the whole hospital scene.  That is always a good sign that the patient is recovering!  She will follow up with the hand specialist after she discharges.  Keep praying for those fingers!
