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.

Totally herself...


Janet is completely back to her normal sweet and funny self.  It's fabulous to see and hear.  It looks like she will be moved today to PCU (the progressive care unit) once they get a room opening for her.  That will be nice for everyone since there won't be all the restrictions that are required in the ICU. 

The most pressing issue at this point is Janet's hand.  The vascular surgeon is going to wait until Thursday before they decide if they need to surgically remove some parts of her fingers.  At this point, it looks like Janet is in danger of losing the tips of several of her fingers on her left hand.  Although we are all so relieved that Janet is alive and just herself, this is still a huge thing.  So please pray for healing in those fingers, and for Janet personally as she copes with the stress in all this...

And oh, by the way, her white blood cell count dropped today for the first time since her admit.  Just thought I better mention that!
