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.

Home after hand surgery


Dear Janet made it successfully through her 2 1/2 hour outpatient hand surgery at OHSU.  She went home after the procedure this evening and was sound asleep at about 9 tonight.  Please just continue to keep her in your prayers.  Pray for her pain control especially these first few days.  Janet doesn't do well with pain medication; it makes her feel really sick and loopy.  The surgeon took the tips of three fingers to her first knuckle (her pinky, ring, and middle fingers on her left hand) as well as a little bit from her pointer finger.  We continue to lift her up in prayer as she navigates all this physically, emotionally, and mentally.  Her family will be surrounding her over Christmas, so we will step back a bit in helping out just the next week and half or so.  Starting in January, we will be providing meals.  I have many of you on the calendar.  Let me know if you want to add your name to the list.  I hope you all enjoy your families this Christmas.
