Cedars Update
Val and I are in a Telemetry room at Cedars for the night. Nancy and Julie were here earlier and left to a near by hotel at 11:00. When we got to the room there was no cot to be found. We started handing out some great tasting cookies and the nurse remembered where one was, interesting what food can do… We checked into the ER at 3:30 and got to the room at 10:45. She is very confused and it’s sooo hard to see her this way. They asked her what Month and Year it is and she could not answer. I wanted to help her so bad but there was nothing I could do! They ran all kinds of test on her and at one point they were pulling blood from each arm at the same time. They believe there’s an infection going on probably in her Liver by the stents. Her WBC count is 27 which is very high. We hope to have the stent Dr. change the stents tomorrow and find the cause of the infection. Also she has been very constipated but just started to go this morning. They believe this could be another source of her confusion. We are relieved that she is finally going. She is very drained and we hope the IV fluids will help. She only had a couple bits of food today.
We just came back from an Ultra Sound and the Tech said there is fluid in there?? At Scripps yesterday they did not find any. I will wait to get the finale review form the Dr in the morning. The Dr. just stated that they want to do a CT on the Chest but it’s not a Stat order so we can get some sleep now that it’s after 2:00.
Please Pray for the following.
-Val’s Medical team can find the source of the infection
-She continues her bowel movements
-Val’s confusion clears and she is back to normal
-Her liver is working normal and this is not the beginning signs of Liver failure
-She can get home to her 3 Boys ASAP
-The boy’s are not to worried about Mom that it effects there attitude and or behavior
-Tyler dose not say “Daddy Do, Daddy Do” to any of the team helping
-The team taking care of the Boy’s including the key players Richard and Dawn have strength and are up to the task.
Words can’t explain how awesome all the help is. She is the most beautiful giving person there is and it’s incredible to see the love and support you all give. THANKS.
Val will be home soon!!

Chris-
Thank you for keeping us up to date. It must be so very hard to see Val going through all this.
I pray for you and the medical team working with Val to uncover the source of her confusion and help to clear her mind. I haven't been able to sleep much tonight and you are all in my prayers.
Tomorrow I will get in touch with Dawn to see if I can help in any way. Please give Val a kiss and let her know how much we all love her. Remember Chris how much you're loved as well.
Val loves you so very much!!!

Chris,
Thanks for the update. We are all praying for Valerie and for you. You are such a loving husband and I am certain that she is relieved to have you by her side.

Thank you so much for the update. I agree so much with what the others have said.You are all an amazing testimony of God's love and strength. Thanks for the specific requests. Psalm 142 begins, “I cry out loudly to God, loudly I plead for mercy. I spill out all my complaints before him, and spell out my troubles in detail…”
With love and continued prayers,
Ginny
Chis, I agree it is hard to see her like this. Hopefully the Dr's can do something today to make her more comfortable. We are here to help you guys so let me know what we can do. We love you and continue to pray for all of you. Kelli
