You friends are all so wonderful. Please keep Kelly in your prayers. She took a turn for the worse....came down with a bug they are testing for pneumonia and rejection of lungs.. if you are interested, her blog is Kelly'stransplant@pressbook.com. if that is not right, I will correct it. It is amazing what they can do, but it is terrifying at the moment. This happened overnight and they have sedated her to nearly a coma. Oh, Kathy.....yes, she is Kelly. Merriest of Christmases and Happiest of Hannukahs. I love you guys. Sally
I checked her blog, and it is touch and go still and she is on ECMO, which is similar to cardiopulmonary bypass, but for longer treatment. She is making gradual improvement, but not breathing on her own or even using her new lungs yet. So, we need to keep sending positive vibes her way... Wouldn't it be nice for her to turn a corner before Christmas?

Please keep Kelly in your prayers. She has been on ECMO for a couple of weeks, her lungs are not working, there is air around her heart, and they have her heavily sedated on propofol. We are having another family/doctor conference call at 2:30 to make some decisions as to her direction. God Bless Kelly and get her new lungs going!! Happy New Year to my JPouch friends. Love you guys, Sally
Dear Sally,

I'm crying too. I felt I knew Kelly from reading her blog and from all the posts others contributed to update it.

Her smile is so warm I can tell what a fighter she is. I agree that she is not finished and admire her family and friends for keeping her spirit alive.

I had a very ill child once and he is healthy now. We had to watch him like a hawk and it was the worse time in my life. Our children are precious and we are lucky and better for having them in our lives. I can't pretend to know how you are taking all of this, other than it is the worse hurt I can imagine one to ever have.

I requested prayers for her on my facebook page, without mentioning her name, and people were praying for her everywhere.

Take it as easy and be as kind to yourself as you can. You did everything you could and she knew that.

Paulette
