Hey all,
  This is Tom. Today is day 3 for recovery. Yesterday Jan had a blood transfusion due to low blood counts. During surgery they cut an artery. Jan is still in alot of pain. She states it hurts just to open her eyes. I got her up and walk around her bed . Then PT came in and had her walk to the hall . She still not eating. She had 1 bowl of jello yesterday. They stopped the fetenal today. only oral pain meds. When she starts coming around I'm sure she will post. I know this forum has really helped. her get thru this. UVA has been a great facility . Yesterday ASked the nurse if she could move to the bed next to the window, since her roommate was DC. The nurse said I can do better than that. They had a private room available and moved her into that room. What a blessing. Please keep praying for Jan. Thanks

We will continue to pray for her recovery.  Thanks for the update.

Tom-

Thanks so much for the update. I hate to hear that she is still in a lot of pain and not eating. I figured she would be up and running a marathon by now (kidding). UVA is a great place. I had my translab there on 5/24 and the staff was awesome!

Tell her we are all thinking of her and sending prayers up

Thank you for taking the time to post these updates on Jan.  They are much appreciated.

Prayers will continue that the pain subsides, she can begin eating and her recovery will begin in earnest.  Prayers for strength for you, too.

Just came on to see how she is doing so sorry about the blood transfusion I hope everything is okay? ... With my surgery they did something to the Mastoid bone and I loss blood but not enough for a transfusion ... Thank goodness she is in a private room and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Thoughts and prayers are with all of you and hoping she will be able to be on the computer soon.

Best Wishes,

[LizAN]

Jan has been on my mind all day.  Good wishes for a quick turnaround and a speedy recovery.  Many prayers going up.
