Brief Shadowsister update

DJ continues to be a guest of the hospital in Arcadia.  They removed the intrathecal morphine pump last week.  The spot where the lines went into her spine continue to leak spinal fluid, so they are going to do a blood patch on Monday.  Here's hoping it helps.

They have not yet found a  way to handle her pain that she gets from the extreme spasms she experiences, and she is relying on the oral morphine to take the edge off.

The movers come Monday morning for her household goods.  As soon as she is able to travel they will airlift her from CA to PA.  

DJ continues to be her upbeat self, constantly assuring me that she will beat this once again and she will be getting better.  She asked me tonight to let everyone know that she prays for all of you daily and misses being here. She wanted me to give her an update on everyone and truly wants to know how you are doing.

I wish I had better news to share- one of these days it will be!

Tell her I'm sending her healing hugs through the winds and strength that she can beat this one down too so she can make her was to Pa.

Thanks Laura, it is so nice to come on here and have news of DJ, even though I do wish she was feeling better and headed to PA.

Give her my love and tell her she is always in my thoughts and prayers, and as always, she is an inspiration to all of us.

This wonderful lady has been through too much. I hope that the leaking spinal fluid doesn't mean that she has that awful headache to go along with the other pain she is suffering.

Please give her my love Lulu and thank you for the updates.

Well, I believe that if DJ says she'll beat this, then she'll beat this.  She has such a strong will and it has gotten her this far.  Please let her know that the prayers she is sending our way are coming backto her 100-fold.  We love DJ and can't wait for her doctors to find a workable pain management treatment so she can move back East.  

Love to DJ and you too Lu for keeping us coonected.
