Sheri’s mom here: I heard from Sheri’s husband, Kenn, late last night. He told me was out and in recovery after a 10+ hour surgery. She was doing well and had no pain.
I just got off the phone with Sheri herself. She sounded upbeat and happy, no current pain. She’s gotten up twice with minimal hunching (abdominal incisions), Tomorrow she will have some PT and hopefully go home if everything is still going so well.
Sheri’s mom here… I will post any updates I receive from Sheri’s husband, Kenn. This is a long surgery, 10-12 hours.
It’s been quite the week.
On Tuesday, I went in for a PET scan to try to discover what these speech difficulties are coming from.
On Thursday, I ended up in the ER. My neurological issues had gotten worse and we don’t know why. At the ER, they took several blood tests, all negative except for my lingering anemia. The EKGs came back normal as did the CT scan.
But, my PET scan came back clear…hurrah! Basically I just need to hang in there until the 23rd to get my MRI.
Monday is my surgery, 10-12 hours long, and I’m trying to relax and not worry until then. My husband, Kenn, will be there alone. My mom is arriving late Wednesday for two weeks.
Thank you all for your support! All the recent donations are much appreciated.
First of all we want to thank everyone for their support during this crazy time. Thank you for supporting us during the first gofundme. We are immensely grateful to all of you who have prayed, donated or helped us in any way.
The neurologist thinks my speech difficulties are from stress. So, I need to try to reduce that. She told me to begin taking magnesium and Vitamin B2 because my levels are low. My iron levels are also low so I will begin taking an iron supplement in the morning
I’ve been feeling beat down, and overwhelmed at all the changes I need to make to try to prevent this pre-diabetes from becoming full blown diabetes. In addition, I need to lower my stress, solve my insomnia and migraine issues in order to maybe be able to resolve my speech difficulties. And I have to see a speech therapist. It’s a lot. Please say some extra prayers for me. Thanks!!
The next surgery is just around the corner, on September 16. I will be out of work for two weeks, minimum. My short-term disability won’t kick in until the second week. So, we are left with me being out of work, and pay, for essentially half a month.
Please donate if you can (even a few dollars helps) and share our fundraiser as it is the only way that we can see to cover our expenses. Thank you!!
