Request for my wife Jacqui
37 replies
PhinsRockluxury_boxOPMy Dear Friends and Loved ones,
for those of you who may be surprised by this, Tuesday night I took Jacqui to the ER at Wellington Regional Hospital with severe pain and vomiting. She spent 2-1/2 days going through many tests, x-rays, MRI's, Ultrasound, you name it. Finally today at 1pm they operated on her, it was a serious operation, which her surgeon warned me before hand she might not have made it through, he felt there was a chance she could die from what they had to do and her condition.
Her operation took over 4 hours. Jacqui is very, very sick. An infected gall stone just smaller than a tennis ball ate it's way through her gall bladder and into her stomach, and was blocking the exit. They removed it and 2/3 of her gall bladder but there is still a great deal of infection and they couldn't even take all the gall bladder because it has grown attached to her liver and if they took out that part of the gall bladder she could lose her liver.
She is in serious condition and will likely be in the hospital for two or more weeks with another operation possibly required in a week or so. Her stomach lining is so infected they fear it could leak and say that could kill her if it happens. I am sorry to be so blunt and graphic but feel it is only fair to give you all the whole truth.
I just left her because she needs to sleep, I can hardly stop crying and was so upset as soon as I got to the parking lot threw up all over the parking garage at the hospital.
I ask you all for your prayers and Jacqui has asked that nobody visit or call her for a couple days, she will let me know when it is OK for people to visit or call. She has her cell with her but is going to keep it turned off for a couple days.
I will post more updates when I know more info worth passing on. This is the biggest challenge of Jacui's life, the surgeon said he has removed over 2,000 gall bladders and never seen anything like this before.
We are putting our faith in God and trusting Him to get her and us through this. Our daughter Lacey doesn't show her feelings well, but I know she is very upset, as am I. So please also ask God to help Lacey and me keep it together through this as well.
Thank you and God bless you all,

This is the only thing I’ve learned: There’s only us. There’s no them. Despots and authoritarians need to make a “them” to have a straw man whom you are against. If you need to make an enemy of “them,” you’ve lost the spirit of us. - Ken Burns of PBS

PhinsRockluxury_boxThank you so much everyone for your loving thoughts and prayers. here is an update: The surgery took 5 hours, they removed 2/3 of her Gall Bladder, a gall stone that was infected and the size of a tennis ball. It ate its way through her gall bladder and through the wall of her stomach, then lodged at the outlet of her tummy. She almost died in surgery, but made it. She is getting stronger every day, still in much pain, has tubes coming out of her and going into her everywhere. 3 tubes are just for removing bile and infection puss.
The bile duct of what's left of her Gall Bladder is leaking bile, there is a tube and bulb drawing it out with vacuum, but if that doesn't heal in the next 30 days, she will have to have more surgery, this time at Miami University by a specialist surgeon. She will be in the hospital 2 more weeks, then maybe sent home to recover more, they don't want to go back in to repair the bile duct leak until her body has had at LEAST a month to heal from the first, very extensive surgery.
We do not foresee any more complications, but need to pray this leak is repaired either naturally or by God. Another surgery would really be bad and would mean she would be off work for almost three months, or more. we are in financial difficulty already, and now with losing her income, and all the copay's for the hospital, surgeons, et al, things are going to be tough around here.
I have been a basket case deep inside, this has been more emotionally draining than anything I've ever been through in my life. But I must remain strong for Jacqui and our daughter Lacey, and at my new job which I just started two weeks ago yesterday. It is a commission job so things are going to be very tough, I fully expect to lose this house, but figure we can stall foreclosure for 6 months with the right lawyer.
Again, THANK YOU ALL, for your kind words and for your prayers. You are all an awesome family, which is what I so dearly love most about this site. god bless and keep you all.

Thanks for the update. The situation is grave but manageable. Stay concentrated on yours and your family's health and the rest will work itself out around you. Let your friends, family, bosses, even the bank work with you and keep them informed as you are able.
We will continue to walk with you in prayer.
