Dargo's little girl needs our prayers

just texted Brent asking for any kind of update that I could pass on since
everyone was asking about news.
He just sent back that it was a really bad night last night and a bad day today

Words cannot express how bad we all feel for Mel, Brent and the family . Prayer is our one great strength . Let us all pray together for this family .
 
Thanks again to all the great people here who have expressed their unsolicited compassion and prayers. I hope we don't have anymore nights like last night and most of today. Rather than being downgraded and talking about a release date, we only had a parade of physicians and surgeons coming in and ordering more tests. Of course, you know all of the examinations and tests hurt her and distressed her more.

We have changed medications, well, the physicians have changed several medications and (fingers crossed), I think we are starting to turn the ship from rougher seas more towards calmer waters. Pics now would not be appropriate. I'm sure all will understand. Hopefully tomorrow will mark the official turning point. Biopsies ought to be in tomorrow or the next too.

Thanks again. Sorry, but I'm whipped.
 
well good, glad to hear the dr.s finally did something and things are finally turning for the better. Hopefully all of you can get some much needed sleep now.
Thanks for the update Brent

What Judy said.
Thanks Judy and you too Brent for taking the time to keep us up to date.
 
Not much to say other then I,m hoping things get much better really soon for your daughter & get some rest yourself . I cant even imagine what your special child , you & your family have been going through , but the best thoughts & prayers to you all .
 
Thanks for taking the time for the update....i am so sorry Mel has had to endure such a bad night and day she for sure as been through enough without that.

Praying last night went smoother and these new meds are the starting point for the healing process,my son is the the same age bracket as Mel and sends his Love and best wishes...he says he is looking out for her with strong positive thoughts due to the fact his generation sticks together.

Try and stay calm Mel needs you strong....Best wishes.
 
Brent, I think I speak for all of us, but this is the first thread I view in the morning, the last I view at night and the one I visit 10+ times a day looking for updates. Don't worry about posting pictures, there is no need to take them if they upset her. But when this is over a photo of her smiling might be nice, until then I think we can all hold off on seeing her. Please take care of yourself, take naps and make sure your wife also gets some sleep. Stay strong for Mel and know that we are all here thinking and praying for your family. Lets all hope the changes in the medications relieve the swelling and reduce her pain.

Could not have said it better. It is the first and the last and the one in all of the betweens I look for. Brent we are here praying, you just take care of your family. Don't be worrying about us.
 
Brent I have not logged on much lately and just read this entire thread. My heart goes out to Melanie and your entire family. I'm praying!
 
Melensdad's post 100%. Give Mel our love. And don't wear yourself down so bad you can't function. It;s real easy to do.
 
Thanks again all. Apparently I kept falling asleep in my chair and snoring so I've been banished to the hotel for a few hours. Unfortunately, my little Melanie isn't feeling any better and is still in considerable pain. I think I finally finished my rightk knee off but am having trouble getting any surgery before Jan 1st. After that, I get to pay for the entire surgery again due to my high medical deductible. Anyone have any pull with an orthopaedic surgeon here in the Indy area?

Oh well, Melanie is far, far more important. That huge deductible is just going to get me I suppose. I wish I had better news to report. Her surgeon won't be seeing her again until tomorrow morning.
 
Sleep if you can it will help but switching off i understand will not be easy...thanks for the update Prayers and positive thoughts ongoing.

OK now stay off the computer, draw the drapes, turn off the TV and get some sleep. You obviously need it.

If they changed her meds it may take a day for them to show signs of working. Lets give them some time and hopefully when you wake up from your nap and get back to the hospital maybe there will be some glimmer of improvement and hopefully a start to the reduction in her pain.

Okay, I was going to argue a bit (hey, it's in my DNA), but I think you're right. I kept tossing and turning so I thought I'd go back to the hospital. My overload of coffee had my mouth tasting nasty so I brushed my teeth and started to leave. Damn if I didn't have the nastiest taste in my mouth. I went back to check out what brand toothpaste was so I wouldn't buy it again, and discovered that I just brushed my teeth with my youngest daughter's zit cream! :unsure: That stuff tastes like crap!!

In all the stress, I thought I'd tell that small bit of humor. I don't want to take anything to make me sleep since Mel wants to watch football with me tonight, but I do think I'm going to lay down again...
 
Well tonight's game will be easier to watch than the Giants/Packers was yesterday. Tell her she has a lot of folks pulling for her.

Have some good rest and beware of strange tasting toothpastes.:biggrin:
I've been where you are Brent. Maybe all of us here have at one time.
You cannot function when someone you love with all your might isn't well.
Hang tough.. and kiss Melanie on the cheek for all of us.
