I Rosemary sorry I haven't had much time to write back to everybody yet I spent one full day and one night at my new facility before ending up in the hospital here at Mayo in Eau Claire Wisconsin with an elevated heart rstre and low blood pressure and acute kidney damage Al though my kidney function has improved since all the fluids they have been giving me but there's still a problem with my gallbladder and my liver so I will most likely be transferred to Mayo tomorrow morning when the storm ends and the roads are cleared straight to saint Mary's Hospital right now it's a waiting game will try to keep everyone posted on how I'm doing
Thanks for caring
Glinda

@glinda Thank you for update and keeping in touch as you can. Keeping you in my thoughts. Take care of you...

Thank you I will try to keep you updated as much as I can I sleep most of the time right now up will try my best

@glinda I am sorry about this setback. I hope you are able to recover rapidly and get back to your rehab center. I know you must be exhausted, being in the hospital does that I think, but when you are up to it please keep us informed. When I have been hospitalized all I want to do is sleep generally.

@glinda - I want you to know that I will be praying because that is what I firmly believe in. When I was ‘down’, my family and friends prayed for me. So I share the same with you.
I am sorry to hear of this setback and complications. You are in a good place with a great medical team to look after your medical needs. So try to let yourself rest so that your body will have every bit of strength it can produce for its current needs. I am sure that responding is difficult for you. I understand.
Stay warm, ok? I hope you get to go to St Mary’s tomorrow.
Rosemary

@glinda - I’ll be thinking about you today. I hope that you can be transported to St Mary’s. I also hope for a comfortable ride.
Praying for peace and healing,
And a hug,
Rosemary

@glinda

I am agreeing with Rosemary's prayers for you and will add my own.

Blessings for wisdom and healing to you and your medical team,

Teresa

@glinda I'm so happy to hear things are improving. Recovering is hard work but you seem to be doing wonderfully, keep it up, and keep us posted on your progress.

@glinda, It is wonderful to hear this update from you. A while ago I said that I hoped you would get transferred to St. Mary's. Well, I take that back! It looks like I was wrong in my wishing. I am happy for you and for the team in Eau Claire that they were able to treat you locally.

I know that you have been, and are very busy. However, I want to share the following Video presentation with you - if you are interested (and anyone else who will be visiting you) - Video Q&A and Behind-the-Scenes: Liver Transplant - It will "be showing the procurement process for a liver transplant, but the process at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, FL, is essentially the same for all organs."

Yes! We are all looking forward to your continuing recovery. Keep on with those slow, steady steps.
Is the snow melting there? Is the sun shining?
