| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Thank you Arashi, Jodee and Zoe. Donna, it is most pleasant to see you here again. I do hope Ranger and all your family are well. I will relay the good wishes of everyone to Evie.

Evie went into surgery a few minutes ago. The surgery was supposed to take place tomorrow morning; however there was some mixup and so she is having it now. The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned. Jim and I are waiting here at the "mall" part of the hospital, until Evie is out of surgery. I have Evie's laptop which is a Godsend at the moment! If not for the opportunity to come on here and post a bit I think I would be going frantic with worry over the surgery not going well! I wish I could be more like Jim, who is drinking a coffee and reading the paper and doesn't seem concerned at all. Or perhaps he's simply very good at hiding his concern!
If God forbid there are complications with Evie's surgery, Jim and I will be remaining in the city for a few more days, and will likely not be online much. If however things go as well as we hope, we will have her home by Tuesday at the latest. We are praying for the latter, obviously!

Hang in there, Kathy. Know that there are prayers going out from all over. Take care, and I look forward to the next report. |

Thank you for the prayers Hodge, it is very much appreciated. Evie is out of surgery, it didn't go quite as well as they hoped; she bled too much and needed to receive some donor blood, which is always a concern. However, she is stable now, and in the recovery room, the surgery being a success in spite of that complication. We are still waiting to go in to see her, so I am back online once again. Thank heavens for modern technology to keep my worried mind occupied! |

I'm glad it's considered stable! I was hoping for an update. I hope you get to see her soon! Take care of yourself and Jim too. This is very stressful (lol as if you don't know that by now!) When Evie's awake.. remind her about the pancakes from bec.. she will get it once she isn't groggy! ;)
Hoping for a speedy recovery and your all in my thoughts,

I remember what it's like to wait outside of the surgery recovery room for my name to be called for my child. My oldest had surgery when she was 13 months old. Keeping your mind occupied is a big help.
Sorry that the surgery didn't go as well as planned, but glad to hear that Evie's stable. Give her a hug from me.
Y'all are in my thoughts.
