This is simply a vent on my part as Evie is ill once more and I am ever so frustrated about it today. She had her appendix out last week. Usually an appendectomy is a simple procedure. With Evie though, it seems no procedure is simple. She had a very bad reaction to the anaestetic, and now they tell us she has an infection, likely due to her having a compromised immune system (from the cancer treatments). She has been quite ill and vomiting frequently though she is thankfully in good spirits.

What frustrates me is this; it is not her PTSD making her ill! PTSD wise, she has been doing very well. We are so proud of her. She has made huge accomplishments in the past year. She has every reason to hope for a bright future. However she continues to become ill! I see so much promise in her for her life, yet there is one physical illness after another and I simply am so sorry for her. It frustrates me to no end to see her continually suffering. I realize this sounds quite negative however I cannot count the number of times she has been to hospital in the last year and I simply wish it could all be over for her. I am frustrated and want her to be well.

Oh, Gee, Kathy! You have been through enough your whole family has been through enough this past year! I sure wish you could catch a break! Gentle Hugs from me and I am sure from many of us all over the whole world to you and the whole family!

Vent away, Kathy! Sometimes it's the only thing we can do about a sitution.

Sending hugs to you, Evie and everyone else there.

Thank you both. I am feeling rather upset about it all and as a result I am going to take a couple of days' break.

Kathy, my heart goes out to you and your family. Hope things get better soon!

Thoughts and prayers with all of you especially right now - Evie, I understand being sick all the time...feel better soon. =)

I am so sorry to hear this but she is tough and with her family support she will get though this. Please take good care of yourselves and please give Evie a GENTLE hug for me if she`ll accept it. I hope she will. Let he know she is in my thoughts as you all are.

Take Good care of yourselves.....all of you!

Hi Kathy

Damn these rollercoaster rides at times. I'm sorry to hear about Evie. Hope she is better soon.

I understand your frustration. I am feeling the same way about hubby & his other health issues at the moment also. I think it's the extra pressure of more appts, new docs etc. It is unsettling for our loved ones & hard for us to watch & try not to show how we are feeling about things.

& know you are in my thoughts

Oh I am sorry to hear all of this. I'm sorry for both of you. It seems some people get all the rotten luck with illnesses and complications. I had noticed Evie hadn't posted as much, please pass on my get well soon wishes. Pleasing to hear though that she is doing so well with the PTSD aspect.

Perhaps it's all that freezing cold Canadian weather? Perhaps a trip to sunny Melbourne is in order?

I'm sorry to hear this!

Thinking of you, Evie, and the rest of the family also... and obviously, sending Evie well wishes.... I hope she gets better soon.
