Asking for pixie dust, prayers, or happy jig...UPDATE 9/19 Final news

[mjtm610]

Hang in there! There are always "hiccups" along the way. Remember this is a long race and it takes time to get better. Take it day by day and remember how many people are thinking and praying for you! Prayers are more powerful than anything that might happen! And of course LOTS of pixie dust!

 

[DisneyCrazyX5]

sending many prayers and pixies and I think a Disney trip helps everything

Sending more prayers and pixie dust. Feel free to vent here, we are all here to listen.

Sending lots and lots of good thoughts your way!!

My dad is both diabetic and on dialysis and just recently has been through the terrible swelling too, so I can understand a little just how bad you are feeling. Apparently dads swelling is to do with his liver- this week he was diagnosed with a fatty liver and cirrhosis and this can contribute to a fluid build up.

I truly hope that your levels get back under control and that this is just a badly timed glitch for you.

Sending good thoughts, I really hope this all clears up for you soon.

Whenever you are cleared to do so I think you deserve a nice long vacation.

Hey Melissa, I hope you are maybe feeling a little bit better today ? I was just enjoying your amazing drawing, lucky I clicked on your link, I remember when I first saw it and it's so so very brilliant still !

I agree you should when you can have yourself a nice long Disney vacation ! A cruise perhaps? I've never cruised but it does sound lovely!

Another DISer sending you positive thoughts and pixie dust.

The road we each travel have peaks and valleys any many twists and turns - just like any good Disney Roller Coaster ride.

Here's hoping that the road turns to a calmer part of the story.

It's a great day to be alive!!!

Hi Melissa,

Hoping you're feeling a bit better today. I'm sending you more positive thoughts & pixie dust from out West (and we have some pretty strong pixie dust out here).

 

[Disney Anna]

You are doing well. Stay strong. The road is long. Pixie dust wishes to you.

I just wanted to say thank you again for everyone's support. It has truly meant a lot.

This past week has been a whirl wind. I was admitted to the hospital Wednesday night. Thursday morning I had a temporary catheter placed in my neck to start dialysis that afternoon. Friday I had a "permanent" catheter placed in my stomach for home dialysis. I was released from the hospital on Saturday.

Sick and exhausted I started dialysis and training for home dialysis this past Monday. This will last for the next 3 weeks.

The nightmare I was hoping wouldn't happen yet, came very quickly. I really haven't had a chance to catch my breathe. I am so exhausted and all I do is sleep. I know this will get better as the surgery site heals and the dialysis does what is it suppose to do.

Thank you so much for your support. It has been very helpful and it will help me as I begin the next and new chapter in my life.

Melissa -- I know this isn't the news you wanted. To take the glass half full side I have found that once the doctors knew what was wrong with me we could move forward. I hope that know that you know you will be able to stop some of the tests and minimize some of the stress of the unknown.

Please know you have many of us who are supporting you, who are sending you good thoughts and pixie dust, and offering prayers. We are hear to support you if you need to vent and because we are not on the "front lines" we are not judgmental.

Stay strong. Hold you head high - it will help you to breathe. And set a goal. I always like to have a Disney related goal to look forward to.

Carol
It's a great day to be alive!!!

Melissa, I am sorry for the turn of events. I am hoping you start feeling better soon. I will be keeping you in my prayers.

Melissa,
I am so sorry to hear of this. We were out of town back when you first started posting this so I missed it.

You probably don't remember, but I met you at the VA GKTW meet, which you worked so hard on, and you were so very kind to my DD and me.

I live near you and would be happy to help you in any way I can. Please PM me if there is anything I can do.

I am sending prayers and pixie dust for you and your DH.

 

[Cherinva]

Melissa, my prayers are with you.

Keeping you in my prayers Melissa
