Please send Pixie Dust and your prayers to a Dis'er with cancer

I'm asking on behalf of good freinds and Dis'ers Cold Iron (Jim) and his wife Phyllis (Poohstyx).
Phyllis has let me know that Jim has been diagnosed with Lymphoma and is in the hospital receiving Chemo. Hopefully he will be home soon and then will be back in for more chemo in a few weeks after his blood count recovers. They are hoping that it was found soon enough for a full recovery
These are the sweetest nicest people you could ever hope to meet, please hold them in your prayers................
thank you
Jo

Can you please pray for my co-worker's nephew, Quinn Richard? He was born premature a week ago and only weighs about 1 pound. He's fighting for his life. He's also on some heavy meds because he has a hole in his heart. Thanks so much!
Sue

Sending pixie dusts, prayers and well wishes to Quinn Richard, Jim, Steve, Cathy, and other dis'ers who is in need. May God gives you strength to fight your illness and pain. I pray for a speedy and full recovery for all.

SunFloridaDisney, so glad to hear good news from you.

I'm so glad this thread is here, this is the 1st time I ever came and read it. I'll say an extra prayer on Christmas Day for all the people who need prayers on the DIS! May everyone have a little big of Merry in the Christmas this season.

Please continue your prayers for Jim (coldiron) and Phyllis ( Poohstyx). I recieved this email from her today...as you can see, it is still a battle...

"Greetings! Lots of things have happened since the last update. On 11/28, Jim saw the Dr to get a shot to up the white cell count. Things were fine. The next day I took him back for another shot. They could not give him the shot because he had a temp. They had him wait for a little while – they checked his temp often. The Dr had him put in a “holding area” to see if the temp would break. The temp kept going higher, so the Dr decided to admit him to the hospital. Well, the temp kept going up and Jim started to have severe chills. His temp reached 103 – then 105 – then 107!! Wow – things really got exciting! The nurses were jumping thru hoops! Me, too! They put ice packs under each arm and on the groin area. He started to hallucinate! He didn’t know who I was – he didn’t even know who or where he was. I had a time trying to keep him from getting up and leaving. Finally, a room was available in the hospital. So, off we went to the room – by this time the temp had come down a bit and he was (almost) normal again. With meds and IV’s he was much better. The problem turned out to be a Staph Infection from the Meda-port. He was put on powerful Anti-biotics. He was in the hospital for 10 days for this! When he came home, he had Home Health nurses come by twice a day to give him anti-biotics by IV. The Meda-port was taken out before he left the hospital and a PICC line was put in. The home nurses came by for 3 days, then I took over and “played” nurse!! They make sure that the care-giver (me, by that time) knows just how to do everything. It is a completely needle-less system. The “wiring” only goes together one way. You can’t make a mistake. Jim had watched how they did it at the Hospital for weeks and could guide me as needed.
Jim had a Doctors appt yesterday. He is doing great – he’s eating well and walking around some. We went out to eat twice today. Now that the infection has cleared up, he can do whatever he wants. The Dr has set up another round of Chemo for 5 days – starting Dec 27th. It’s great that he’ll be home for Christmas.

I didn’t have much chance to update his condition when he was in the hospital. I was at the hospital most of the time. "

MJ, thanks for posting this info. Jim & I really appreciate it. Thanks to everyone for their Prayers and good thoughts. He finished the last of the home IV of Antibiotic tonight. Hopefully, he won't have anything else until Dec. 27. Maybe he will have a nice, peaceful & pain free few days to enjoy the holidays.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Hoping Jim is feeling better, Phyllis, my best for him and you both.

 

[Poohstyx]

Hi Dan! Thanks for thinking of us. Jim is back in the hospital now for another round of Chemo. He will only be in for 5 days this time. He is doing really good. He is eating good and looks good. He is gaining some of the weight back that he had lost.

Phyllis

....Drs. had to remove one kidney because it wasn't functioning - still in an induced coma. And now, some really disturbing news - rumor has it that they found Ecstacy in the car....hope that is NOT true...
