Some News

Hi, I'm "crevan"'s besfriend. She probably would want me to let you guys know what's been going on since her last post.

Well yesterday she wasn't feeling very well and I could tell by talking to her on the phone that something was seriously up with her and mentioned it, when she told me she went without her medication for 2 days then couldn't handle it so went back on but wasn't feeling much better, a little but not what she expected. I knew something was up, so I drove the 2hrs here to Toronto, cause if you don't know "crevan" she would do that for any one of her friends so I got my ass in gear to make sure my pal was okay.

By time I reached her place there was no answer at her door or cellphone. I call up her....whatever is is this day bf/roomate/baby daddy. He was frantic and telling me that she fainted at her lawyers and 9-1-1 had been called. He told me which hospital and I rushed over.

When I arrived she was fighting intubation even though she was almost as blue as her bedroom walls, silly girl, but she has told me about the pain of extubation in the past so i can kind of see why she was "fighting" it. While she couldn't really fight them with being all Oxogyne diprived and weak, she was able to induce her gag reflex and jut her tongue. So from what her ____ told me they were knocking her out so they could intubate her as they tried talking to her but she was clearly fogged over and non-responsive. So I sit in the waiting room with her kid and my baby, when then doctor comes out 3hrs after the fact, nice timing btw doc. but they have her intubated and she was yet to awaken. She had a sezure during intubation, which isn't good at all.

So now at what, 8:30am I am at her place and I open her latop and knew she would want her common ground places to know what's going on.

She has woken briefly but is in and out. Her sats are slightly better this morning from the 7am call I got from her _____.

He has told me NOT to publish the hospital name, because he doesn't want certian people (pppst. Im sorry Dylan I know she would want you to know but I dont want to cause issues) to know. For his own obvious self serving reasons of being a jelous man. Oh well, her bed I always said.

I can if i get enough requests keep up to date on her condition as I her/ know of it. I won't know more until Lunch as it is, but aslast I saw her she was unconcious, intubated and looking like shit. Her ____ told me she was having breathing issues for a couple days and had lost most her hunger but was force feeding herself. Which in turn probably caused one of her issues. She aspirated and now has low saturations and bronchial pneumonia along with going through withdrawal syndrome because they are not giving her, her anxiety medications as they believe (or would like to think) that she was abusing them and so they are just "keeping her comfortable". This morning before I left at 2am to bring the sleeping kids back her saturations had improved but they are still a little lower than doctors would like to see, if things keep progressing well then she might be extubated tomorrow but she has yet to regain concousness to put the doctors and her family at ease. She has been sent for MRI and has no brain trauma and no lesion like she thought she might have, but her EEG readings were unusual (whatever that means). :(

So I am lucky my gal never logs out of anything on her computer LOL Im not sure about what other sites besides this and craigslist she frequents but I guess her History would tell all and this and craigslist are all she has for about a week. Well besides porn, but thats just her perversion LOL

Well I guess I will write here in the comments when I know more.

Hope you all have a nice day! :)
 
Gosh, you sure sound a lot like Crevan - no wonder the two of you are best friends. I hope that her health improves soon and that her children are under appropriate care while she's dealing with her medical issues. Please give her my best for a fast and uneventful recovery, and tell her to send me an e-mail when she is out. She knows my e-mail address. I would like to update her about an inquiry she made to me in the past. Thanks much.
 
Yes we do. I have been her bestfriend for 20yrs and she is the godmother to my kids as I am to hers. We are like sisters but yet from different mothers. We call each other's mom's MOM too. Well mine pass away a few months back but when we all lived in the same city.

Update though. Seems that she is doing better than her other half stated to me. She was awake and fighting to get the tube out. Her sats are up and it MIGHT happen. She is coharent and wrote me out somethings to do for her. She is weak but on the mend. If things keep progressing the way they are she MIGHT be out by Monday but nothing is guareenteed. We are hoping her stats are up by tonight but they seem to lower are night and go back up in the morning. She is currently at the borderline of intubation as it is but the doctor doesn;t "feel comfortable" removing it yet. Once extubated and a little more energy in her if she is still in the hospital I am allowed to take her laptop or Iphone to her as she is not near a cardiac care unit so she can use it. They were worried about it being TB for awhile because of Terry just getting over that, but she has yet again tested negative. Looks like a bad case of Phnemonia along with a very angry psychiatrist that her Cipralex was upped from 10mg to 30mg in such a short period which could have braught the onset of agitation and depression and cause issues with her reconsctructive sergery on her palate, which already had its issues with the airway being slightly blocked along with bronchitis. What she hasn't told anyone beyond family and I is that she has been fighting breathing/Lung issues for years now. We are glad to know now that she DOES NOT have a brain leasion like suspected. Though we are waiting for an EEG to see what that will tell them.
I would have updated sooner but all of Scarborough lost power during a surge and all Rogers products (TV, PHONE, INTERNET) would not restart properly but everything is now up and running fine.
To the above poster, I actually got a "bitching" at for posting what I did in here when she found out. She didn't want me to post it after all. I never knew someone could give an "evil eye" until i mentioned what I did......don't tell her but that look reminds me of her mother haha.
If you want to email her feel free too, I have promised her that I would not read anything. She also frantically thought I told a certian person and was angry until i told her I never emailed anyone. She DOES NOT want him to know.
Also after her discharge when ever that shall be, she will be having a "meeting" at CAMH for her anxiety, depression and other issues. Now that they kind of know what's going on they have restarted her medications along with medication for her phnemonia.
She wanted me to assure everyone she is FINE and will be back to posting ASAP. Yes my girl is stubborn and at times a little in a hurry and unrealistic.
I can relay any information back and forth if wished, as I know everything that has been going on as she has confided in me as we both have been such close friends for 20yrs plus both have done the stupidest of things and now seems we both share the same disorder (Anxiety). Don;t be afraid to post anything but if you want it kept private just email it as I have no access to her email and she refuses to let me and I will adhere to her wishes.
I am not sure her email is listed on this site as I have not gone "exploring" or "snooping" as this is her site of refuge and if i was meanto know these things i would know.....so I will post her email address in here just in case.....

[email protected]

and if anyone has her home adress or cell phone number they can feel free to send get well stuff or leave a message but her "other half" has made it so no one but family and I can have access to her or even to know she is at that hospital. I seriously have issues with this and him but he is her emergenncy contact and stuff so besides her father Terry has all the say. Though I am sure I could hint, I will let it be as he is rooming me and my baby for 3 days when he did not have to and I do not want to "stir" the pot.

So I relayed all messages, and I can relay any if anyone wishes. Though I suspect she will be a little angry for quite some time at me and well everyone because of the medication "mess up". So if she does come online and is mean/rude/depressing pay no mind she should be back to herself again within 6 weeks AFTER her discharge.

I will update if she hasn't improved tomorrow morning, if she has she will probably post herself from the Iphone if its able to or I know she'll be begging me to bring her laptop.

Btw. My name is Vanessa, nice to meet you all....though i think this place really isn't "my scene" :)
